London Gatwick, the UK's second-largest airport, stands as a testament to transformation and progress. Serving over 40 million passengers annually, it's a hub that connects London to the world. Gatwick's dedication extends beyond its passengers to its employees, creating an environment where everyone belongs and has a voice. This commitment is evident in their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy which underlines the importance of employee-led groups.

Gatwick also places a high emphasis on employee growth and development. It offers a variety of programmes, from apprenticeships and graduate programmes to leadership development and on-the-job training. The airport's passion for nurturing talent is matched by its commitment to community engagement, offering its employees two paid volunteer days every year to support causes close to their hearts.

In 2023, Gatwick took its commitment to education and community engagement a step further with the opening of its dedicated STEM Centre. The Centre supports Gatwick’s Employment, Skills and Business Strategy (ESBS), and Decade of Change goals and has already welcomed hundreds of students from regional schools for practical learning and hands-on activities.

Through its Foundation Fund, Gatwick supports community projects, and as part of the VINCI network, it fosters social cohesion. Additionally, the Gatwick Airport Community Trust, supports local communities most affected by the airport's operations. Since 2015, Gatwick and its employees have raised over £1 million for charity partners, reflecting the airport's commitment to the local communities where they live and work.
