2025 has flown by, and that can only mean one thing… it's time for another Year in Numbers.

Before we step away from our screens and enjoy the festive season, we’re taking some time to reflect on the year behind us. Not just the big picture wins, but all the steps taken along the way to get us where we are today.

If you’ve got a bit of time before Christmas, we’d always encourage you to do the same with your own team. Ending the year aligned is one of the best ways to head into 2026 feeling positive and prepared. It’s also a good chance to celebrate making it through another busy year!

Of course, these numbers wouldn’t mean anything without our team, clients, partners and wider network – so a huge thank you to everyone we worked with this year. Now, let’s dive into our 2025 round up.

Here are our 2025 highlights:

What else happened in 2025?

We’re often the first to tell our clients that not every win shows up in the numbers, and the same goes for us.

This year, our focus was on taking everything we do one step further. It wasn’t always loud or flashy, but it was intentional. We’ve made meaningful progress across our services, the way we show up for clients, and how we support our local community.

2025 also proved that ESG doesn’t just live in strategy documents. We increased our volunteering efforts with brilliant organisations like YMCA North Tyneside, expanded our ESG support for clients, and became a founding sponsor of the W Club. It was also our first year as a certified B Corp, and a big milestone for us as we shared our first ever B Impact Report.

Our podcast, Two Pints of Lager and a Spreadsheet, returned with a bang. It’s always been a passion project, and this year we loved sitting down with so many inspiring founders and leaders from across the North East. We’re excited to see where it goes next in 2026.

We’ve also been out and about more than ever. Networking, netwalking, roundtables, speaking gigs and plenty of great conversations along the way. If we crossed paths this year, thank you for taking the time to chat with us.

Through it all, the Blu Sky team has been the glue holding everything together. From big strategic conversations to small everyday wins, their energy, commitment and care make all the difference. We’re incredibly proud of them.

That’s a wrap!

Thank you again to everyone who’s been part of our 2025. We’re signing off to enjoy the festive break, recharge, and come back ready for what’s next.

Have a brilliant Christmas, and we’ll see you in the New Year!
