Assael impressed the judges with the generous benefits that it introduced last year. These include increasing maternity leave to 12 weeks at full pay and paternity leave to four weeks. The firm also awarded sabbaticals to employees with 10 years of service, two workers were given "round-the-world" tickets and all staff members were given £350 and an extra day's holiday to visit a city of their choice. Assael also had a record financial year in 2013/14, with income growing 36% to £5.o8m and pre-tax profit increasing by 112% to £922,000. This was based on a solid portfolio of residential and mixed-use schemes, such as the 850-home waterfront development Brooke Peninsula in Suffolk, which won planning last year.
