The award comes hot on the heels of Ripstone winning Gamesindustry.biz’s 2021 Best Places To Work” award, which celebrates companies with exceptional employment practices and positive approaches in areas like diversity, education and climate change.

Building on that success with an expanding team, Ripstone will continue to grow its enviable roster of profitable live games and embark on the development of exciting new IP, as well as working on select work-for-hire projects for high-profile clients.
“We’re thrilled to receive the Best Of British Business Award,” said Creative Director & Co-Founder Phil Gaskell. “It’s great to get recognition for the hard work we’ve been doing, the success we’ve had and the new steps we are taking with the opening of our two new studios in Birmingham and Marathon, Greece as we grow the business. Winning this award on the back of receiving the Best Places To Work Award is particularly satisfying, as it shows that we’ve never forgotten how important our employees are as we’ve built our business. In fact, I believe that creating a fantastic work environment at Ripstone that empowers our three teams to thrive has been key to the business success that’s seen us win this Best Of British Award”.
