Lemongrass has won the ‘Sunday Times Best Places to Work’ award for 2025 for the second time, and was named best small company in the marketing and advertising category.
The Oxfordshire-based B Corp travel PR agency reported a 98% employee engagement rate, nearly four times the industry average of 25%.
Other scores included 97% in wellbeing, 0% flight risk, 98% confidence in management, 97% reward and recognition, 98% in information sharing, 100% empowerment, 98% instilling pride, and 98% job satisfaction.
The nationwide survey recognises the UK’s top workplaces based on reward and recognition, instilling pride, information sharing, empowerment, wellbeing, and job satisfaction.
This year, the survey also highlighted best places to work in seven sectors, including marketing and advertising.
Mirjam Peternek McCartney (pictured), founder and chief executive officer of Lemongrass, said: “We are incredibly proud to be named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work for the second time.
“This recognition is a testament to the culture we have built, where creativity, collaboration and care for one another lie at the heart of everything we do.
