Marketing is the key skill of a successful and growing business, and this is always one of the most competitive and sort after awards of the nght. With so many new marketing platforms to master including social media, video, blogging etc it’s often easy to over look the power of a blend of online and off line strategies. Charlotte demonstrated a huge commitment to IMPLEMENTING one of the largest amount of strategies we have ever seen in an entry, mixed with huge doses of Salon personality and fun. It’s no wonder their client numbers keep growing and they lead the way for the Newbury members by picking up this well deserved award.

Set backs and disappointments can happen to any of us, at any time, but it’s what you do about it that counts. To turn a business around requires, determination, passion and a HUGE amount of effort. To post a 283% increase in new business in just 12 months gives you some indication of just how hard our winner Simon Gregory has worked. When you also consider the fact that he’s now so busy he has taken on new team members and implemeted a monthly marketing campaign it’s easy to see why he is a deserving winner of this award.
