Salon boss looking to expand
9:13am Tuesday 30th October 2007
THE owner of two hairdressing salons wants to expand her business across County Durham.
Janet Maitland employs 18 staff at salons in Durham and Hetton-le-Hole, on Wearside, and operates a training academy, which opened in 2001.
She wants to open a number of new sites and has sought advice from Business Link North-East.
She said: "Business Link has been very supportive as the business has grown, identifying ideas and opportunities for growth.
"Having built the business on reputation, I'm extremely proud of my team's achievements and now feel the time has come to expand confidently."
Ms Maitland recently invested £15,000 in training for staff and the business was awarded the Outstanding Group Success Award by the County Durham Life Long Learning Partnership.
She added: "With Business Link's support, we're currently developing a website and looking to launch a magazine which will showcase the salon's work.
"We're always looking to develop the skills within the salons."
