From mission to movement
We’re all about building cultures where people feel seen, heard and motivated every single day. Because when your people feel valued, they do more than just get by – they thrive.
And when your people thrive, your business does too.
Our journey so far...
Today’s Perkbox is the result of two trailblazing companies uniting in one powerful mission:
Every employee deserves to feel valued.
2005:
Vivup gets started
Vivup sets out to support employee wellbeing through practical, impactful benefits in the UK’s public sector.
2010 – 2015:
From Huddlebuy to Perkbox
Huddlebuy helped small businesses thrive with access to tools, perks and discounts. In 2015, it evolved into Perkbox, setting a new standard for employee experience in the private sector.
2015 – 2023:
Two market leaders, one mission
As Vivup cements its place as a leader in UK employee benefits, Perkbox expands globally, reshaping employee engagement in Australia and supporting teams worldwide. They share a mission, and soon, they would share a future...
2024:
Perkbox and Vivup combine
Vivup and Perkbox unite into a single, streamlined organisation, combining decades of experience under a unified mission: to make every employee feel valued.
2025:
Welcome to the new Perkbox
The launch of a unified product under a bold new brand marks an exciting new chapter in achieving our mission. Together, we combine decades of expertise to support every employee, everywhere.
Our platform
Our platform combines best-in-class employee wellbeing, benefits and engagement tools to help companies create a culture where everyone feels valued. With one app, we help you:
- Care for your team with support for their physical, mental and financial wellbeing
- Connect with them through tools that strengthen bonds
- Celebrate their hard work, wins and milestones
