As a former Leicester College learner, Jo March, Salon Director for March Hair, has first hand experience of the standard of training courses and programmes available through the College.

After setting up her first salon in Market Harborough six years ago, Jo made sure her business ethos included supporting and training young people. She said: “During my days as a trainee hairdresser, I found I sometimes lacked the support I needed to enhance my training role. “I believe if you invest in your staff, it can help make the business stronger.”

Jo currently has eight apprentices across her two salons in Market Harborough and Rugby and has plans to expand on the training and courses on offer.

She added: “For me Leicester College is reputable and reliable. The courses are both bespoke and flexible, Leicester College has given me an outstanding service and that’s something I’ve never had that with other training providers.”
