2022 FtLion Year in Review
#FtLion received 1,584,372 pageviews in 2022!
With the cost-of-living crisis having been the defining factor this year, it goes without saying that 2022 has been a challenging year for the UK’s food and drinks industry.
While there’s been a countless number of businesses forced into closure, there have also been plenty of promising new concepts and openings too.
With 387 editorials published across our website this year, we hope that, in attracting over a 1.5 million pageviews (800k users), we’ve done our bit in helping promote the Halal sector.
Our TikTok channel played its part with over 800k views from 103 videos, while Youtube generated 390k views. Here’s to a brighter, healthier and safer 2023.
