The Growth Begins







Due to the incredible success we experienced in the first 6 months of the year , exceeding company and client expectations, we have seen our flagship office in Newcastle grow as well as our client portfolio expand.  We've recently acquired one of the UK's largest Tele-communications providers. Having just branched into the Digital TV market they want Complete One to help increase their market share in the North East. The growth we have undergone and the industry giants we are working with is the reason we have been able to take the exciting steps of expanding our business into Scotland. We will be launching our new office, in Glasgow, within the next week. We chose to open in Glasgow for 2 reasons: 1) It is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest in the UK, therefore it provides great opportunity for recruitment 2) The volume of people make it a great city for customer acquisition as well as exposing our clients products and services to a large audience, in turn massively raising brand awareness.  It's a huge accomplishment for everyone involved with Complete One and something we have worked towards for the last 6 months. In Glasgow we will be expanding our business into Events Based marketing campaigns. Specialising in Events/In-store promotions on behalf of our client. No matter the city or the client, our business model is easily adaptable to any place or product and that is why our form of sales and marketing is highly desirable and one of the reasons why more and more companies are turning to outsourcing the promotion and sales of their product.


Expanding into Glasgow sets the wheels in motion for our expansion plans for the rest of the year. Within the next 6 months the goal is to double our organisation in size. To double the size of a company in 6 months within the current economic climate may seem unrealistic to some, however because of the incredible people we work with and the amazing client portfolio we have the potential for personal and professional growth are limitless.

Why Outsourcing Is Good For Your Business




With the U.K. economy going from bad to worse, recently entering into a triple dip recession, many large corporations are looking for ways to slash their budgets while maintaining high levels of productivity. Most companies are now understandably cautious about spending large sums on traditional media and print methods of advertising and are therefore turning to companies like Complete One to conduct the sales & marketing of their products through tried and tested, cost effective methods. Outsourcing in laymen’s terms basically means handing over the reigns to a firm specialising in marketing & sales rather than keeping the project in house.

In business terms outsourcing is described as the contracting out of an internal business process to a third party organization. The practice of contracting out a business process rather than staffing it internally is a common feature in the modern economy. Often the tasks that are outsourced could be performed by the company itself, but in many cases there are financial advantages that come from outsourcing. Outsourcing can offer greater budget flexibility and control. Outsourcing lets organizations pay for only the services they need, when they need them. It also reduces the need to hire and train specialized staff, brings in fresh engineering expertise, and reduces capital and operating expenses.

We can break down outsourcing strategies into three broad categories that meet different goals:
  • Efficiency – the first step in an outsourcing strategy is to achieve cost savings, typically through process efficiencies.
  • Enhancement – once cost savings have been realized the next stage is to achieve operational improvements related to business objectives such compliance and meeting availability expectations
  • Transformation – business transformation is the end goal for an outsourcing strategy, where an outsourcing relationship is used to drive business performance improvements

With the economy continuing into a downward spiral, with no signs of coming out of recession any time soon we expect the number of companies turning to outsourcing to rise. It's no coincidence that Direct Sales has been the fastest growing industry in the world for the last 3 years. It's a recession proof industry that's going from strength to strength and here at Complete One we're excited to be a part of that. Our personalised approach and tailor made marketing strategies have made our business model highly attractive for many blue chip corporations which is why we have an ever growing client portfolio.

Our goal is to quadrupole the size of our organisation in 2013 by expanding into Carlisle, Glasgow and Middlesbrough. Over the Summer months our sole focus is to triple the size of our Flagship office in Newcastle to ensure it's in a strong position before expanding throughout the U.K. as we will be bringing some of our existing team members with us to help launch our new offices. Summer, which is traditionally the busiest time for recruitment, is the perfect time to put the wheels into motion for our expansion plans. Summer is unique as there are several types of people applying for jobs.  It's the time of the year where Students are looking to gain some experience and have fun for 3 months and also where Graduates are looking to integrate themselves into the Business world.  There are also individuals looking for a career change and at Complete One our business model allows us to be able to accommodate everyone. In 3 short months, between college/university breaking up for the Summer, we are able to provide individuals with key skills for business success that would usually take 5 years to have the chance to learn in other organisations. For Graduates just starting out, it can be a daunting prospect applying for jobs in the current economic climate where there aren't a lot of opportunities for Graduates.

At Complete One our Business Development Programme is a perfect fit for Graduates looking to put the skills they learned studying into practice. At Complete One we don't ask for specific qualifications or years experience within our industry.  It's no coincidence that Direct Sales has been the fastest growing industry in the world for the last 3 years, it's recession proof and can offer tremendous opportunities for individuals serious about their career.  

In order to continue our success we need to find and nurture the next wave of talented individuals who can help take our business forward” ~ Managing Director at Complete One, Glen Lowes.
