2025 Round Up

“2025 has shown us how quickly things can change, and how powerful a team can be when it adapts with purpose.

The team at Oakstone has embraced this shift, and we’ve seen exceptional individual and collective performances this year, with particular credit to Tris, Steve, Arran and Ben for setting an outstanding standard. Your commitment to excellence continues to shape what Oakstone stands for.

We’ve had some navigating to do this year, but it ultimately prompted a meaningful evolution in our culture. The clarity, cohesion and renewed energy have been instrumental in shaping our increased success throughout the year. Sometimes what feels like a setback is really a turning point.

To our partners, thank you for continuing to trust us to represent you and your businesses. Collaborating with companies who are redefining what’s possible in SaaS is a privilege.

And to the Oakstone team, thank you for your resilience, professionalism, and belief in our mission. This year has proven, once again, that when we stay true to our values, the results follow.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful festive break and an exciting year ahead.”

- Paul Rayner, Oakstone International CEO
