This year, Caspian One is in the running for two prestigious accolades for the Solent 100 SME growth awards – "Leadership Team of the Year" and "Owner Managed Business of the Year." These nominations are not just tokens of recognition; they symbolise a profound journey of growth and positive change within our organisation. Over the past two years, Caspian One has implemented strategic changes that helped the business develop and thrive. 

Our leadership team, driven by a commitment to excellence, has invested time and effort in adopting best practices. We have created an environment that fosters individual success and promotes a high-performance culture that motivates our employees to develop successful careers and pushes them to achieve their best. 

It's not just an acknowledgement of the company; it's a celebration of the hard work and dedication our team has invested over the years to continue our growth journey. Our company has been greatly mentored by our experienced CEOs, Marcus and Lee, who have been in the industry for over 20 years in our specialized fields. Their close involvement has propelled us towards continued success, and these nominations serve not only as recognition of our past achievements but also as a celebration of our leadership ethos. 

“We are honoured that Caspian One has been recognised in the prestigious Solent 250 for the second year in a row, marking a remarkable achievement for our company. In the dynamic landscape of diverse businesses, being mentioned alongside household names is a testament to the hard work and dedication that goes into our company. 

Furthermore, we take immense pride in our nominations for the Solent SME Growth 100. What makes this recognition even more special for Caspian is that we have been nominated for two awards in closely aligned categories. This underscores the unwavering effort and dedication we've invested over the past couple of years. This acknowledgement fuels our motivation to continue striving for excellence and innovation in our industry." - Nicole Thomson – Finacial and Operations Director.
