2025 Highlights: A Year of Innovation, Community and Achievement

December 29th 2025
As the year draws to a close, we’re wrapping up another magical season at Mansfield Innovation Centre. It’s been a year filled with moments worth celebrating and as we gather round for the last month of the year, we can’t help but smile at everything our community has achieved together.
Kicking things off we hosted six networking events that completely sold out — rooms full of chatter, laughter and opportunity, bringing people together discussing topics such as the importance of Mental Health, the best ways to use Digital Marketing in your business and even How to win Grant Funding.
We had two charity days in support of John Eastwood—collecting donations at the Centre over Easter and fundraising at a Mansfield Town Football game which added an extra sprinkle of kindness to the year. Reminding us that giving back is one of the best gifts of all. We were also delighted to step out in style for an awards dinner, proudly representing two of our customers, who won a ‘Rising Star Award’ and ‘New Business’ award.
One of our brightest highlights was the opening of our onsite nursery, Teddy Day Care! Bringing new beginnings, little footsteps and big smiles to our community —And speaking of celebrations, this year brought a trio of special milestones: our amazing Centre Manager’s 10-year anniversary and two milestone birthdays within the team.  Each occasion brought its own sparkle, bringing the Centre together to celebrate achievements and providing the perfect excuse for prosecco and cake.
We were thrilled to welcome six new businesses to the Centre this year, each bringing fresh energy and innovative ideas. With every new addition, our community becomes stronger, more dynamic and better equipped to support the growth and success of all our tenants.
So as we tie the ribbon on an unforgettable year, we want to thank everyone who has shared the journey with us. From the everyday wins to the big celebrations, you’ve helped make 2025 a season worth remembering. Here’s to a joyful Christmas, a restful break and   New Year filled with growth, creativity and plenty more reasons to celebrate at Mansfield Innovation Centre.
