Christmas and New Year Message from ONE’s Managing Director
Posted: 20 December 2021
“2021 has once again been a very busy year for ONE and we are fortunate to have once again worked with some fantastic clients on some really exciting projects. After 45 years in the business, we started the year with a fresh new look via a brand refresh and the last 12 months have flown by with many highlights.
As the company continues to grow we are, however, very mindful that there are many people experiencing difficulties which are heightened during COVID-19 and at Christmas. While we support charities across the year, this festive season we chose six charities that will make a real difference to people at this time of year. It was an absolute privilege for the Directors to meet some of the people working at these amazing causes when we delivered the toys to the Salvation Army and the food supplies to the Food Bank earlier this month where the team also volunteered.
I am pleased that we have continued to welcome more new people to the company. We have a fantastic team with a ‘can do’ attitude as they pride themselves on delivering time and again for our clients with creative and innovative solutions. As a result, we have once again been shortlisted in 17 industry awards, winning five and receiving highly commended in two others. I am very proud that these prestigious awards recognise each of our disciplines (including awards by their accredited bodies), excellence in sectors e.g. healthcare and industrial, as well as innovation and sustainability – two things that we are absolutely passionate about. This recognition is wonderful to receive and congratulations to all businesses who have received such accolades.
We continue to innovate and have some great things planned for 2022 – watch this space! While we are well known for our work in sustainability, as our Planet Mark certification and support for the industry’s Climate and Biodiversity declarations show, in the year ahead we are committed to our journey to net zero while designing creative, innovative and sustainable solutions for our clients to fulfil their visions and goals.
We wish you all a very happy and healthy Christmas break and a prosperous 2022. We look forward to working with you in the New Year.”
Matt Tebbatt, Managing Director of ONE
