A leading accountancy firm has been named one of the best employers in the Eastern Region, achieving Gold accreditation in the 2023 Best Employers Awards scheme.
Lovewell Blake, which has around 330 staff across seven offices in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, received the accolade after a thorough judging process which examined results of a comprehensive staff survey, as well as looking at a range of evidence about the firm’s professional development programmes, culture, value, and staff communications.
The judges were impressed with Lovewell Blake’s training programmes, as well as their willingness to listen to staff, commenting:
‘This was a compelling application that was rich in content, and evidenced how they put people and culture at the heart of their decision-making.’
Lovewell Blake managing partner Kevin Bunting said, “We are delighted to be recognised again as a ‘Gold’ Best Employer. A firm like ours is all about our people, and in the current climate, attracting and retaining the best people is how we will maintain a competitive edge.
“We are proud to be just one of 17 employers in the entire region to achieve a Gold Award, and we will continue to work hard to ensure we remain an employer of choice for the very best talent in our profession.”
The Best Employers Eastern Region programme was established in 2018 by recruitment experts Pure and psychometrics specialists eras, and is supported by legal firm Birketts.
