Michels & Taylor (M&T), the leading hotel management and advisory business, has been recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, celebrating the UK’s top employers for employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience.

Published in partnership with employee experience platform WorkL, The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list highlights organisations across the UK that are leading the way in creating supportive, inclusive and high-performing workplace cultures.

The 2026 list features 567 organisations nationwide across a wide range of sectors, recognising businesses that excel in areas including employee wellbeing, professional development, inclusion and leadership.

Michels & Taylor’s inclusion reflects the company’s continued investment in its people-first culture, commitment to career progression and focus on creating an environment where employees feel valued, empowered and supported.

Hugh Taylor, CEO of M&T proudly states: "There is no greater honour for a company than to be recognised as a great place to work. We are absolutely delighted to have been acknowledged in this way. Our people are the most important and valuable asset we have and this award is entirely down to their efforts and commitment to making Michels & Taylor what it is today."

The recognition comes during a period of continued growth for M&T, which provides hotel management, asset management, consultancy and advisory services to hotel owners and investors across the UK and Europe.

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work celebrates organisations of all sizes and sectors that demonstrate consistently high levels of employee experience and engagement.

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