A commitment to creativity. A passion for success.

INVEST IN A WHITE COLLAR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WITH STYLE - INVEST IN A RUSH HAIR FRANCHISE

Recession, Recession, Recession. It's a word not far from many people's lips. The recession has made it commonplace to find people considering new career options and furthermore a prospect that leads to a more secure future.

At a time of business growth slowing to a halt, RUSH Hair strived forward and opened a staggering 16 successful franchise hair salons, with another eight opened in 2010. From Moorgate and Baker Street to Maidenhead and Southampton, all salons are thriving under what has shown to be an impenetrable business model.

RUSH's Company Chairman, Andy Phouli said: "Recession or not, we are achieving our expansion plans. As far as I am aware, hair does not stop growing in a recession and you can't get it cut online."

After 16 years at the forefront of the hairdressing industry, RUSH now has nearly 60 salons across London and the South. Located everywhere from quaint towns to the capital's most famous hotspots – including Oxford Street, The Strand and St Paul's to name a few – and big plans for the future it seems RUSH is unstoppable.

The success of the business has stemmed from a passion and dedication for quality. Whether it is for the company's outstanding creativity, courtesy of their award-winning Artistic Team headed up by International Creative Director Stelios Andrew, or for their exceptional customer service or even the look of the salons, RUSH has been awarded for its excellence at every level.

RUSH was recently honoured to receive the much coveted title of Franchisor of the Year at Salon Business' Sapphire Awards, an industry event that rewards success and business intelligence within the Franchise sector.

Charisse Kenion, Editor of Salon Business, said: "Our external panel of judges felt that the RUSH brand is one that remains highly professional, yet not overly corporate."

RUSH: THE SUCCESS STORY

Huw James, RUSH Horsham & Southampton

Huw James came to RUSH from the banking industry and is now the proud franchise owner of two salons – RUSH Horsham and RUSH Southampton.

After working for a major bank, Huw wanted more excitement in his career and started looking for new opportunities. It was during this time that he was introduced to RUSH. After spending some time working in the RUSH Brighton salon, Huw saw that a RUSH franchise could offer the perfect solution for his ambition to run a successful business while being in an exciting, creative environment and approached the franchise team.

"I saw that the business was progressive, growing and, at the forefront of the industry in everything from the education of its staff to the service for the client, and I wanted to be part of it," says Huw.

Andy Phouli and John Murphy fully supported him and before long, he was opening his own salon in Horsham.

"I had a site that was well researched, the financial benefits of economies of scale, fully trained staff and support in generating new clients. I knew from this, I had great business potential," adds Huw.

"Every day is different, I love meeting and talking to new people and it's great to see the business go from strength to strength.

"I came from a business background and with RUSH Hair, I am able to run a successful business, earning good money in a lively environment.

"It's hard work, you have to be willing to put the hours in and be prepared to work with a wide range of people but I have never looked back and I am certain investing in RUSH Hair was the right decision for me."
