Paula Bryan, a respected figure in the grooming industry with nearly 40 years of experience, is thrilled to announce her new role as the head of the British Isles Grooming Association (BIGA). She takes over the reins from founder Heidi Anderton, who has built BIGA into a cornerstone of the professional grooming community.
Paula brings with her a wealth of knowledge and a dynamic vision for the future of the industry. She is committed to ensuring that grooming professionals receive the training and support they need to excel in their craft. Additionally, Paula is passionate about advancing the industry with a focus on introducing much-needed legislation to promote standards and professionalism.
“It’s an honour to be asked to continue the incredible work that Heidi has done with BIGA,” Paula said. “I am ecstatic to take on this role and help move our industry forward. I have exciting plans to bring training to the forefront and advocate for registration that benefits both groomers and the pets they care for.”
To officially mark this new chapter, Paula will be available to meet and discuss her plans at the Clipit Grooming trade stand during Crufts at the NEC in March. Visitors can find her at Hall 1, Stand 18, where she will also showcase Clipit’s innovative grooming products. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with Paula, learn about her vision for BIGA, and explore how the association will continue to elevate the grooming profession.
