The glittering milestone anniversary celebration on August 14th was held at the
luxury Goodwood Hotel, at globally renowned Goodwood Estate, attended by 80
specially invested guests including past and present Q team members, who mingled,
laughed about years gone by and eventually took their seats in a beautifully
decorated quintessential marquee complete with elegantly-set tables, burning
candles, and memorabilia of years in Q's history.

Reflecting the important part that a strong team has played in the salon's success for
so long, Q decided to include a motivational element in the celebrations, including
speakers on innovation and leadership, with a key speech from Donna Ockenden,
one of British Vogue's 25 Most Inspirational Women, who gave a talk about her life
journey. Debbie Digby delivered inspiration around the topic of leadership while
Youtube sensation @craigsworldofhair presented best practices in the craft of
hairdressing.
Awards were presented to current team members for their hard work and
commitment. Their names will be inscribed in a special Wooden Honours Board
which will be on display in the salon.
