Notcutts Garden Centres has received a gold accreditation for the Best Employers Eastern Region Awards. The accreditation, awarded every two years, recognises Notcutts’ positive approach to the wellbeing and development of teams across its garden centres in Woodbridge, Norwich, Brampton and Peterborough, as well as its support office team in Woodbridge.

The Best Employers awards, created by Pure Resourcing Solutions and Eras over a decade ago, celebrates the region’s top employers, identifying excellent workplace culture, team, engagement and leadership.

Colleagues at Notcutts’ 19 garden centres nationwide complete an employee survey, with the results from the centres in the eastern region entered into the Best Employers awards. Successfully achieving survey scores in the top 25 per cent gives companies the opportunity to be awarded accreditation.

Notcutts were honoured to receive their Gold accreditation at the Best Employers Eastern Region Award Conference on 15th October at Newmarket Racecourse, joined by leaders, innovators and culture champions from across the region.

Sarah Dempsey, HR Director at Notcutts, said: “We are delighted to have achieved Gold accreditation in the Best Employers Eastern Region awards.  This recognition reflects the dedication and passion of our teams across the company and builds on the momentum from our Silver accreditation in 2023.  It’s a proud moment that reinforces our commitment to creating a workplace where people feel valued, supported and inspired to grow.

“Colleagues across our garden centres, restaurants and support office teams completed the Best Employers survey to give their feedback about working at Notcutts. The Best Employers judges praised our ‘well-rounded people strategy, highlighting strengths in recognition, development, wellbeing, diversity and community impact’. Our regular employee surveys are the cornerstone of our commitment to listening and learning from our colleagues and provide valuable insight into how our teams experience life at Notcutts and this feedback helps us shape a workplace where people can truly flourish.”
