We are delighted to announce that De Vere has been recognised for a second time in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work!The prestigious Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 list is produced following a UK wide survey our colleagues responded to earlier this year.The survey is created by behavioural scientists, business leaders and academics and ranksorganisations in six key areas in order to find the UK’s happiest workplaces:1. Reward and recognition2. Information sharing3. Empowerment4. Wellbeing5. Instilling pride6. Job satisfactionWe are delighted to say that De Vere scored “Excellent” in each of these six key areas and well above the industry and global averages. Some of the standout engagement scores from the survey included 86% of colleagues feeling proud to work for De Vere, 85% feeling happy at work, 85% having confidence in management and 87% feeling they have job satisfaction.We recognise that the success of any business is driven by its people, and we are fortunate to have so many exceptional colleagues who contribute to making De Vere such a rewarding workplace.

With annual initiatives such as the You Are De Vere Awards and De Vere’s Got Talent, we aim to create a culture which acknowledges the exceptional talent amongst our team and rewards those who go above and beyond.

We now have three simple routes for bookers to host more sustainable events:
1. Bookers offset the event themselves using our event carbon calculator
Takes just two minutes to completeThey input a few details and submit payment directlyBest for: Bookers who want a more precise calculation and when you're not using this as a conversion tool
2. You offset their carbon footprint as a conversion tool
No need to use the calculator – simply follow the steps on the attached poster (the web form is being built next week so not currently available on the link)Best for: Events you’re keen to convert where sustainability could be a key decision factorFYI: It costs just £180 to offset a one-day event for 200 delegates
3. You manage the offsetting process on behalf of the booker and pass on the cost
Follow the same steps as in point 2You pass the charges to the booker on their event invoice – they don’t need to use the calculatorBest for: Bookers who care about sustainability but are short on time and are unlikely to use the calculator themselvesEvery tree we plant counts towards our group impact profile, and we want to grow this number so we can shout about it.
Individual impact profiles are set up for each hotel and yours can be accessed via:
