Crufts 2026
We had an incredible response from visitors interested in the courses and professional qualifications we offer.
It was a busy four days, with our team on the stand from 7am most mornings. While it was certainly hard work, it was incredibly rewarding to catch up with old friends, former students and fellow groomers.
What was particularly exciting was seeing so many new and familiar faces who had made a special journey to come and speak with us about their future in the dog grooming industry.
It was fantastic to meet so many passionate people considering a career in dog grooming, and we loved hearing about their plans for the future.
