THE COOL CLUB
The Ice Co is proud to announce that we have been named in the top 100 in the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2026 List by Great Place To Work® UK.
Our ranking was revealed at the prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces Awards at Grosvenor House in the heart of London, which are considered the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards. Independently assessed through a rigorous and unique process, those on the list have proved they have created a great workplace culture built on trust, supported by innovative people management practices.
Achieving our position in the Medium category fills us with pride as we’re officially acknowledged for our commitment to inclusion, quality, and growth. Over the past couple of years, we have introduced numerous new benefits for our workforce, including new training opportunities, free monthly lunches & Perkbox benefits.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces List, Great Place To Work analysed confidential employee survey feedback on trust and reaching their full human potential, as well as employees’ experiences of innovation, company values, and leadership effectiveness across departments and seniority levels. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies’ employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience. Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces status.
From our confidential 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.
Director at The Ice Co, Polly Metcalfe was thrilled with the result saying: “Being named on the UK’s Best Workplaces List means a huge amount to us. I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and the culture we’ve created together. We care about doing great work, we always put our customers first, and we’re quick to celebrate each other’s wins. Most importantly, we look out for one another and pull together as a team. That’s what makes this company special, and it’s why this recognition feels so well deserved.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK adds: “At Great Place To Work our mission is to help every workplace become a great place to work for all. We wholeheartedly endorse that what’s ‘better for business’ aligns with what’s ‘better for people,’ ultimately contributing to a better world For All™”
“Year after year, it’s truly inspiring to witness a growing number of organisations earn a spot on our UK’s Best Workplaces List. The UK’s Best Workplaces excel in creating consistently great experiences for all employees through fostering high levels of trust, pride and camaraderie to fuel increased organisational performance. These crucial elements collectively contribute to creating cultures where employees feel they can truly be themselves and thrive in a supportive and caring environment. Congratulations to The Ice Co for achieving a place on our 2026 UK’s Best Workplaces List.”
