We have retained our Great Place to Work certification

We are delighted to retain our certification of Great Place to Work™ after our last all colleague survey in November. 

To help us build a great workplace we need to gather all colleague feedback. The Great Place to Work® Trust Index survey measures the level of trust you experience at work and Great Place to Work certification is a globally recognised certificate which enables us to attract and retain talent and benchmark our culture.   

Louise Bassett, Chief Executive Officer at Gentoo, shared: 
“I’m incredibly proud of every colleague at Gentoo. It’s fantastic to be officially recognised as a Great Place to Work! This achievement is a testament to the dedication and positivity of each and every colleague at Gentoo. 

"2025 has been another successful year for Gentoo, especially with the launch of our new corporate strategy, which puts our customers right at the heart of everything we do. 

"Our journey to build an outstanding workplace culture is ongoing, because we want every colleague to love working here and feel proud to share that with others. This accreditation is just the start.”
