Rush london annual awards celebrate a year of success
Some 1,000 team members converged on the Novatel, Hammersmith for the fifth Rush London Annual Awards last month - 700 more than attended the first awards ceremony four years ago.
The awards celebrated a record year for the group, with 16 new salon openings taking the company's total to 50.
The event was hosted by Rush international artistic director, Andy Heasman and UK educational director, Dimitri Loizi. Proceedings kicked off with a speech by chairman Andrew Phouli who told guests: "Rush is recession-proof. We serviced in excess of 250,000 new clients in 2009 and expanded our team by 300."
The excited crowd was also treated to a presentation by international creative director, Stelios Andrew, who gave a motivational trip back through Rush's history; and a live demonstration by international colour director, Chris Williams.
