The lights are twinkling, emails are slowing (slightly), and we’re finally pressing pause to reflect on a whirlwind 2025. From conference stages to construction sites, from live broadcasts to heartfelt storytelling, this year has kept us busy and inspired.

12 months of milestones, creative challenges, and moments that remind us why we love what we do: telling stories that matter, capturing progress in real time, and working alongside clients who push us to bring our best.

(Here’s Richard loving life on a drone shoot to prove it!)

Highlights from the Year

Hinkley Point C

This year, Hinkley Point C gave us endless moments to capture. Each visit to this extensive project site revealed another level of its ambitious scope. We documented another awe-inspiring dome lift and the first steam generator installation. The Project Rally live broadcast was a highlight, and our night shoots for an end of year review added drama and captured the site’s relentless activity. Every snapshot deepened our understanding and respect for this monumental undertaking.

BDO

BDO kept our team on our feet. We produced three editions of the live internal broadcast “BDO Clock News,” crafted training films, and coached presenters. Conference coverage and strategy animations were part of the package too. A festive Secret Santa challenge with senior leaders wrapped up the year. Each project was fast-paced and creative, keeping us on our toes. But as ever, with BDO, collaboration made every challenge enjoyable.

Durham University

Working with Durham University remains a joy and an education!. This year, we celebrated the launch of the MA in International Relations of East Asia. Another highlight was the innovative hydrogen heating project at Darlington Hospital. And Alumni donation stories showcased their impact on students and research. These projects not only inspire but also leave us a bit cleverer with each visit!

The Christie Charity, Manchester

One of our most powerful projects was with The Christie Charity. We crafted this film showing how every donation helps patient care, research, and support services beyond the NHS offerings. Our film’s poem illustrated how even a single pound can guide, bring joy, or fund breakthroughs. This project underscored the impact of storytelling, revealing the power of giving to transform lives.

Thirteen Housing Group & Cripps Law

We highlighted the heroes behind the scenes. For Thirteen Housing Group, an awards film showcased how every team member – from receptionist to community representative contributes to their mission.

And at Cripps Law, we presented a polished live AGM broadcast, enhancing clarity and connection for remote audiences.

Reflections on 2025

2025 brought a whirlwind of variety and creativity. From boardrooms to building sites, and live streams to life stories, each project demanded new thinking and creativity. The blend of challenges and victories pushed us to ensure every story resonated.

We’ve embraced new skills and explored how emerging tech might steer our future work. And, let’s not forget welcoming Archie, our newest team member, who has already made our days brighter!

Looking Ahead

As the year closes, our gratitude for the trust and ambition of our clients and partners knows no bounds. Here’s to a festive break and a 2026 brimming with more stories and exciting challenges.

If you have a project in mind or just want to chat, we’re all ears. The new year looks full of promise!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of Team Dependable!🎄🎅🎁
