Staff trips to India and fresh daily bread for staff helped packaging design consultancy Pearlfisher to take a place in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For list.

London-based Pearlfisher, noted for its design work for Green & Black's and Innocent Drinks, was ranked 37th on the list, published on Sunday (2 March), while fellow packaging design consultancy Elmwood was in 80th place.
 
According to the Sunday Times, 73% of Pearlfisher staff said they had found their dream job, while 92% felt proud to work for the organisation.

Pearlfisher took staff to an ayurvedic resort in India last year to unwind. Previous destinations have included the Maldives and New York.

Additional benefits include bread baked on-site and fresh organic fruit brought in by one of the partners from their family orchard.

Employees at Elmwood had similar job satisfaction, with 83% saying they found the work stimulating and 88% proud to work for the firm.

The company has offices in Leeds, London and Edinburgh.
