The Face & Body Shop of Grotton has been awarded the prestigious accolade of Guinot Crown Salon of the Decade.

The salon received the award at the celebrated Guinot Awards held at the Landmark Hotel, London.

The salon, which employs 25 staff, beat off competition from 1,600 other Guinot Salons across the UK and Northern Ireland to win the title.

The award recognises the continued service, sales and standards offered at the salon.

Valerie Simpson, owner of The Face & Body Shop, said: “I was astounded when they presented us with this award.

“I really wasn’t expecting it, it’s such a big honour. But it reflects the hard work and dedication of all the staff and the loyalty of customers.

“We have been trading now for 12 years and to receive an award that represents a decade of achievement means an awful lot — here’s to the next ten years.”
