Brighton tech company among the best businesses in the UK

Paxton, which has its headquarters on Home Farm Road in Moulescomb, has achieved a 49th placed ranking in The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for 2018 list.

“This is a wonderful milestone in Paxton’s journey, it embodies our ambition to be world-class in all that we do, from our products and services, to our working environment.

We’ve worked hard to develop a positive company culture and to support our staff on each step of their career with us.

“I’d like to thank all the Paxton team, they have been responsible for our success to date, and will continue to determine the extent of our future successes.”
