David Williams, Partner, Financial Services Technology at EY and one of the judges commented, “Gold-i’s values stood out in their submission – I like the fact that they give their team permission to be bold, tenacious and collaborative. Their values are clearly driven top down, which is also good to see.”

Another judge, David Harris, Partner, Financial Services at Baringa added, “I like the tone that Gold-i’s CEO sets from the top. Tom Higgins is a firm believer that “if employees enjoy being at work, feel valued and there’s a fun positive atmosphere in the office, they will be far more motivated to succeed.” This, combined with the firm’s “Action Against the Odds” mantra, gives them an excellent foundation for being a great workplace. I was also impressed by the collaborative nature and the importance that Gold-i places on helping each other to reach their goals.”
