We are proud to announce that we have been recognised by UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ 2025, ranking 36th among companies with over 1,000 colleagues.
At Acorn, we pride ourselves on the creation of inclusive, high-performing teams that champion upcoming female leaders. This is just one of the reasons why the women that work here believe it’s a great place to work.
We have made considerable progress in closing the gender pay gap by promoting from within, supporting flexible career paths, and championing the strong entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of our business. We are committed to closing this gap further — we will continue to conduct analysis into the root causes of the pay gap and review our recruitment and promotion practices in accordance.
The 2025 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.
Nikki Keating, Executive Director
The 350 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.
Nikki Keating, Executive Director at Acorn Group, said: “We are delighted to be recognised by as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women. This award is a powerful testament to our commitment to fostering a workplace where women feel supported, valued, and empowered to thrive both personally and professionally.
“Creating a supportive and equitable environment has always been a priority for us, and this achievement reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire team.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says: “This year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Women list highlights organisations that are moving beyond good intentions and delivering real, measurable progress. These companies are dismantling outdated norms, prioritising women’s health, and building clear, supported pathways to leadership.
This recognition is driven by what matters most: the voices of women who work there. They’ve said, in their own words, that their workplace is one where they’re respected, empowered, and able to succeed.
Congratulations to The Acorn Group for leading by example — and showing what a genuinely inclusive workplace can look like.”
