Gleeds has announced that it has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces (2026) by Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, for the third time.
After rigorous evaluations of hundreds of its Trust Index employee survey responses alongside Culture Audit™ submissions from company leaders, Gleeds has once again been ranked among the top 50 businesses in the ‘super large’ category on this year’s UK's Best Workplaces list. Data insights were used to benchmark the effectiveness of companies' employee value propositions against the culture those employees experience, with only those achieving the highest scores gaining Best Workplaces™ status.
I am so pleased to see Gleeds featuring on the Best Workplaces list again this year, further proof that our people feel supported and valued.
Behind the scenes, we have been working hard to develop our employee value proposition, core to which is acknowledging that at the heart of Gleeds’ culture is our people. Without them, the business wouldn’t exist, and it certainly wouldn’t thrive. Everything we do is grounded in creating an environment where everyone feels motivated and able to do their best work. That sense of belonging and shared purpose is what makes us special and I’m thrilled to see that reflected in this accreditation.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK added, “At Great Place To Work our mission is to help every workplace become a great place to work for all. We wholeheartedly endorse that what's 'better for business' aligns with what's 'better for people,' ultimately contributing to a better world For All™"
“Year after year, it's truly inspiring to witness a growing number of organisations earn a spot on our UK’s Best Workplaces List. We’ve seen an increase yet again in Trust Index scores which means the bar has been raised and this accreditation is a significant and tremendous accomplishment. The UK’s Best Workplaces excel in creating consistently great experiences for all employees through fostering high levels of trust, pride and camaraderie to fuel increased organisational performance. These crucial elements collectively contribute to creating cultures where employees feel they can truly be themselves and thrive in a supportive and caring environment. Congratulations to Gleeds for achieving a place on our 2026 UK’s Best Workplaces List," he went on to say.
The Top 50 firms were officially announced last night at the prestigious Best Workplaces Awards held at London’s Grosvenor House.
