Nurturing their workforce
The UK Company Culture Awards recognise organisations across the country that nurture their workforce, reward their staff, and create an environment that proves everyone is valued.
It celebrates workplaces that see their staff as people and strive to care for employee’s career development, mental health, and physical well-being.

“Furthermore, we are proud to represent the Isle of Wight as the only Island based business at the awards.”
Stiff competition
Brightbulb has been nominated alongside Berry Bros and Rudd, Oban International / YMCA DownsLink Group and Redbrain and Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
The category recognises the work that businesses and in-house teams do to support their local community or charity of choice.
Raising money for Wight Brainy Bunch
The Mince Pie Marathon is an innovative initiative created by Brightbulb CEO, Matt Jeffery, four years ago to help raise money for the Wight Brainy Bunch, brain tumour charity.
The event has engaged businesses and members of the community on and off the Island through the sale and delivery of mince pies, helping raise close to £25,000 since its inception for charity.
Jeffery: It creates an incredible team bond
Brightbulb Head of Happiness, Fiona Jeffery, commented,
“The Mince Pie Marathon is a big part of our company culture at Brightbulb. The whole team enjoy getting behind it and promoting the event.
“It creates an incredible team bond and helps with our own CSR as a growing UK business.”
The winners will be announced at an awards gala evening on Thursday 2nd May at the prestigious Sheraton Grand, Park Lane in London.
