Interview with Laura Procter - HJ's 2012 Franchisee of the Year

Laura Procter - HJ's 2012 Franchisee of the Year

Laura Procter of Westrow, West Park talks about the winning formula that made her HJ's 2012 Franchisee of the Year.

Tell me about your career with Westrow before becoming a franchisee.

I joined Westrow in 1999 as a stylist at its Victoria Quarter salon in Leeds. I was there for a year before moving to the salon at 2-3 Thornton's Arcade, Leeds, where I was assistant manager for two and a half years. I then moved to 18 Thornton's Arcade in 2003 where I was manager for three years, until I opened Westrow West Park as a franchise in 2006.

What attracted you to the brand? 

I was instantly attracted to Westrow as a brand - the staff looked cool and I loved the creativity of the business and the buzz of the salon. My interview was with director Steve Rowbottom who was so genuine and talked passionately about the future. I had a gut feeling about him and the company. It's opened a door that I can't ever see closing. 

Why become a  franchisee?

Directors Steve Rowbottom and Marc Westerman have always instilled a passion before profit approach to business and chose a sustainable business model within a field that they are both incredibly passionate about. I loved the ethos and as a result I have adopted the same discipline to my business.

Why do you think you were awarded HJ's Franchisee of the Year?

I am strategic in my development of the business and my team and constantly encourage people to reach their full potential. To flourish as a business, it's imperative everyone works together to accomplish the same end goal. I am truly motivated by their success. Cultivating a winning team is good for Westrow as a business and great for West Park as a franchise. 

How does being a franchisee have an advantage over being a totally independent salon?

Running my own business was always my goal, but running it within the Westrow framework has offered me measurable systems and training to ensure I have the tools to run it successfully. After 26 years of experience, it's a proven, award-winning business format with tried-and-tested systems of operation. 

What plans do you have for the future of the business?

Our salon's win at the 2012 L'Oréal Colour Trophy was the result of months of hard work, dedication and discipline that will pay huge dividends. 

At present, I am looking for the right unit to open my second franchise in Street Lane, an affluent suburb in North Leeds. After that - the sky's the limit!
