Ashton Gate Stadium is an impressive venue that brings together sports, entertainment, and community spirit in the heart of Bristol. Established in 1887, it has grown from a local football ground to a versatile space for events, concerts, and corporate functions, always maintaining its focus on creating a rich, engaging environment for all.

Recognising the importance of employee development and wellbeing, Ashton Gate has implemented several initiatives. Weekly departmental updates and regular team meetings ensure everyone understands set goals and targets, fostering a collaborative atmosphere. The company places a strong focus on training and apprenticeships, partnering with local training providers to enhance individual skillsets and promote community ties.

Wellbeing is a priority, with an Employment Assistance Programme (EAP) providing confidential advice to all team members. The organisation’s gold membership in the Mental Health Charter reflects its commitment to supporting mental health in the workplace. Ashton Gate also hosts Wellness Weeks, offering a range of activities from meditation to pilates, and encouraging a culture of health and wellbeing.

Environmentally conscious, Ashton Gate works hard to reduce its impact on the environment through initiatives like Project Whitebeam, which focuses on understanding and reducing the organisation's environmental footprint.

The leadership team at Ashton Gate ensures transparency and accountability through clear goal setting, recognition, and ongoing opportunities for professional development. Its core values of being collaborative, honest, ambitious, maverick, and progressive are woven into daily operations, shaping a vibrant and forward-thinking workplace culture.
