It's been another amazing year for our team and it really reflects in our stats.
As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect, a valuable exercise that helps you evaluate performance, align with goals, and plan strategically for the months ahead.
It’s also an opportunity to celebrate successes, acknowledge achievements, and learn from challenges. Who doesn’t love a reason to celebrate, especially during the festive season?
At this time of year, we make it a point to dive into our own business performance, crunching the numbers and gaining insights that guide us into the new year with clarity and purpose.

What else happened in 2024?
This was a huge year for us. We became certified as a B Corp, showcasing our ongoing commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. This is a huge achievement and something we’ve worked incredibly hard to do,
We’ve partnered with several fantastic organisations, have been avid networkers (and netwalkers!), delivered roundtables, workshops and talks. Our services have become more streamlined, our brilliant team has continued to grow and we’ve continued working with amazing individuals and growing businesses.
On top of that, we’ve been busy behind the scenes, developing products we’re truly excited about. These innovations are designed to make an even bigger difference for the businesses we support, and we can’t wait to see them in action in the coming year.
Finally, we took time to focus on our own growth and culture, investing in away days, strategy sessions, and refining our internal processes. From learning together to simply enjoying each other’s company, these moments have strengthened our team in ways that are hard to quantify but impossible to overlook.
Every member of the Blu Sky team has shown incredible enthusiasm, determination, and resilience, going above and beyond to make this year exceptional.
That’s a wrap!
