Announcing the totalsurf Q1 Awards for 2025

16th April 2025 by Chris Brown

totalsurf has held the first of our quarterly team awards for 2025, celebrating the outstanding contributions of our exceptional team members. The totalsurf Awards encourage peer recognition and reinforce our commitment to a positive and productive work environment.

At the heart of the awards are totalsurf’s four core values: promoting transparency, being a Firestarter (staying ahead of the curve), encouraging teamwork, and personal excellence. These qualities form the foundation of the totalsurf culture and are essential to our business success. The first four winners and their awards are: 

  • The Be Transparent award: SEO James Wright for his clear communication and honesty and proactively communicating with clients.
  • The Be a Firestarter award: Director Chris Brown for ‘fanning the flames of progress’ by suggesting new ways of working and fresh solutions that benefit the company and clients.
  • The Be Illuminating award: Web Developer Casey Hayward for being a team player and sharing his expert knowledge.
  • The Be the Best You award: Digital Marketing Junior Executive Kentaro Ishii for his dedication to quality and ‘stoking the flames of excellence’.

By recognising and celebrating employees who exemplify our core attributes, totalsurf is reinforcing our values and creating a culture of excellence and mutual support. Just as importantly, the awards also strengthen bonds within the team by encouraging mutual appreciation and acknowledgement of each other’s efforts in optimising our clients’ websites and improving their search rankings.
