Hi Billy, tell us about yourself, why did you decide to become a Rush franchisee?

BILLY: I’ve been a hair stylist for over 20 years working all over London, I’ve managed and owned my own salon in the past. I decided to franchise with Rush because I wanted a change and a new challenge, I wanted to be part of a bigger team and successful, growing brand. I wanted to join Rush because I strongly believe in the brand’s philosophy and after meeting the directors I felt confident going into business with Andy and Stell and being part of the Rush family.

How did you find the Rush franchising process?

BILLY: To be franchising with Rush is such a great opportunity. To be able to go into business with a close knit family and such a successful brand with over 50 industry accolades behind them is really special. I have so much ongoing support and training from Rush for both myself as a franchisee and my team of stylists. To have Rush Art Team members like British Colour Technician of the year, Chris Williams and British Fellowship Hairdresser of the year, Andy Heasman working directly with my team, passing on their skills and doing everything to help make my salon a huge success is incredible.

 

 

Why did you choose  Chelmsford  to open a Rush salon?

BILLY: Chelmsford is an amazing city, the salon is in a beautiful 3 floored old building right in the middle of the town centre. There is a lot of friendly and lovely clientèle in the area and I feel Rush will do really well here. I’m looking forward to bringing a new style of glamorous London hairdressing to the area.
