The Fellowship team are thrilled to be shortlisted for Best Digital Agency at the Global Business Tech Awards. It’s a testament to our hard work, expertise, and commitment to delivering innovative, high-performing WordPress solutions for ambitious businesses.

Who We Are

At Fellowship, we specialise in designing and developing bespoke WordPress websites, with a particular focus on WordPress Multisite and WooCommerce sites. Our work is rooted in strategic thinking, technical expertise, and creative excellence, ensuring our clients’ digital presence not only looks great but also drives tangible business results.

With a team of 16 experts, including six full time in-house developers, we offer long-term security, guaranteed expert advice, and ongoing support for every website we build. Our client retention rate of 95% over the last five years speaks volumes about our dedication to outstanding service and collaboration.

The Work That Got Us Shortlisted

Our award submission showcased some of our most technically and strategically complex projects, demonstrating our ability to solve major challenges for larger businesses.

Xplor Technologies: A Global WordPress Multisite

Xplor, a global SaaS platform with embedded payments, needed a scalable, centralised website solution to replace its 26 independently managed websites.

Our solution:

  • Designed and built a unified WordPress Multisite, consolidating 20 of their core websites, with more to be added.
  • Implemented a custom page builder, enabling their team to easily create and manage content across different regions while maintaining brand consistency.
  • Ensured a seamless transition without compromising SEO and lead generation.

This project has reduced hosting and development costs, significantly improved user experience, and made content management faster and more efficient.

Gratnells: A WooCommerce Multisite Transformation

Gratnells, a global manufacturer of educational and medical storage solutions, approached us with a fragmented online presence across multiple poorly performing websites, including an outdated Magento E-commerce site.

Our solution:

  • Conducted a strategic audit to consolidate and streamline their online presence.
  • Developed a bespoke WooCommerce Multisite with a 3D product configurator, enhancing the customer buying experience.
  • Migrated and restructured 2,600 products from multiple platforms into one scalable, future-proof system.

The result? A more efficient, cost-effective and highly flexible E-commerce solution that’s easier to manage, ensuring a consistent brand experience across multiple sites.


SaveMoneyCutCarbon: The EcoWise Platform

We built a bespoke online learning platform for SaveMoneyCutCarbon’s EcoWise programme, which helps businesses and employees reduce their carbon footprint.

Our solution:

  • Developed a user-friendly digital platform, integrated with SMCC’s website and mobile app, making sustainability actions easy to track and reward.
  • Designed an interactive dashboard to help businesses enhance their ESG reporting.
  • Created an intuitive onboarding experience to drive employee engagement.

EcoWise is now a flagship sustainability tool, empowering businesses to meet their carbon reduction goals.

What This Recognition Means to Us

Being shortlisted for Best Digital Agency at the Global Business Tech Awards is a major milestone for Fellowship. It reinforces our belief in:
 ✅ Building websites that last – Many of our websites continue to perform for eight years or more.
 ✅ Providing unmatched expertise – Our in-house development team ensures every project is built for scalability and future growth.
 ✅ A consultative, strategic approach – We work closely with clients to define their digital strategy before writing a single line of code.

Darren Hickey, Founder and Managing Director of Fellowship, shared his thoughts on this recognition:

“This shortlisting is a huge honour for our team. We’ve worked incredibly hard to develop our expertise in WordPress Multisite and complex WooCommerce builds, helping businesses with multiple sites streamline their digital presence. We’re grateful to our clients for trusting us with their projects and to the Global Business Tech Awards for recognising our work.”

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, our goal is to establish Fellowship as the go-to agency for businesses managing multiple websites. We have ambitious targets, including:

  • Expanding our international client base, particularly in the US market.
  • Achieving £1.5m turnover with 15% net profit by 2026.

This shortlisting fuels our determination to keep pushing boundaries and delivering best-in-class digital solutions.
