Leader | REVEALED: Glassdoor's Top CEOs UK 2019

Glassdoor has released its survey from employees of businesses to find who they think are the top CEOs of 2019.

All reviews are anonymous, voluntary submissions from employees through Glassdoor throughout the year. The average company CEO rating is 69% on Glassdoor, with around 900,000 companies registered and reviewed on there.

Top of the list this year was Peter Simpson, CEO of Anglian Water, beating companies such as Google, IKEA and Apple. Anglian also came first place in the industry league tables for customer service this year. Simpson has a great relationship with his employees, talking a lot about the “social contract” between the company and those it employs.
