This recognition is an important milestone for us. What began with Dean, his laptop, his industry knowledge, and a contact list of who’s who in utilities has grown into a dedicated team delivering projects for a diverse portfolio of clients across South Yorkshire and beyond. From day one, the foundations were there with expertise, relationships, and a commitment to doing things properly, and those same qualities continue to shape the way we work today.

Our nomination for Campaign of the Year celebrates Utilitopoly, a creative campaign that aimed to shed light on an industry that often shares very little information. Utility connections can feel complicated and frustrating, and Utilitopoly was designed to bring that hidden world into the open in a way that is accessible, human, and even a little playful.

Dean Pattison, founder and director of Utility Source, said:
“Being shortlisted for these awards means so much to us. We set out to build a business that property developers and investors can genuinely rely on, where good advice and clear communication are key. Utilitopoly was our first big step into targeted marketing, and it has been amazing to see how much it has resonated with clients and the wider industry. None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our team and the trust placed in us by our customers.”

The Business Growth Award shortlisting reflects not just our expansion but the sustainable way we have grown by investing in people, processes, and relationships.

We want to say a heartfelt thank you to our team for their hard work and passion, to our customers for their trust, and to the Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, the judges, and the award sponsors for recognising the achievements of businesses across the region.

Congratulations to all this year’s finalists. We can’t wait to celebrate your achievements together on the big night.

The winners will be revealed at the awards ceremony at Magna on Friday, 14 November 2025. Follow us on social media to see how we get on.
