Rapid expansion and strong client results have earned CRDOne the High Growth Business of the Year award at the 2026 SME Bedfordshire Business Awards.
The Bedford agency collected the award at The Marquee on 18 June and was also named a finalist in the Business of the Year category for businesses with fewer than 50 employees.
Over the past year, CRDOne has increased its team from three to seven people and expanded its client base to more than 30 organisations throughout the UK.
The agency’s growth is supported by successful client campaigns, including a project that helped an ecommerce company achieve a 45% rise in revenue and traffic. CRDOne has also worked with Gadget GoGo and major automotive brands such as Renault, Citroën and Genesis.
“This recognition is a proud moment for everyone at CRDOne,” said founder Carl Darnell. “Our clients have played a huge part in our journey, and we’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built over the years.”
The company has also supported local business development initiatives, including an event at the Red Bull Technology Campus attended by over 50 entrepreneurs.
The award recognises achievements across revenue, staffing, client retention and community contribution.
“Our purpose hasn’t changed,” Carl added. “We want to make marketing easier to understand and help businesses make informed commercial decisions.”
CRDOne continues to provide growth-focused marketing services to businesses across Bedfordshire and the wider UK.
