Westrow celebrates 25 years in business

4 April 2012

Marc Westerman and Steve Rowbottom, directors at WestrowDirectors of the Westrow hairdressing group, Marc Westerman and Steve Rowbottom, celebrated 25 years in business on 1 April 2012 – 25 years to the day that they opened their first salon in the Victoria Quarter in Leeds. To mark the occasion, the directors held a huge celebratory event in the opulent setting of Aspire, Leeds, where more than 300 people including staff, industry names and members of the press gathered to mark the occasion. The night was a true celebration of the businesses longevity and evolution through a tough financial climate, but one that has seen the brand survive two recessions, while expanding to seven salons with more than 100 staff. The brand is focusing on further expansion plans, with an academy and three more salons in the immediate pipeline.

 Director Marc Westerman:

Celebrating 25 years in business is a wonderful feeling.

We have been through some tough financial times over the years, but have stayed strong, which is testament to our enduring business partnership and vision for the brand.

Steve Rowbottom: 

Recognising our loyal staff and franchisees at our event was very important to us.

They have been with us every step of the way. Some of our staff have been with us for 20 years, and have evolved as the business has grown, and for that we are truly grateful.
