HGF named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ 2026
July 2026
HGF has been named in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ 2026 list.
The Best Workplaces for Women list recognises companies in the UK that are removing barriers to women’s career advancement and creating workplaces where all colleagues, regardless of gender, can flourish.
Our inclusion on this exclusive list reflects our commitment to creating a consistently positive colleague experience and a culture that supports people, strengthens business performance and contributes to wider society.
Over the past few years, we’ve strengthened this commitment through a range of benefits, policies and initiatives designed to make HGF a great workplace for everyone, including our New Parent Leave policy, Flexible Working Policy, and Menopause Affinity Group.
One colleague referenced some of the policies we deliver in their feedback: “Great flexible working policy, excellent parental leave, well trained and friendly support staff.”
Another noted: “There’s flexibility to work from home without requiring fixed office days and flexible hours, allowing for good work-life balance.”
Martyn Fish, CEO commented: “Our inclusion in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women List is a testament to the progressive culture we have fostered within the business. Looking ahead, we remain focused on listening to our colleagues and acting on their feedback, so we can continue building a progressive, inclusive culture where everyone at HGF feels supported to thrive.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work UK says:
“This year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Women list celebrates businesses making a genuine difference day to day, not just in what they say, but in how people experience work. What matters most is that this recognition comes directly from women working in these organisations, who tell us they feel supported, valued, and able to grow.
Our research demonstrates that these organisations creating high-trust environments are delivering stronger results, whether in financial outcomes, impact, or service delivery, alongside greater agility and resilience in the face of change.
Congratulations to HGF for creating an environment where inclusion is clearly felt in practice.”
We’re proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place to Work has provided us with to continually build on our culture and colleague satisfaction.
