Why Indurent is Among the Most Thriving Companies to Work For in The UK.
CULTURE 100 AWARD WINNER I 2026
Indurent is a leading UK developer, owner and operator of industrial and logistics space and was formed in 2024, following the integration of two established businesses under Blackstone ownership.
Building a new organisation at this scale brings both opportunity and responsibility, particularly in a sector where customers depend on reliability and consistency day to day. With a portfolio of more than 40 million square feet and a development pipeline that continues to bring forward new industrial and logistics space across the country, Indurent provides space for over 3,500 customers of all shapes and sizes, from small startups to some of the UK’s largest and well known businesses. Their marketleading operating platform is tech enabled and designed to remove friction, helping teams to work more efficiently and deliver higher levels of customer service.
The business has a clear purpose: to create space for success where everyone can work, grow and flourish. That means physical spaces, digital spaces, and mental spaces created by a culture built on openness and shared accountability.
In 2026, Indurent was named on the Culture 100 Awards list as one of the UK's most most thriving companies to work for. After reviewing over 5,000 companies and surveying over 20,000 employees, what set Indurent apart wasn’t the speed of its growth, but how culture was intentionally built, growing the team by nearly 45% in just 18 months without ever losing sight of its values.
Fairness sits at the heart of Indurent’s culture. They do the right thing by their customers, people and the communities they operate in, even when that is hard. They are open to doing things differently, collaboratively and without ego.
That sense of purpose is reinforced through collective action. LandAid is Indurent’s nominated charity partner, and colleagues across the business regularly come together to raise funds to support its mission to end youth homelessness. In 2025 alone, the team raised more than £300,000 through a wide range of activities designed to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to get involved.
The extraordinary shows up in unexpected ways. Jay Whiting, Legal Counsel and Indurent, became the youngest UK climber to conquer the Himalayan three peaks of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. In December 2025, Indurent opened up one of its warehouses to charity Cash for Kids, turning it into a Christmas gift hub, with colleagues volunteering their time to pack and distribute gifts to children.
Each year, it’s normal practice for Indurent teams to host, take part in and complete an ambitious calendar of team challenges. These include ‘Source to Sea’, a non-stop 36hour team relay along the 295km length of the Thames Path; the London to Paris cycle ride; and even a marathon run inside one of their warehouses.
For those less inclined towards feats of physical endurance, there are equally valued ways to contribute. Colleagues can raise money by taking part in LandAid’s annual Sleep Out - this year 35 colleagues slept rough for the night, raising more than £21,000 - or use dedicated volunteering days to give time and expertise to local charities and community organisations. Together, these activities reflect a culture where participation matters more than performance, and where everyone can play a part in making a difference.
That same sense of responsibility extends to the environments Indurent creates.
Sustainability is embedded in how the business operates day to day. Currently, 91% of the portfolio is rated EPC C or above, meaning the buildings meet recognised energyefficiency standards, with around 78% achieving EPC A or B. For a business launched in 2024, this provides a clear baseline and shows how quickly energy performance has been embedded into daytoday asset management.
That progress is supported by practical action. Indurent has installed 8.7MWp of solar across its portfolio, introduced EV charging where it adds value for customers, and invested in awardwinning biodiversity retrofits. These include orchards, wildflower planting, bug hotels, bird boxes and beehives, with honey sales donating £1 per jar to LandAid. Taken together, these initiatives reflect a culture that looks beyond compliance and focuses on creating spaces that work better for customers, communities and the environment.
People feel energised, valued, and part of an impactful team that cares about what they do. Big moments sit alongside everyday acts, from major fundraising efforts to the quieter things that improve someone’s day. What matters is that everyone can get involved.
Culture Club is a colleague led initiative that turns those values into everyday habits. From refreshing their team handbook with input from across the business, to creating moments that allow employees from across Indurent’s London, Birmingham and Stockport offices to connect. Alongside this, the ‘Inclusive network’ champions belonging across gender and sexuality, disability and neurodiversity, race and religion, and mental health, through open recruitment processes, monthly newsletters, and a regular programme of panel discussions and external speaker events helping everyone feel seen.
People are engaged. For example, a recent neurodiversity discussion panel, saw nearly half of the business attend.
Wellbeing is integral. Indurent places people at the heart of the organisation and cares about creating an environment where everyone can do their best work. That commitment is reflected in engagement results, with a 91% employee happiness score, and 87% of colleagues saying the business genuinely cares about wellbeing.
That support is underpinned by a considered range of benefits and wellbeing programmes, including trained mental health first aiders, MYNDUP counselling and a confidential employee assistance programme, alongside practical benefits and familyfriendly policies. Over the past year, the business has also invested more than £500,000 in learning, collaboration and wellbeing initiatives, reinforcing a culture built on openness and shared accountability.
Recognition on the Culture 100 Awards reflects what can happen when culture is built intentionally as a business scales. When fundraising efforts, inclusion, and care for the environment and local communities sit alongside day‑to‑day work, and when openness and accountability guide how people interact with one another, culture becomes a strength.
