ProCook named a UK’s Best Workplaces for Women

The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ has officially recognised Gloucester-headquartered kitchenware retailer ProCook among the 330 ranked organisations.
The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women List is made up of employers whose people have told Great Place To Work UK they work for a place that is inclusive and equitable for all. The 330 companies on the list are committed to ensuring a reasonable 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.
People and ESG Director Sarah Wheatley said: “In the past few years, we’ve focussed heavily on improving our policies and benefits for all colleagues, including improved training and progression opportunities and enhanced maternity and paternity leave. Around 65% of our workforce are women so to receive confirmation that we’re on the right path through anonymous feedback from our own people is fantastic.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK added: “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 the menopause, and endometriosis.
“Importantly, each of the companies on the list have been commended by their own female employees through their anonymous feedback that told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities.
“It’s fantastic to once again see a wide spread of sectors and organisational sizes appearing on our Best Workplaces for Women List this year – congratulations to all!”
