2024 has been a truly incredible year for us and many other Lancashire businesses and we wanted to take a minute to reflect.
January
The year started off strong as we were named finalists in the amazing Red Rose Awards for the Digital Award category. We had such a great time celebrating with the other fantastic Lancashire businesses.
Tom also visited The Hollins School in Accrington to chat with the year 10 students about being an entrepreneur and the journey of Complete.
February
February 2024 saw Complete turn 15! Over the years, we’ve supported so many incredible businesses across a wide range of sectors. We’ve built over 500 websites and worked on hundreds of digital marketing campaigns. Thank you to all of our valued clients for your support over the last 15 years.
Tom also attended the Lancashire & Cumbria Institute of Technology’s roundtable event, which was very insightful.
March
In March, we held our own charity ball event, which saw us raise over £8,000 for our chosen charities. We decided to support Lancashire Mind and Streetlife Blackpool, two very important charities that work hard to support the local community with mental health and homelessness. The event was a huge success, and we’re grateful to everyone who attended.
April
Our team has grown significantly in recent years, so it was about time we relocated to a bigger office. We absolutely love our new space!
Tom also joined the Lancashire & Cumbria IoT Employer Advisory Group, helping to shape the next generation of talent.
May
In May, we were announced as BIBAs finalists for Digital & Marketing Business of the Year and Micro Business. This was such a huge achievement that we are all very proud of.
June
We introduced our sister company, Complete Leads! Our new CRM software has been designed to help business owners manage all aspects of their business more easily. So, if you’re fed up with missing out on leads and leaving money on the table, then you should find out more.
Our courageous team took on the Walk the Big One challenge at the Pleasure Beach. We’re so proud of them all for completing this epic challenge!
We also attended our first-ever Freshies Awards event, which was a huge success! We were nominated for a range of categories and made it to the final for ‘Best Boss’.
July
We took on the famous Tough Mudder event at Skipton Castle and we had a blast! We worked together to help each other around the 15-mile course! All of the money we raised was donated to the amazing Lancashire Mind.
We also held our first-ever sponsored golf day for the Annual Captains’ Charity Day. The event raised money for Pancreatic Cancer and JDRF.
Tom joined the Board of Trustees for the LET Education Trust, comprising four schools in Lancashire.
August
We celebrated our first anniversary of supporting Ecologi, a reforestation company that helps countries all over the world. To date, we have planted 250 trees and supported nine projects.
In August, Tom attended another roundtable event covering tech and AI – hosted by Lancashire Business View.
September
WINNERS! In September, we attended the BIBAs event, where we were crowned the winners of Digital & Marketing Business of the Year. This was a huge achievement for our team and has opened the door to many more opportunities.
October
Community & Business Partners invited Tom to hold an insightful SEO workshop. The attendees gave great feedback, and we’re looking forward to holding more events in the future.
November
In November, we participated in the Mental Elf Run organised by Lancashire Mind. We were also proud sponsors of the route. We really enjoyed the run, and it was for a great cause.
December
In December, we’re proud to have brought in three new digital partnerships to start 2025 the right way!
We have also made it through to the voting round again for The Freshies 2025! You can vote for us in the following categories:
- Marketing Magnifico
- Brilliant Boss
- Best Business
What a year we’ve had, and this is just a small part! We wonder what’s in store for 2025!
We want to say a huge thank you to our amazing team and valued clients. Your support has meant a lot to us over the last year.
