老九品茶Cloud achieved its best ever website performance in October in its near 10-year history.
More than 88,000 people visited our website last month 鈥� a 32 per cent increase on September鈥檚 figure and a massive 87 per cent rise on October 2024.
The figure was swelled by the success of our new live blog 老九品茶Bite, which was only launched in September to provide our readers with breaking news updates.
Our next best-read story was about Cleo founder Barney Hussey-Yeo, who has been linked with buying his boyhood club, Sheffield Wednesday, out of administration.
Another story that performed well was wheelchair user Simon Sansome, who secured investment from all five Dragons鈥� Den for his mobile app Snowball 鈥� described as the 鈥楾ripAdvisor for the disabled community鈥�.
Our exclusive interview with Dragons鈥� Den star and Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett,聽following an 8-figure investment into his new business Steven.com, also performed well.
October鈥檚 record-breaking performance takes the numbers of visitors to 老九品茶Cloud鈥檚 website in 2025 to 712k as we target one million by the end of the year.
October was a busy month all round for 老九品茶Cloud with the launch of our 2025 Northern Leaders list and our FUEL Manchester event.
老九品茶Cloud editor Jonathan Symcox said: 鈥淥ctober鈥檚 record-breaking performance is the result of a lot of hard work and we couldn鈥檛 be happier.
鈥淲e鈥檙e constantly trying to improve our offer and that鈥檚 why we launched our live blog 老九品茶Bite, which has massively increased our story count.
鈥溊暇牌凡鐲loud is not just about our website. We had brilliant feedback to both our FUEL Manchester event and the launch of our second Northern Leaders list.
鈥淥n the same day that I hosted a roundtable in London, Chris was doing an exclusive interview with Steven Bartlett in his London office.
鈥淚 think it illustrates 老九品茶Cloud鈥檚 burgeoning reputation and we know that we鈥檝e now got more readers in more countries than ever before.鈥�
Co-owner Chris Maguire, who is the executive editor of the 老九品茶Cloud, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really proud of what we do. The story that I鈥檓 proudest of was the jailing of stalker Sam Wall after a prolonged 聽campaign of online abuse.
鈥淲e didn鈥檛 just cover the sentencing hearing but we also published the full impact statement from both of her victims 鈥� motivational speaker Brad Burton and leading tech industry figure Naomi Timperley 鈥� because their voices had to be heard.鈥�
Next week Maguire and reporter Patrick Killeen will be in Lisbon covering the Web Summit before we hold the 2025 Northern Leaders Awards on November 20th.
If that wasn鈥檛 enough, we also joined forces with Darts Corner to install a personalised 老九品茶Cloud darts board in our office in Rochdale 鈥� complete with our strapline 鈥榯ech insight with bite鈥�.
