I’ve had a moment this week to pause (just a quick one!) to appreciate just how far we’ve come at FN Research. And I’m absolutely delighted to share this bit of exciting news: we’ve been shortlisted in two categories at the 2025 Bangor Business Awards… Professional Services and Wellbeing in the Workplace!

When I founded FN Research, it was about more than just delivering great market research. It was about creating a business rooted in values: to be genuinely easy to work with, to bring clarity to our clients, and to ensure our team enjoys the journey. So, to see that recognised on this stage feels wonderful.

This shortlist is a tribute to the incredible work our team does every day, and to the amazing clients who trust us with their projects. From global brands to local champions, from strategy planning to community research – we’ve had another fantastic year of growth, variety, and learning.

A massive thank you to Lisa for being a fantastic colleague and friend in all this, to every client who gives us a chance, and to our team who bring energy, expertise and kindness into everything we do.

Wishing good luck to all the other finalists (you’re all brilliant) and can’t wait to see what the awards night brings!
