Whiteley socials

Christmas party

Our Christmas do is the highlight of the social calendar for many, so we don’t take it lightly! Colleagues at our Head Office in Whiteley and their partners (should they choose to bring a plus one) enjoy a grand black tie Christmas ball paid for by the company. Hosted at Southampton Guildhall, the night’s filled with a three-course dinner, drinks, music, entertainment and our annual staff awards ceremony. Every year is a new theme and we don’t skimp on the décor! Previous themes have included ‘circus’, ‘Rio carnival’ and ‘under the sea’, as well as a classy 1930’s theme for our 30th anniversary celebrations.

A day at the races

When the nicer weather comes, it’s great to get dressed up for a sociable day out in the sunshine. Staff from our UK offices and their guests are invited to attend the races every year for an afternoon of horse racing and socialising in the sun, followed by a DJ set in the evening. We treat our staff to their entrance tickets and travel, so it’s a great opportunity to all get together and meet others from around the business who we don’t usually work with.

Rewards

A career should never be dull and at Gattaca we make it our mission to build an environment that’s fun and where our staff feel rewarded for their hard work and efforts. Each of our employees makes a valuable contribution to the business so we like to reward them for their efforts throughout the year, recognising both individual and team performance. Rewards include team lunches, bottles of champagne as well as weekends away and trips abroad.

Socials

Every three months we host an ‘end of quarter’ presentation for each office to get everyone together and update them on business activity, performance and key updates. The presentations are a great opportunity to celebrate the end of a busy quarter together and prepare for the next quarter ahead. We also have a social committee within the business who arrange a variety of social activities including bowling, Christmas coach trips to London and fireworks displays. We all work hard, so it’s great to have a busy social calendar with lots of events to look forward to.
