This award comes hot on the heels of Ripstone winning Gamesindustry.biz’s 2021 “Best Places To Work” award, which celebrates companies with exceptional employment practices and positive approaches in areas like diversity, education and climate change.
Phil Gaskell, Creative Director and Co-Founder, said “it’s great to get recognition for the hard work we’ve been doing, the success we’ve had and the new steps we are taking with the opening of our two new studios in Birmingham and Greece as we grow the business. Winning this award on the back of receiving the Best Places To Work Award is particularly satisfying, as it shows that we’ve never forgotten how important our employees are while we’ve built our business. In fact, I believe that creating a fantastic work environment at Ripstone is what empowers our teams to thrive. Empowered teams is the key to the business success that’s seen us win this Best Of British Award.”
The award is presented by the Business Reporter Hub published on The Independent on the 11th of November 2021.
