How long have you worked for Arrow: Since before we even started the business in 1997.
Your favorite product: We have so many brands and in the main love them all. We have some incredible exclusive Salon Professional only brands with independent distributors such as ASP Affinage, It&ly, Sienna X, Hive, Lisap, and some of them I have dealt with for 20 + years. I love the quirkiness of Milk_shake and Reuzel which is new to us in 2020 and we get some great support from the National Brands in all aspects of the business.
Favourite experience: So many as I watched the business grow, but opening the new store 3 years ago at the same time as winning UK and Ireland Distributor of the year for 2017/18 for Affinage has to be a highlight. Also how the team has pulled together during COVID has been heartwarming to watch.
We have an amazing customer base and many of them and many of our suppliers I am proud to call friends. We have supported each other through good times and bad and our team has proven time and time again that we are the friendliest and most caring wholesaler in the region. It is not just a job for us, we understand that our customers are key to our success and that we need to support them and help them grow their businesses to allow us to succeed in our business.
