Freetobook Wins Breakthrough Culture Award: Putting People First

We are over the moon to announce that freetobook has won the prestigious Breakthrough Culture Award – a testament to our commitment to fostering a people-first workplace where collaboration, innovation, and well-being thrive. 

The Breakthrough Culture Awards celebrate UK companies that put their teams first, creating workplaces where people feel valued, empowered, and genuinely happy to be. For us, this award isn’t just about recognition – it’s proof that the culture we’ve nurtured over the years is making a real impact. 

Reflecting on this achievement, Iain Stewart, Director of freetobook, shared: 

“It’s a significant milestone for us. When people come to work feeling valued, it fosters cohesion and a shared sense of purpose. The most rewarding part is watching our culture evolve as new team members bring fresh perspectives and energy. Work can be demanding, but when you create something meaningful that others appreciate, it makes all the difference. Seeing this happen over the years is a constant source of pride for me – it means more than any other metric.”  

Kit Gambles, Head of People at freetobook, added: 

“Our customers and partners already know how fantastic our People are, and within freetobook we’ve always recognised what makes this such a unique place to work. Winning this award provides some external validation of the culture we’ve nurtured together. We are growing something special, and we are rightly proud of it.”  

At freetobook, we firmly believe that a happy team is the foundation of a successful business. This award reinforces our ongoing commitment to building a workplace that champions innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. 

As we celebrate this accomplishment, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to every member of the freetobook team. Your dedication, hard work, and passion have shaped our culture over the past 25 years – and will continue to drive us forward. 

Here’s to many more years of growing, thriving, and celebrating together!
