Grooming supplies manufacturer Mutneys Professional Care has opened a new showroom at its headquarters in Stoke Heath, near Market Drayton, Staffordshire.
The opening of the 54 sq m showroom comes as the family-owned company celebrates 25 years in the grooming business. Directors Jamie and Stephanie Roberts started the company from their dining room table and say it has since grown to be a UK leader in the industry.
“We are pleased with what we have achieved in the dog grooming business in the past years and we enjoy hearing about our clients loving our products,” said Jamie. “The last year hasn’t been the easiest but we all need to look ahead and that’s why we are here today to look ahead.”
Mutneys was due to open the showroom last year but had to delay because of covid.
Operations manager Louise Lamb said: “Having a showroom means that, for the first time, all our products will be on display in a retail setting so that our customers can come and have a browse and talk to us face to face about their needs.
“We are thrilled to be opening our doors and welcoming our friends and customers after so many months of restrictions.”
ON DISPLAY
All Mutneys products, many of which are made locally, were on display at the open day in August, including its full range of dog shampoo and fragrances, the Supertubs – as seen on the popular TV show ‘Pooch Perfect’ – and its dryers.
The new showroom coincided with Mutneys announcing its co-operation with one of the UK’s top grooming experts, Julie Harris. Julie has become established as a leading trainer and has helped pioneer The Groomer Spotlight scheme to give registered groomers a platform to promote their work and continue their training.
The Julie Harris range of products are on display in the new showroom and available from Mutneys for the first time.
During the event, co-founder Steph Roberts also officially presented a cheque for £2,520 to Jenny Martinez, from Grinshill Animal Rescue.
Guests had a chance to win several prizes including a voucher from Mutneys, Clippers from Wahl, Clippers from Heinger and Aqueos Anti Bacterial Shampoo.
