Lovey named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026

We are thrilled to share some exciting news: Lovey has been recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, powered by Work Medium Organisation.  

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work is one of the UK's most respected workplace awards, recognising organisations with the highest levels of employee engagement, experience and wellbeing. This year's list features 567 organisations across the country, and we are incredibly proud to be among them.

The award is based on real feedback from our team, gathered through WorkL's independently developed survey. Employees across Lovey shared their honest views on everything from day-to-day job satisfaction to how valued, informed and empowered they feel. This result belongs to every single person here.  

The announcement was published on Friday, 22nd May online at thetimes.com/best-places-to-work and will appear in the print edition of the newspaper this Sunday, May 24.

Jack Smith, CEO and Founder of Lovey, said:

“I’m over the moon with this recognition. It means everything to know we’ve built such a special place to work. I could tell you, brick by brick, how to build a business. But if I said I had a perfect formula for building culture, I’d be lying. Culture comes from the people, the energy, the tough days, the wins, and everyone genuinely caring about what we’re building together. That’s what makes Lovey special.”

Zoe Thomas, editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work, said:  

“In an evolving world of work Britain’s leading employers are helping staff forge careers that count today – and in the future. In turn, the Best Places to Work have the resilience to weather the current economic storms baked in, thanks to engaged workers who go above and beyond with a smile. Our winning employers span sizes and sectors – from tiny charities and specialist law firms, to multinational fast-food chains and utility giants, and everywhere in between. The thread joining them is the belief that a happy workforce is a stepping stone to better performance, faster growth, and bigger profits. More than that, there’s a collective instinct that a contented rank-and-file is a worthwhile business goal in and of itself.”

Lord Mark Price, founder of WorkL, said:

“I am delighted that more companies than ever entered this year's Best Places to Work awards and more have been given winner’s medals.  The scores are higher than last year showing a greater focus being put on how employees feel. All our research at WorkL clearly shows that happier workforces drive better commercial performance.”

Being a great place to work has always been central to who we are at Lovey. We believe that a happy, supported team is the foundation of everything we do, the work we produce, the relationships we build with clients and partners, and the culture we create together. This recognition affirms that we are moving in the right direction, and it motivates us to keep going.

To our team: thank you. This is yours.
