The Fellowship team are thrilled to be shortlisted for Digital Agency of the Year at the UK 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

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.

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.

Vapourtec: Website Redesign and Rebuild

Vapourtec is the world’s leading manufacturer of laboratory-scale flow chemistry instruments, trusted by researchers and pharmaceutical companies in over 23 countries. They commissioned Fellowship to redesign their WordPress website to align with their new branding

Our Solution:

• Redesigned and rebuilt the frontend to reflect the subtle rebrand while maintaining the underlying website architecture.
• Retained the strong technical performance of the original website.

We created a bespoke WordPress theme with an emphasis on enhancing navigation and the user journey, particularly for flow chemistry products and applications. We also developed a custom reporting plugin to monitor performance and leads.

This has resulted in:

• 63% increase in resource centre signups.
• 35% increase in monthly sales.
• 8% increase in monthly website enquiries.

What This Recognition Means to Us

Being shortlisted for Digital Agency of the Year at the UK 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 is a huge honour for our team. We’ve acquired considerable expertise in developing WordPress Multisites and bespoke web applications. We’re grateful to our clients for trusting us with their projects and to the UK Business Tech Awards for recognising our work.”

Looking Ahead
