Sadly, the Covid-19 global pandemic is still with us, but there is hope on the horizon. Although here in the UK we’ve just emerged from our second national lockdown, cases are reducing and we look forward to 2021 with hope and optimism...
Here at Fluid, we’ve not been resting on our laurels this year by any means.
Our teams have had to react rapidly to ever changing business landscapes, working from home restrictions, changes in client requirements and trends in merchandise.
One of the best things that has happened to Fluid is the strengthening of the bonds between our teams and offices. It has been incredible to see everyone collaborating to solve problems, finding solutions, working hard and really supporting each other. When faced with a huge crisis like we have all seen this year, our entire Fluid family embraced the challenge and pushed each other to overcome what seemed at the time to be an almost impossible task; only to come out the other side in an even stronger position.
We’ve moved to larger offices in Cornwall, London, and Plymouth to support our continued growth. The London team moved into brand new offices in November, still in Camden but now at Hawley Wharf with canal side views. A perfect place for creative thinking and client meetings. The Plymouth team also relocated in October 2019 to Faraday Mill Business Park, this central location is the perfect space for a growing team.
We’re delighted to be awarded the highest level of service award by Feefo for the fifth year in a row! After winning the Gold Trusted award for 4 years in a row, we’ve been awarded the Platinum Trusted award. An independent seal of approval that recognises businesses delivering exceptional experiences that are rated by real customers. Reviews collected by Feefo are verified as being from genuine customers, so the award is a true reflection of Fluid’s commitment to outstanding service.
In the current global crisis, Key Workers have stepped up like they’ve never had to before. The dedication and bravery of NHS workers across the United Kingdom is nothing short of amazing, and we owe each and every one of them a debt of gratitude. That’s why we’ve taken steps to help where we can…
Just over a year ago, Fluid became a Certified B Corporation. We’re incredibly proud to be the first within our industry to fly the B Corp flag - we’ve become a part of an incredible group of worldwide brands who use the power of business as a force for good…but we haven’t stopped there. Since then, we’ve worked to make things even better. So much so that in our last review, our score has actually improved by 10%!
