Octopus Energy has made history by being named Britain’s Most Admired Company for 2025, becoming the youngest business ever to receive this prestigious title. The announcement was made during an awards ceremony held at the London Stock Exchange, where the company also garnered six gold and two silver sector awards.
Founded just a decade ago, Octopus Energy has rapidly ascended to become the UK’s largest energy supplier. This recognition is particularly notable given that previous winners of the title have typically been established for many decades, with some existing for over a century.
Founder and CEO Greg Jackson expressed his gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the collective effort of the company’s 12,000 employees and the support from long-term investors. He remarked, “To be Britain’s Most Admired Company – voted for by other businesses, including our competitors – feels like a real achievement. It’s the result of incredible focus and dedication.”
The awards are part of a survey conducted by Echo Research in collaboration with the London Stock Exchange, which has been assessing corporate reputations for 35 years. The evaluation process involved over 350 interviews with board-level executives, financial analysts, and City commentators, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the reputations of more than 250 of the UK’s largest companies across 28 industry sectors.
In addition to the overall accolade, Octopus Energy secured the gold sector title in Energy Distribution and Supply for the third consecutive year. The company also excelled in categories such as Clarity in Strategy, Effective Use of Corporate Assets, Positive Contribution to Society, and Reducing Environmental Impact. Furthermore, it shared the gold award in Quality of Management and received silver for its Ability to Attract, Develop & Retain Talent, as well as its Capacity to Innovate.
This recognition underscores Octopus Energy’s commitment to not only providing energy solutions but also contributing positively to society and the environment, reflecting a shift in consumer expectations and corporate responsibility in the energy sector.
