We have been recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in Charity & Not-for-Profit™ 2026 by Great Place to Work® UK

We're delighted to announce that we have been recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in Charity & Not-for-Profit™ 2026 by Great Place to Work® UK for the second year running.

This achievement is a reflection of the culture we're continuing to build together and the commitment our colleagues show every day to supporting one another and delivering for our customers.

Colleague feedback plays a vital role in shaping our workplace. Through our Great Place to Work surveys, colleagues share honest feedback about what we're doing well and where we can improve, helping us create an even better place to work for everyone.

Louise Bassett, Chief Executive at Gentoo, said:

"I'm incredibly proud of our colleagues for helping us achieve this recognition for a second consecutive year. This award belongs to every person across Gentoo who contributes to making our organisation a supportive, inclusive and rewarding place to work.

"We know that when colleagues feel valued, supported and empowered, they are able to deliver the very best service to our customers and communities. That's why we remain committed to listening to feedback, investing in our people and continuing to build a culture where everyone can thrive.

"While we're proud of this achievement, we also know there is always more to do. We will continue working together to make Gentoo a great place to work and a great place to build a career."
