Best Companies | Vax Ltd Company Profile

Vax is a UK-based floorcare innovator with deep roots in Droitwich and a culture built around its THRIVE values: Teamwork, Honesty, Resilience, Innovation, Valued and Energy. These principles are at the heart of the business and shape the way employees connect, grow, and succeed together.

From day one, new starters are welcomed into an environment that promotes collaboration, development and wellbeing. Through the THRIVE framework and initiatives like the THRIVE Awards, Vax celebrates the everyday contributions that make a difference – strengthening its values-led culture in meaningful ways.

Employee wellbeing is embedded through holistic support that includes the internal THRIVE app, a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, private medical cover, free GP access and on-site perks such as free fruit and subsidised gym memberships. Learning and development are prioritised through the Achieve coaching framework, professional qualifications, and access to over 100 self-led courses on the GoodHabitz platform. For those stepping into leadership, a new management development pathway launching in 2025 will support future-focused skill building.

Connection is at the core of the Vax experience, whether through regular company updates, inclusive events like the THRIVE Festival, or day-to-day recognition via peer-nominated THRIVE cards. Leadership maintains clarity by linking decisions to shared values and ensuring teams understand how their work contributes to success. With a people-first mindset, Vax continues to invest in culture, development and connection—supporting a workforce that is motivated, informed and ready to thrive.
