If you've earned more than one recognition from Great Place to Work^®, please ensure the correct Tech list logo is used whenever communicating your UK's Best Workplaces™ in Tech success. Do not use the UK's Best Workplaces™ list logo or your Great Place to Work-Certified™ badge to denote your Tech list recognition.
