Square One Network is proud to announce that we have been named finalists in three categories at the 2026 C2S Business Awards:
- Customer Excellence Award
- Small Business of the Year
- Team of the Year
This recognition marks a significant milestone for our business and reflects the continued commitment, growth, and culture that has defined Square One over the past year.
What This Recognition Means to Us
Being shortlisted across three categories is not something we take lightly. Each award represents a different aspect of what we are striving to build as a business.
Our Customer Excellence nomination reflects the operational discipline and leadership focus we’ve embedded into the way we serve our customers – from structured feedback loops to proactive communication and leadership-led listening.
Our Small Business of the Year recognition highlights not just our growth – including 26% over the past two years – but how we’ve achieved it: through trust, reputation, and a relentless focus on delivering value to SMEs across Bristol, the South West and South Wales.
And being named finalists for Team of the Year is perhaps the most meaningful of all. It reflects the culture, accountability, and shared purpose across our 10-person team – a group that works hard, supports one another, and genuinely cares about the outcomes we deliver for our customers.
A Reflection of Our Journey
In many ways, this recognition is the result of a conscious decision we made as a business:
To do things differently.
In an industry often driven by automation, outsourced support, and price competition, we’ve stayed focused on:
- High-contact, personable service
- Technical expertise without compromise
- Continuous improvement driven by customer feedback
- A team culture built on accountability and trust
Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in refining our processes, improving communication, and strengthening both our customer experience and our internal culture.
These finalist positions suggest we are on the right path – but for us, they are also a reminder that there is always more to do.
A Team Effort
None of this happens without people.
From engineering and support through to operations, sales, and leadership, every member of the Square One team plays a role in delivering the experience our customers value.
We’ve built a business where:
- Engineers speak directly to customers
- Feedback is acted on, not filed away
- Success is shared
- Challenges are faced together
That collective mindset is what makes this recognition so meaningful.
Looking Ahead to July 2nd
We are now looking forward to attending the C2S Business Awards ceremony on:

It promises to be a fantastic evening celebrating some of the best businesses across the region.
Thank You
Finally, we want to thank our customers, partners, and wider network.
Your trust, feedback, and continued support are what drive us to keep improving. These nominations are as much yours as they are ours.
Whatever happens on the night, we’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved – and even more excited about what comes next.

Still Bristol’s best kept secret… but maybe not for much longer.
