Mike Roberts Making Digital Real, a private podcast specialist we'd connected with, was doing a talk on LinkedIn. He invited us along. We showed up, not really knowing what to expect, and within about five minutes of being in the room we knew we were somewhere we wanted to be.

Darren and the team made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Not in a networking-event-handshake kind of way. In a real, warm, this-community-actually-means-something kind of way.

The FSB has been supporting small businesses for 50 years. It's a non-profit, led by its members, for its members. And that ethos, community over commerce, people helping people, is exactly why joining felt like a natural fit for Five Six.

We've always believed that how you do business matters as much as what you do. We use local suppliers. We work with local freelancers. We shout about the people around us because we genuinely think that's how it should work. The FSB exists to help smaller businesses achieve their ambitions, and those ambitions, ours included, are built on the same foundations. Showing up. Supporting each other. Growing together.

We're proud and honoured to be part of it.

If you're a small business owner and you've been on the fence about joining, our advice is simple. Go to one of the events first. See how it feels. We think you'll know pretty quickly.

We did.
