In a breathtaking evening of glamour and achievement, THE FBA BRAND BUILDER hosted its first ever Exclusive Gala and Awards night at The Dunadry Hotel, setting a new standard for celebrating success in Northern Ireland’s business community.
With over 150 valued clients gathered under one roof, the event led by founder and CEO Darren Campbell, shone with hope, promise, and a vision of becoming the pinnacle of recognition in the UK & Ireland’s e-commerce world.

Today, Darren serves as an inspiration to so many across the entire country, proving that even in the face of adversity, that work ethic and resourcefulness can lead to changing your whole life around.

Each award was a testament to the hard work of the brand builders, showcasing their remarkable life changing achievements within THE FBA BRAND BUILDER community.
"We believe in celebrating not only the successes of our brands, but also the successes of those who have joined us on this journey," remarked Darren.
"Not many people believed in us at the very beginning, but now they have no choice. I got into this game to make a real and lasting difference, to change 1000s of lives across my entire country and beyond. All we needed was time."
Amongst the excitement, there was a sense of unity between the guests, connected by their goals and dreams for the future.
This reflected a statement valued by Darren Campbell who advocates that ‘if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, you have got to go together!’
Looking ahead, THE FBA BRAND BUILDER aims to continue growing, aspiring to become a leading platform for recognising excellence not only in Northern Ireland but across the UK and Ireland.
With a commitment to celebrating achievement and inspiring others, THE FBA BRAND BUILDER is set to make a significant impact in the years to come.
As the evening drew to a close, hearts were full, and spirits were high with the promise of what lies ahead.
The gala and awards evening may have come to an end, but its impact will be forever lasting.
It was a night of triumph, emotion, and the firm belief that anything is possible.
And as Darren and THE FBA BRAND BUILDER team always say...
