Peak
Manchester · founded 2015
Peak is a Manchester-founded AI company (2015) building 'decision intelligence' / agentic AI software that helps retailers and manufacturers optimise inventory and pricing. Its careers pitch leans hard on shared ownership, a flat structure and open communication, and it runs global hubs in Manchester, Jaipur (India) and New York. In March 2025 Peak was acquired by UiPath, so the independent-startup culture it advertises now sits inside a much larger public software company.

the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Peak. It applies to every employer in Manchester.
| Birthing-parent leave | 52 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
|---|---|
| Partner leave | 2 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| State pension | auto-enrolment: employer contributes at least 3% of qualifying earnings (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Disability rights at work | Equality Act 2010: disability is a protected characteristic and s.20 imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Neurodivergent adjustments | Reasonable adjustments are owed on the IMPACT of a condition, not on a diagnosis. ACAS is explicit that no formal diagnosis is required, so the duty can arise before anyone has been assessed -- which matters when an adult autism assessment is a multi-year wait. Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia are covered where the effect on day-to-day activities is substantial and long-term. Asking for an adjustment is itself protected: you cannot lawfully be dismissed or treated worse for asking. (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| State school fees | state schools free; independent schools are unsubsidised (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
