A Win for Our People

We are proud to announce that Gripple has won the BCC Business of the Year award in the People & Work category in our region! This prestigious award recognises the unique culture we’ve built and celebrates our dedication to doing things differently.

As a 100% employee-owned company, every one of our employee-owners plays a key role in driving innovation and success. This award reflects the value we place on our people and our culture of ownership, where everyone contributes to our growth.

The Gripple Spirit

Central to our way of working is the “Gripple Spirit”, which represents the core values we live by: fun, innovation, passion, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and integrity. We believe when people are free to express creativity, great things happen.  Diversity and inclusion are central to this, as we embrace different perspectives that help us challenge industry norms and push boundaries. With over 900 employee-owners across the globe, our Gripple community thrives on these values, driving us forward.

Building a Strong Talent Pipeline

Our approach to recruitment and retention focuses on fairness, equity, and inclusion. We continually review our tools to eliminate unconscious bias and prioritise transferable skills and values over qualifications. This ensures we’re hiring the right people who bring fresh ideas and energy to the business. Our early careers programme also plays a key role in growing our talent pipeline, offering young people a supportive, fun environment to start their careers and contribute to Gripple’s diversity.

With people at the heart of everything we do, we are particularly delighted to win this award. It is testament to the efforts of all our employee owners in creating a business that people quite simply want to be a part of, a place where people just want to be! We continually strive to make sure our people are trained, long serving and happy, working in an environment where they feel they truly belong.
Emma Hibbert, Head of People & Recruitment

Investing in Our People

Our people drive our success, so we invest heavily in their learning and development. With more than 75% of Gripple UK employees having personal development plans, we ensure everyone can succeed. Leadership development is also a priority, with 91 employees completing training, and our Gripple Ambassador programme inspires the next generation through community and education engagement.

A Force for Good

As a proud B-Corp, we’re driven by more than just profits—we’re committed to giving back and making a positive impact. Our employee-owned culture, combined with our passion for fun and innovation, makes Gripple a true force for good for our people, customers, and communities.

This award celebrates our collective success to date and the amazing things we strive to accomplish together in the future!
