Complete One's Latest Success Story: Harley Woolf






I grew up in a small town on the outskirts of Leeds. From a young age I had a business mind and always dreamed of being my own boss. I put my business acumen into action while at school when I set up a tuck shop hoping this would put me on track to make my millions. Unfortunately the tuck shop didn't set me up to be the next Richard Branson. Turning towards a more realistic career prospect, at the age of 16 I decided to take a job in retail in the hope of progressing through the company and work my way up the corporate ladder.


After a year and a half of working in a retail environment, having not been provided with any progression opportunities I decided that my career wasn't moving as quickly as I would have liked and so I decided to move up North, eventually settling in Newcastle. I started working with Complete One in September 2012. I quickly realised that this was the perfect company to help me achieve my big goals. People were given the opportunity to develop based on individual effort and merit rather than length of service.  Just over a year later, In October 2013, I completed the 4 stage Business Development Programme.  Looking back, I realise how far I have come in such a short time especially given the fact that I had little experience within Marketing or Sales.  I was able to transfer the skills I had acquired when working in retail and at just 20 years old I had managed, with an incredible work ethic and student mentality, to be in a position to oversee my own project.


My goal for 2013 is to head up my own campaign in Newcastle, gaining experience in Campaign Management. In the future I would like to expand into America. I have big goals and I am confident that I will achieve them thanks to the incredible group of people I work with at Complete One.

Growth at Complete One



Since our expansion into Glasgow only 10 weeks ago, we have tripled in size. We have surpassed initial expectations, acquiring over 1000 new customers for our client within the financial services sector. With Christmas right around the corner, it is expected to be our busiest time of the year. We can't grow quick enough! We want to grow our office in Glasgow and our goal is to expand our financial services division into 4 more locations throughout the UK in 2014.

How well we've been performing as a company both in Glasgow and Newcastle was recognised by Managing Director Glen Lowes being asked to be a guest speaker at the National Sales conference that was held in Glasgow last month, as pictured below.







Our Managing Director, Glen Lowes, had the opportunity to impart some of his knowledge onto individuals keen to hear his success story.  

Coming to the end of 2013 we want to ensure the last Financial Quarter of the year is our most successful one.  One of the rising starts in our Newcastle office, Harley Woolf, is currently in the second week of his push to hit his targets in order to complete our Business Development Programme.  Having hit his goals in the first week, setting a new individual and crew record,   We are confident Harley will hit the target again this week.  Watch this space!
