Grainger Motor Group named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2026

We are proud to announce that we have been named among the top of UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™.

New for this year, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List recognises companies making employee development a key part of company culture. These workplaces offer employees the chance to better themselves, to learn new skills, and to progress within the organisation. They understand that development is not one-size fits all, and they actively support every single employee to undertake their own tailored journey of growth. Because of this, their people are fueled by a sense of purpose, feel valued by their employer, and give their best to the organisation.

Our inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges our commitment to development, innovation and employee growth.

To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List, Great Place to Work® reviewed our culture, benefits, approach to leadership and development, alongside anonymous responses from our employees. They then used these data insights to benchmark our company's employee value proposition against the culture our employees actual experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.

From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall, our team highly commends our dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across our business.

“Learning and development go beyond enabling people to do their jobs well today – they signal that employees matter and that their future within the organisation is taken seriously. When individuals can clearly see how they can grow and progress, they’re far more likely to feel motivated, engaged and committed. Without that visibility, both performance and retention can suffer,” said Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK.

“A strong approach to development is inherently forward?looking. It reflects an investment in long-term potential, helps people feel recognised for who they are and what they can become, and reinforces a positive, inclusive workplace culture. Each year, we’re proud to recognise organisations that are creating environments where both people and businesses flourish – and meaningful learning opportunities are central to that success. That’s why we’re so excited to reveal this year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Development.”

We’re so proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place To Work has provided us with to build on our culture and employee satisfaction.
