“Lots of restaurants serve great food but we know that it’s the passion, creativity, personality and hard work of our teams that have helped us to get where we are today. I want to thank each and every one of them for every shift, every smile and for sticking by us on this journey.”
Chief People Officer at Cardiff based AMPLYFI, Rony Seamons, said he was delighted to have been listed on their very first application.
He said: “When we first applied to be considered by Best Companies, I was hoping we might achieve ‘One to Watch’ Status, which would give us a good base to grow from.

“We’ve put a lot of effort into making sure the culture here at AMPLYFI is a welcoming one, where everyone feels heard, regardless of their position, what office they work from or how often they are in that office."
