BusinessCloud has continued where it left off last year with a record-breaking start to 2026.

A total of 66,800 people visited our website in January – up nearly 25 per cent on the same month last year.

It builds on a record-breaking 2025 for BusinessCloud, which saw a 71 per cent increase in website visitors to 818,000.

January also saw BusinessCloud join forces with the UK’s largest community of board advisors to hold a series of exclusive UK-wide masterclass business events in 2026.

VirtualNonExecs is the UK’s largest community of board advisors, giving corporate partners unparalleled access to the boardrooms of over 50,000 SMEs and the first event will take place in Leeds on February 25th.

January also saw reporter Patrick Killeen depart BusinessCloud after 14 months for pastures new.

Symcox is the joint owner of Rochdale-based BusinessCloud alongside executive editor Chris Maguire. They were joined last year by executive chairman Frazer Durris.
