About
With the help of the Princes Trust the dream of owning my own dog grooming salon became a reality.
I attended the Enterprise Course (a short business course) and created an in depth business plan to present to a panel. Still one of the best days of my life… I was accepted for the start up business loan, as a bonus, awarded a business mentor, Tracy Westley (a bank manager). I am forever grateful and thankful to the Princes Trust and Tracy and am honored to be a Young Ambassador for them.
I am a firm believer in continuously striving to better yourself and to be part of an industry that is continually evolving. Attending regular seminars to keep up with new trends and the latest equipment.
I am a proud founder member and volunteer of the British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA) which was created by groomers for groomers.
I am also a founder member of The Groomers Spotlight, both associations are propelling the industry forward to the future with hopes of positive change.
