est Byfleet hair stylists and technicians Macco Hair are celebrating two separate awards this year. The owner, Dennis Macco is especially pleased that his commitment to training his staff through apprenticeships and continuous professional development was recognised by the South East Learning and Skills Council. Macco Hair was awarded Employer of the Year in the Micro Employer category (up to nine employees) in the
South East Learning and Skills awards in May. To win Macco Hair had to demonstrate that investing in staff training has enabled the business to improve and grow and to show measurable and quantifiable business benefits. Dennis said: “I benefitted from excellent training and I’m determined to give my employees the same opportunities – if you’re not up to date you’re out of business.” Dennis makes it clear that it’s not just new young staff that need support; the concept of lifelong learning is embraced by style directors too – and this year Michelle Lee proved this by winning The Ultimate Challenge ITS Training Unisex hair Salon Award in the bridal category. Whilst much of the focus this year has been on Colouring keeping the staff at the forefront of their Styling professions, Macco Hair understands that a visit Hair Up to the hair dressers means more to a client than a Wedding Packages just a great hair style. “This year we’ve given the salon a make-over Loyalty Offers too.
