Grainger Motor Group: Great Place To Work® certified and voted one of the UK’s Best Workplaces 2026

What Is the Great Place to Work® Certification?

The Great Place To Work Certification™ is one of the most respected workplace recognition programmes in the world. It is awarded to organisations that create consistently outstanding employee experiences and foster a culture built on trust, pride and camaraderie.

Certification is based entirely on confidential employee feedback and an independent evaluation process. Employees are asked about their experience of leadership, workplace culture, opportunities for development, fairness, inclusion, and overall job satisfaction. Organisations that meet the required trust index score earn official Certification™ status.

This rigorous, research-driven methodology ensures that Certification is meaningful, credible, and globally recognised.
