Nineteen Group, the UK-based international events, exhibitions and media company, has been named among the 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work™. The recognition was announced on 10 September by Inspiring Workplaces Group in association with Prezzee, highlighting organisations that demonstrate a strong commitment to their people, workplace culture and employee experience.
The recognition places Nineteen Group among 100 organisations selected through the 2026 Inspiring Workplaces Awards process. The annual programme evaluates organisations across major global regions and uses an independently judged, story-based assessment process to examine how businesses support their employees and create inspiring workplaces.
For Nineteen Group, the recognition comes as the company continues to expand its international events and media operations while developing its teams across the UK and overseas markets.
Nineteen Group Secures Place Among Global Top 100
The 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work brings together the highest-scoring organisations from the 2026 Inspiring Workplaces Awards. Entries were assessed across Asia, Australasia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East & Africa, North America and the UK & Ireland.
Organisations were required to demonstrate their workplace practices through evidence and measurable impact. The judging process focused on how businesses put their people first, making the recognition particularly relevant to companies seeking to strengthen employee engagement and workplace culture.
Nineteen Group’s inclusion reflects its approach to building a people-focused organisation alongside its expansion within the international exhibitions and media sector.
New Inspiring Place to Work Recognition Identity
The 2026 Global Top 100 also marks a significant development for Inspiring Workplaces Group. This year’s list is the first to be announced under the organisation’s new Inspiring Place to Work™ recognition identity.
As a result, Nineteen Group is among the first organisations globally to receive recognition under the new identity. The change reflects a broader emphasis on the complete workplace environment and the experiences organisations create for their people.
For Nineteen Group, being included in the inaugural Global Top 100 under the new recognition identity provides an additional milestone as the business continues to develop its international workforce.
International Growth Supports Nineteen Group’s Expansion
Nineteen Group operates across the events, exhibitions and media industries, with its activities extending beyond the UK. The company has continued to develop its international presence, including through its Hong Kong team.
The expansion of international operations has increased the importance of maintaining a consistent company culture across different markets. Recognition in the Global Top 100 highlights Nineteen Group’s efforts to support its teams while pursuing international growth.
The company has positioned growth, agility and ambition as central elements of its business strategy. Its workplace recognition comes at a time when event organisers and media companies are operating in an increasingly international and competitive environment.
Nineteen Group CEO Highlights Team Contribution
Peter Jones, Group CEO of Nineteen Group, welcomed the recognition and attributed the achievement to the contribution of the company’s employees.
Jones said the Top 100 recognition represents the hard work undertaken by Nineteen Group teams every day. He also highlighted the company’s ambition, drive and agility as it continues to expand internationally.
According to Jones, the company remains focused on its long-term vision of becoming one of the world’s leading show organisers and media businesses.
The comments underline the connection between Nineteen Group’s growth ambitions and its focus on its people. As the company expands across markets, maintaining an engaged and capable workforce remains an important part of its wider strategy.
Global Companies Included in the 2026 List
Nineteen Group appears alongside a range of recognised organisations from different industries in the 2026 Global Top 100. The list includes names such as Novo Nordisk, Tata Consultancy Services, Hitachi Energy, Flight Centre Travel Group, SurveyMonkey and Colliers.
The diversity of organisations included in the ranking demonstrates the broad range of industries participating in the Inspiring Workplaces Awards programme. Companies from healthcare, technology, energy, travel, professional services and other sectors are represented.
Nineteen Group’s presence alongside these international businesses provides recognition for an organisation operating specifically within the events, exhibitions and media sector.
Workplace Culture Becomes Increasingly Important for Events Businesses
The events and exhibitions industry depends heavily on people, from organisers and project teams to sales, marketing, operations, media and customer-facing professionals. As the sector continues to evolve, workplace culture and employee experience have become increasingly important areas of focus for businesses.
For companies such as Nineteen Group, international expansion can create additional workplace challenges. Teams operating across different locations need effective communication, strong leadership and a shared organisational vision.
The Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work recognition therefore provides an opportunity for Nineteen Group to demonstrate its approach to its employees while continuing to grow its events and media portfolio.
Nineteen Group Continues International Development
Nineteen Group’s inclusion in the 2026 Global Top 100 comes during a period of continued international development for the company. Its operations across the UK and international markets, including Hong Kong, form part of its broader growth strategy.
The company combines exhibitions, events and media activities, giving it a presence across multiple areas of the business events ecosystem. Its international expansion is supported by teams working across different markets and business functions.
The recognition from Inspiring Workplaces Group adds a workplace-focused dimension to the company’s growth story, highlighting the role of people and organisational culture alongside commercial expansion.
Recognition Adds Another Milestone for Nineteen Group
Being named among the 2026 Global Top 100 Inspiring Places to Work represents another milestone for Nineteen Group as it develops its international business.
The recognition was based on an independently judged process that assessed participating organisations on evidence and impact rather than simply company size or industry profile. This makes the achievement particularly relevant to Nineteen Group’s emphasis on its teams and workplace culture.
As the company continues to pursue its ambition of becoming a leading global show organiser and media business, maintaining a strong workplace environment will remain an important component of its development.
