WARRINGTON-based Beech Web Services has become one of just over 2,500 UK organisations to achieve B Corporation certification, joining the global movement of businesses committed to social and environmental responsibility, as well as good governance.
Following a rigorous assessment process spanning several months, the digital marketing agency received official B Corp certification on 31st July 2025. The achievement recognises Beech’s commitment to operating ethically and sustainably while delivering successful digital marketing services to clients across the UK.
Founded in 2011 by Roz Healey, Beech has grown organically from a flexible work solution for a single parent into a thriving four-person agency. The company specialises in creating sustainable WordPress websites and promoting them through SEO, paid advertising, social media management, and email marketing.
The B Corp certification process required Beech to answer over 200 detailed questions about its operations, provide extensive documentary evidence, and achieve a score above 80 in the final assessment. The company also updated their articles of association to commit to operating for the benefit of the community and the planet, not just shareholders.
Roz Healey MSc, Director of Beech, commented: “We’d seen much larger companies achieving B Corp certification, and it felt like something we could only dream of. When our Development Manager, Sophy, asked, ‘Why don’t we do it?’, it was the catalyst we needed. Achieving this milestone without external consultants, just through our small team’s commitment and determination, makes us incredibly proud.”
The certification validates Beech’s existing approach to business, including its sustainable practices, long-term support for local charity Creating Adventures and partnership with the TEDxWarrington event. Its focus on building sustainable websites and operating ethically aligns perfectly with the values of B Corp.
For Beech clients, the B Corp certification provides clear evidence they’re working with a values-driven, stable, and well-managed agency. Research from B Lab shows that small and medium-sized UK B Corps in 2024 saw a 23.2% increase in turnover, compared to the national average of 16.8%.
Roz added: “I think B Corp certification is a fantastic way of signalling to others that we are serious about what we do and that we are not prepared to pursue profit at the expense of our community or the planet. This is just the next step for Beech in our journey towards operating as ethically and successfully as possible.”
Now officially B Corp certified, Beech is well-placed to connect with larger businesses and work on more substantial projects, particularly with organisations that share its sustainable values. The company continues to support local businesses and charities while maintaining its commitment to ethical digital marketing practices.
For organisations looking for a values-driven digital marketing partner, Beech Web Services offers comprehensive services from their Warrington base, supported by talented virtual workers and consultants across the UK.
