Blueberry report 28% year-on-year growth

Leeds-based business development agency, Blueberry Marketing Solutions, has experienced a 28% year-on-year growth thanks to some major client wins.

The firm, which employs 21 members of staff, has nine years of almost year-on-year consecutive growth, and plans to further increase revenues by 12% at the end of this financial year.

The company provides a wide range of marketing and business development services for a mix of private and public sector clients, including gathering customer and marketing insight, specialist data management services, and lead generation and nurturing.

Staff retention is a key part of its business growth strategy, with the agency providing the highly regarded Chartered Institute of Marketing diplomas, which two staff members are currently undertaking.

Blueberry’s growth has also focused on harnessing its experience across markets and industries, ensuring growth will be sustainable and long term. Blueberry is developing its service set to provide clients with an integrated, end-to-end business development service.

Director, Faresh Maisuria, set up Blueberry in 2005 after spotting an opportunity to work with other likeminded individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset. He said:

I'm extremely proud of Blueberry's business success and fully expect us to reach our ambitious target of another 12% revenue increase by January 2015. Our growth strategy focusses on our expertise across a range of industries; ensuring growth will be sustainable long term and not vulnerable to external market changes. Consequently no one client accounts for more than 12% of our revenue, and our top ten customers account for less than 50% of total income. We're always looking to develop the talent of the future to ensure we continue to innovate. As a result our entire management team all started working here as graduates, and we work with local universities to provide employment opportunities to graduates

Getting the Most out of Your Members: Renewal

As working practices change, regulatory requirements evolve, and technology continues to drive innovation across sectors, many professional associations we work with are aware of their need to adapt to this fast-changing market landscape. Responding to all these changes while still maintaining value for members can be a challenge and, for many associations, maximising member value has become more pressing than ever.
