“This is still a people business and talent is key. Without great people we have no business, I am extremely proud of the talent that exists within our business and love to see new starters develop quickly, add strength to our team and value to our clients. Every day, through client feedback, I am reminded of what an exceptional team we’ve built. We are ambitious and want to grow with our clients which requires continuous investment in people.”
Mark Hiley, Founder & CEO

“Our story started 13 years ago with two friends at a kitchen table arguing over stocks. As our business has grown, its essential essence hasn’t changed: Strive to find great stocks, challenge the ideas and care for each other. Our aim with Great Place to Work, and our many HR initiatives, is to institutionalise the values evident around that kitchen table and so create an environment that excels for clients, strives to help colleagues achieve the best of themselves and gives back through meaningful charitable association. And, of course, to maintain an environment in which stock obsessives can live their passion of looking for, finding and arguing over great ideas.”
Mark Hiley, Founder & CEO
A Great Place to Work ranking survey was provided to all The Analyst staff. The survey is formulated to provide positive and negative responses. GPTW charge for this service, which is open to all employers in the UK.
The Analyst has supported Sarcoma UK since 2011. The partnership is the legacy of Jonny Scriven who died from Sarcoma while in his early thirties. Mark Hiley, our CEO and founder, had worked with Jonny at Fidelity since they were 21. They were setting up The Analyst together with other former colleagues when Jonny was diagnosed with Sarcoma. In Jonny’s last few weeks, Mark promised to donate a share of profits as the business grew to Sarcoma UK, the charity that had supported him after his diagnosis.
These contributions are specifically allocated to Sarcoma UK’s research initiatives, aimed at enhancing diagnosis accuracy, developing advanced treatments, and improving outcomes for Sarcoma patients.
Sarcoma UK is a national charity dedicated to funding crucial research, providing support to individuals affected by Sarcoma cancer, and advocating for improved treatments. It remains the sole UK charity focusing on all forms of Sarcoma and has become a major supporter of Sarcoma research, having invested over £5.5 million in 76 research projects to date.
