7 out of 11 winners at the Sapphires use Shortcuts

Manchester, May 2009:- Shortcuts Software enjoyed an unequalled success at the Sapphires as seven out of the eleven winners are salons that use Shortcuts. This incredible achievement is in addition to 60% of all the finalists being Shortcuts salons.  

The Sapphires are the first ever awards that recognise and reward success in the franchise sector of the hair industry. The Sapphires recognise the exceptional professional skills which create franchise success and the award categories reflect essential business drivers. There were eleven categories overall, six for franchisees and five for franchisors, some of which include The Best Use of Technology, Best Local Marketing, Best Corporate Image, Franchisor of the Year and Franchisee of the year. 

In total there were 45 finalists across the eleven categories at the Sapphires and 27 of these are Shortcuts users. The Best Local Marketing and Top Training Development categories Shortcuts have achieved a clean sweep as all finalists are Shortcuts salons.

“Shortcuts are incredibly proud that so many clients were so successful on the evening at the Sapphires. We would like to congratulate them all, and we are thrilled that their hard work has been recognised and rewarded by the industry.” Commented Tom Bentley-Taylor, General Manager at Shortcuts.
