Our Recent Awards

Sue Oliver at Crufts 2025

We had an amazing show this year on our trade stand at Crufts, NEC Birmingham and we were even featured in the newspapers!

 

Crufts is the worlds largest dog show. We carried out grooming demonstrations along with selling our grooming retail stock. Crufts is a must for anyone in the grooming industry. We have a stand every year where you can come and chat about our grooming courses and much more. Next years dates are 5th to 8th March 2026.

International Students

This summer we welcomed students from Korea in collaboration with Burton College. The students were visiting the UK on a 4-week learning programme from their University and explored our grooming school to gain experience within the salon and appreciate the grooming industry in a real environment. They enjoyed seeing how to manage the dogs with care and experience various grooming techniques on a Miniature Schnauzer called Mollie and a Sproodle called Reggie. We really enjoyed hosting the overseas learners and showing them our grooming school and studio.
