To close of the year with a bang, i thought it would fun to report on the growth of the Safex community during the month of December.

I’d be the first to admit this month has been a rollercoast of emotions for the Safex community. However, beyond all of the events, both positive and negative, the community is bigger and stronger than ever before.

The figures below show the incredible growth Safex has seen in the month of December.

In addition we’ve seen continuous growth and awareness of the Safex brand throughout 2017. This Google Trends chart shows a huge spike of interest beginning in November onwards.
