Jessica Crane, Wealth & Business Coach has received the Innovation of the Year award, sponsored by VTCT, at HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards 2020 for her online business coaching programme Systemise for Success. This award reviewed and recognised performance, impact and quality over the past 12 months.
The award recognises UK entrepreneurs within the hairdressing industry who have recently made their business dream a reality, taking concept to finished product.
Systemise for Success is a 12 module online programme designed specifically for salon owners. The programme provides ongoing accountability, a community of salon owners and expert support whilst teaching how to maximise profit and grow the business. Taking concepts from the best experts in the world and adapting them to the hair industry, Jessica is challenging the way salon owners operate their businesses and in turn helping to transform them on a personal journey.
HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards, now in its 22nd year, promote professionalism, innovation and excellence, while recognising those individuals and teams who work tirelessly to raise the profile of the hairdressing industry. Adapting to the new normal, this year all the award winners were announced during a virtual ceremony on Monday 25th January.
