The UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™
The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ has also officially recognised Vidett within the top 80 medium-sized businesses amongst 330 ranked organisations.

The companies on the list are committed to ensuring a balance of women and men across the organisation, removing barriers to women’s career advancement, and creating workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work UK, says: “Workplaces are only great if they’re great for all employees. For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ list has been paving the way by tackling discrimination, removing barriers to women’s advancement in their careers, and challenging taboos around subjects like menopause and endometriosis. Importantly, each of the companies on the list has been commended by their female employees through anonymous feedback, indicating that their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure fair treatment in recognition, training, and promotion opportunities.”
