Gather Technology is proud to have been recognised, for the second year in a row, as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Tech.
Earlier this year, the company was also named a Great Place to Work and a Best Workplace for Wellbeing, achievements that highlight a culture where people are supported to do their best work and, in turn, deliver the very best for clients.
Unlike many industry awards, these are not based on applications or submissions. Each is the result of in-depth anonymous employee feedback, combined with independent assessment by the team at Great Place to Work. For Gather, this makes the recognition particularly meaningful: it reflects the lived experience of its people, not just what’s written in a handbook. 
“As a business, we’ve always believed that if you look after your people, they’ll look after your clients,” said Najeeb Sughayer, Managing Director. “These awards show that principle in action. A thriving team delivers stronger service, deeper trust, and better outcomes for the organisations we support.”
Earning certification for a second consecutive year required more than maintaining standards. Gather has actively invested in professional development, wellbeing programmes, and transparent communication, all designed to ensure everyone feels valued and supported. These initiatives don’t just build a strong workplace; they underpin the responsive, accountable service that clients rely on.
Being named a Best Workplace in Tech is a particular point of pride, as the technology sector is often associated with long hours and high pressure. Gather’s approach proves there’s another way: Best in Tech, Best for People. By building collaboration, balance, and trust into its culture, the company ensures its teams, and its clients, are positioned for long-term success.
Simon Hebditch, Founder and Director, said: “When we started Gather eight years ago, I wanted to build the kind of workplace I’d love to be part of. This means so much to me because it suggests we’ve done that, and, more importantly, that our team feel the same way. Culture isn’t a poster on the wall; it’s how you feel on a Sunday night about going to work the next day. For us, this is a team award, and it’s that culture that keeps us here.”
