Complete One extend market reach into Glasgow

Newcastle-based events promotions firm, Complete One have extended their market reach into the largest city in Scotland.

Speaking about the new project, Managing Director Glen Lowes revealed the excitement amongst the firm’s contractors. “Any venture into a new market is always met with great excitement and anticipation. We recognise that with growth comes opportunity,” said Mr. Lowes. 

The new project in Glasgow sees the firm now possess market reach in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Sheffield. Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland and the third biggest in the United Kingdom, coming after London and Birmingham. The Greater Glasgow area has a population of 1,199,629 according to the 2001 census. On population alone, Glasgow is a great city for talent acquisition. Crucially there are also a tremendous number of high footfall events and venues in and around the city, which is a coup for the firm operating exclusively events marketing campaigns. 

At Complete One they attribute much of their success to having a culture of development. Managing Director Glen Lowes is passionate about developing others. At Complete One they believe that the key to their continued success is the unrivaled development opportunities they offer to their contractors, something they are able to do by having a meritocratic approach to business growth. The event marketing specialists do not pre-judge applicants based on education or experience, but rather take into account work ethic, student mentality and personal and professional development. 

Through the firm’s business development opportunities they have a proven success of developing young professionals into successful businessmen and women. Complete One argues that it is their commitment to education that reaps rewards. By offering on-going advice and guidance through optional workshops, seminars and conferences, Complete One provides the opportunity for their contractors to expand their skill set and acquire knowledge to set them up for future success. 

This latest growth spurt puts the firm one step closer to their goals for 2016 as they push to break the £1million turnover barrier. Managing Director Glen Lowes is confident that 2016 will be the firm’s most successful year yet. “We have a client portfolio containing many of the UK’s industry leaders and a group of contractors that are some of the most ambitious and talented that I have ever worked with,” said Mr. Lowes.

Potential new client on the horizon for Complete One

Newcastle-based events promotions firm, Complete One, released a statement this week, confirming the rumours that they will be testing a new client in the forthcoming weeks. 

Planning is already underway at Complete One to ensure that the test is effective, and has the desired results. If successful, it will be a chance for the customer acquisition specialists to venture into a whole new sector, seeing them branch out into the finance market. This will be great experience for the firm, allowing them to expand their skill-set. “There is a lot of planning and preparation that goes into a launch, it takes weeks of research and development before the first customer is spoken to. We want to do everything within our power to make sure that we hit the ground running and meet the projections, to ensure we are able to take on the campaign permanently,” said Glen Lowes, Managing Director at Complete One. 

Since their launch in 2012, Complete One have experienced tremendous success, seeing them extend their market reach into Glasgow, Edinburgh and Sheffield, as well as adding some of the best known brands in the UK to their client portfolio. They have also been among the award winners every year at the industry’s annual awards gala, which highlights the incredible consistency they have shown. They are a young company with massive goals. This year they want to expand into new markets as well as break the £1million turnover barrier, something that they were so close to doing in 2015. 

“The potential we have with this new client is huge! It’s always a really exciting time when there is a new campaign on the horizon. It reinforces the competitive spirit we have at Complete One, and it really pushes everyone to do better and be at the top of their game.”

Rumors surface of potential Complete One expansion into Leeds

Following a business trip to Leeds where the firm conducted market research, rumors have now surfaced that Leeds will the city where the firm opens their fifth office. 

Complete One was launched in Newcastle back in 2012 by Managing Director Glen Lowes.  They identified a gap in the market for more personalised and interactive marketing solutions.  The firm spent the first 18 months building strong foundations and laid some solid groundwork that acted as a springboard for the firm to begin blazing a trail through the direct marketing industry in 2014.    In Summer 2014 the firm expanded into Scotland, opening an office in the capital city, Edinburgh, a second Scottish office soon followed when 6 months later they opened an office in Scotland’s biggest city, Glasgow.  In July this year the firm opened their fourth office when they expanded into Sheffield.  The customer acquisition specialists are well on their way to establishing themselves as a dominant force in the direct marketing industry and they have plans to keep expanding following a recent business trip to Leeds. 

Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes had marked Leeds as a potential location for the firm back in 2014, however that didn’t come into fruition with the firm focusing their efforts on the Scottish market, however following a recent business trip to the city, rumors have again surfaced that Complete One could be expanding their presence in Yorkshire, opening an office in Leeds, which would be their fifth in 3 years.

Looking ahead to 2016 Complete One want to expand further throughout the UK, but their main focus will be on breaking into the European market.  This has been a long-term goal for MD Glen Lowes and 2016 is the year they plan to make it happen.   “We have been making some incredible head-way in the UK and I believe breaking into the European market will mean the possibility of expanding and diversifying our client portfolio which is very exciting.” said Managing Director at Complete One Glen Lowes.

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.
