Gillian made the hard choice of not wanting to run a business anymore. She needed to find a good work/life balance. She decided to go back to being employed. This was a hard and upsetting time for both. Gillian was giving up the business that she had built from scratch. Andrea was losing a great partner in business, and who had given her the opportunity to run a business. Andrea was also very worried about what would happen to the business. Asking herself these questions.
Can I run it on my own?
Will the salon stay open?
Will clients stay?
Do I need more staff?
This became a very difficult year indeed. It was stressful and exciting.
Andrea took over the salon completely on her own. Her trainee qualified and began her hairdressing journey in the salon.
What came next was extremely hard for the team.
