Bird & Blend Tea Co have been featured in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024, powered by WorkL! Here's what they had to say!

The article is celebrating companies that are doing a great job of engaging & supporting people of all ages with work that’s meaningful, purposeful and inspiring - which speaks directly to what we are all about, so we really couldn’t be more chuffed. "

The list highlights the UK’s top-ranking employers in six key areas: reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, well-being, instilling pride, and job satisfaction. To make the list, each company must achieve a minimum response rate (based on its size) and be ranked above 70 per cent by its own workforce. Although the final listing is determined by an engagement score average, a highly engaged workplace must perform well in all six areas.

Our founding mission statement (written on the back of a napkin over 10 years ago) was to: ‘Prove you could build a successful business that based its decisions on people & planet, not just profit’.

Fast forward to today, and our core strategic purpose is to be known and loved as a great place to work, and so to receive this kind of recognition is something we’re hugely proud of.

Needless to say, we are thrilled to be celebrated for our ‘refreshing approach’ by The Sunday Times: ‘At Worthing-based Bird & Blend Tea, for instance, co-founders Krisi Smith and Mike Turner know all 164 employees by name and initiatives including paid volunteering days and a monthly tea allowance make life at work feel sweet.’

Huge shout out to our incredible, magical & trailblazing TEAm whose passion, dedication & creativity make Bird & Blend what it is!
