Business Insider UK celebrates second anniversary

Julian Childs of Business Insider UK writes about the successes of the site as it celebrates its second anniversary.

Childs writes, “In just two years, we’ve become one of the most widely-read, viewed, and shared sources of business news in the UK, often taking the top slot in terms of monthly visitors (of which we currently have 6.5 million, as well as 50 million monthly page views and over 650,000 likes on our Business Insider UK Facebook page).

“We began with a small, crack team of writers and staff working closely alongside our US-based global product and tech teams. The launch started with a bang, with an exclusive story about how both houses of parliament are literally collapsing.

“We’ve come a long way since then. We now have over 40 staff in our London office. Besides our round-the-clock coverage of finance, tech, politics, and business news, we’ve dedicated more time and resources to original reporting from London.”
