Awards: saks national awards

The achievement of salons and individuals were recognised at the Saks national awards

The Saks Group puts on events with enormous style -- and its national awards ceremony is no exception.

The company holds national awards each year to recognise the highest-achieving salons and individuals within the network, and to celebrate the continuing succes of the group, which currently has more than 140 hair and beauty salons nationwide.

With more than 3,000 team members now working for Saks, competition is fierce.

Individual winners from the regional awards -- help late in 2007 -- attended a glittering "grand finale" prizegiving lunch at London's Cafe de Paris, where they were joined by Saks franchisees, VIPs and celebrity judges to find out who had won the national titles.  These included image, salon team and achievement awards relating to hair and beauty.

Saks international creative director and celebrity hair-stylist on Channel 4's 10 Years Younger, Andrew Barton says: "The awards luncheon was incredibly exciting and had a fantastic atmosphere.  Congratulations to all the winners."
