IronmongeryDirect Recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces™ 2021

The Best Workplaces™ Award recognises companies that promote a healthy workplace culture through management credibility, respect, fairness, trust, pride and camaraderie. The Great Place to Work® institute assessed our performance using an anonymous employee survey to gauge levels of trust in the company and of colleagues, and a further assessment evaluated our HR and leadership practices, policies and culture.

Despite an incredibly challenging year operating during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to sustain our award-winning culture and achieve ranking on the 2021 UK’s Best Workplaces™ list, placing 58th in the medium-size category, moving up in the rankings from last year’s result.  

Remarking on this achievement, our Managing Director, Marco Verdonkschot said: “We are extremely proud to be named as one of the Best Workplaces™ in the UK by Great Place to Work®, for the second year running. It’s a wonderful achievement that solidifies our efforts to create a working environment that is accessible and beneficial for all of our colleagues. This fantastic result is a testament to our staff who feel confident in the workplace and work hard to achieve IronmongeryDirect’s goals.

“We know that a motivated workforce means our customers always get the very best treatment in return, and we are continuously looking for ways to improve our workplace and employee wellbeing. Our ongoing learning and development programme encourages our employees to deepen their knowledge of the industry, gain new skills and ignite personal growth.”
