The Finish Line Wins Gold for Best Places to Work in TV for the Fourth Year Running
London, UK, January 2026 – The Finish Line has been named Gold Winner in the non-indie category of Broadcast Magazine’s Best Places to Work in TV for the fourth year in a row, an achievement the company says feels like an incredibly special way to begin 2026.
“Honestly, we can’t quite believe it,” says founder Zeb Chadfield. “To be recognised with Gold for a fourth year running is hugely meaningful. We’re so grateful to our team, and for the way they support each other every day.”
Founded in 2011, The Finish Line was built around a simple but ambitious idea, that post-production should be a place where people can do their best work without burning out. For over 14 years, the company has focused on creating a safe, supportive environment where people aren’t treated like cogs in a machine, but as skilled creatives whose wellbeing directly affects the quality of what they deliver.
“It’s never felt more important to keep pushing for the best workplace we can,” Chadfield adds. “It’s one thing to deliver great work, but it’s another to do it with a smile.”
The award follows Chadfield’s recent acquisition of full ownership of The Finish Line, marking a new chapter for the company as it moves into 2026 with a continued focus on long-term stability, people-first decision making and sustainable growth.
The Broadcast Best Places to Work awards are based on detailed staff feedback, making the recognition particularly meaningful to the team, especially during a challenging period for the wider industry.
“A big cheers to everyone who made the list this year, and to everyone doing their best to create healthier places to work,” says Chadfield. “It’s not easy, but it’s the only way to build a sustainable industry where people don’t have to give up their lives outside of work to do what they love at work.”
The Finish Line provides high-end post-production services across film and television, working with production companies and post facilities throughout the UK. While the company continues to invest in technology and workflows, its greatest asset remains its people.
As The Finish Line looks ahead, the mission stays the same, delivering world-class post-production while taking care of the people who make it possible.
