Rothbury Group Ltd has been named one of New Zealand’s Top 5 Best Workplaces for medium to large businesses, making it the only financial services provider to achieve this recognition in 2025.

The accolade, awarded through the independent Great Place to Work® survey, places Rothbury alongside leading employers such as Hilton, Specsavers, Salesforce, and DHL.

Managing Director Roger Abel says the recognition reflects a deliberate investment in people and culture.

“Creating a strong, people-first culture is our proudest achievement. We’ve probably invested more energy into that than into strategy and that’s been a meaningful choice,” Abel says.

Rothbury’s people-first approach extends beyond its workforce to its clients. The firm’s Net Promoter Scores are more than double the industry average, demonstrating how staff engagement translates into exceptional service and long-term client trust.

“From the beginning, Rothbury has been about real people doing meaningful work,” Abel says. “This recognition is a celebration of every person who’s helped shape our journey.”

The workplace recognition comes as Rothbury celebrates 75 years in business. With more than 500 team members across New Zealand, the company continues to invest in its people, communities, and clients through a values-driven culture that has stood the test of time.
