Complete One Reflect On A Successful Year




At Complete One we have been reflecting on the success we experienced over the last twelve months. The first half of 2012 we very much concentrated on laying the foundations. We began 2013 with one office in Newcastle then saw our business double in size with our expansion into Glasgow, Scotland this Summer with Karl Whittam overseeing our new project.  As our business began to expand so did our client portfolio simultaneously. We acquired a new client within the Finance sector which was a great coo as they have been voted the finance provider of the year for the past 4 years.


In October, Harley Woolf became our second success story of 2013 completing the Business Development Programme . Having Harley in a position to oversee his own project provided us with the opportunity to add to our ever growing client portfolio. In early November we acquired one of Europe's newest Online Film & Media companies. They are currently injecting millions of pounds into marketing their product and service to massively increase their brand awareness in the UK. Having previously completed a hugely successful marketing campaign for one of Europe's leaders in this sector, earlier in the year, Complete One were selected to run their sales campaign in the North East.


In statistical terms 2013 has been a tremendous year;


* We've doubled our business in size and saw a 300% growth in the number of people working with Complete One.


* 10,000 customers have been acquired for our clients


* Our turnover was £250,000


This year we travelled a lot, visiting Barcelona, Dublin, London and Waterford, setting up new networking partnerships and establishing new client relationships.



“Going into 2013 I couldn't have predicted the ups and downs that I would have experienced as a business owner. I feel that I am ending the year much more experienced and stronger. The last Financial Quarter saw tremendous growth for Complete One and I am excited to build on that growth in 2014.” ~ Managing Director Glen Lowes

Complete One Attend The International Sales Rally






This past weekend Managing Director Glen Lowes, along with business partners Harley Woolf, Sabina Sandstrom and Kirsty Pennal flew out to Barcelona to attend the International Sales Rally. The trip was extremely beneficial, providing our lucky competition winners, Kirsty and Sabina, with the opportunity to meet and hear from some of the most inspirational and successful people in our industry. We've now started making plans to visit Milan in the first quarter of next year based on the success of this trip.


While the main purpose was to attend the International Sales Rally we were able to visit some of the amazing sights that Barcelona has to offer on our down time, as pictured below.








Having the opportunity to network with some of our business partners abroad we have established links to bring a new client to our Newcastle office and we are due to start trading early next year. It's a really exciting time for everyone involved with Complete One as our client portfolio grows so does the opportunity for expansion.



“ Having the chance to attend the International Sales Rally further confirmed for me how amazing this business is and how it changes peoples lives. Getting to see some individuals picking up awards and hearing from some great speakers made a massive impact on me personally and I am extremely satisfied with our decision to run the competition which allowed Kirsty and Sabina to share the experience.” ~ Managing Director Glen Lowes

Complete One Applicants: No Degree? No Problem!





Following the recent announcement that 47% of Graduates are working in jobs not related to their Degree, At Complete One we looked at it from the point of view of individuals entering the job market with no Degree or experience. We believe that companies are losing out on extremely talented individuals because they are over looked for not having the required Degree or experience. Many businesses wont even consider applicants without a Degree, whereas at Complete One we aren't prejudice.


“I believe that there are a lot of extremely talented individuals working with Complete One who wouldn't have even been considered by other businesses.  In my experience, those individuals usually compensate for their lack of experience by bringing a great enthusiasm and passion which has seen many of them blossom into key players in our offices.” ~ Managing Director Glen Lowes



With the New Year right around the corner, a time where many are considering their options and are looking to change careers, we are excited to have the opportunity to find the next wave of talented individuals to help take our business forward and hit our expansion plans for 2014.
