The Smart Group

We're back! 🎉

After the success of the last Growth Summit, we're bringing clinic and salon owners together again in York, in collaboration with Susan Routledge.

📅 Monday 18 January 2027
📍 The Milner Hotel, York

The date is confirmed, bookings are now open and our early bird offer is available. ⏰ Spaces are limited, so if you want a day focused on growing your business the Smart way, this is the one to put in your diary.

You'll leave with practical business tools and a Clinic Growth Blueprint to take back to your team. 🚀

📍 Where does your salon sit on the ladder?

Every business sits somewhere on this ladder. 🪜 Generalists feel the pressure most, from price-sensitive clients and rising costs. Specialist and expert salons build loyal clients, protect their margins and earn more per hour 💷

On Monday 16th November at 10:00, Josh will help you work out where you sit today and how to move up. 🗓️ It’s 30 minutes on Microsoft Teams, and it’s free.
