The owners of a Burnham-On-Sea beauty salon are celebrating this week after winning a leading national apprenticeship award.
Paul and Sarah Hallaran have won the ‘Small UK Employer Of The Year’ award at the National Apprenticeship Awards.
They run Beauty Oasis Spa in Burnham-On-Sea High Street and three other similar spas across the region.
Paul told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We are absolutely delighted and overwhelmed to have been awarded Small Employer of the year in the UK from the National Apprenticeship Awards and also one of the Top 100 Employers In the UK.”
“The award is in its 14th year and recognises exemplar businesses across all industries. With over 1,800 applicants we were amazed to find we had not only we won the Regional Final we had also won the National Award.”
He added: “Apprenticeships have been a major focus for our business and helped us grow from one salon to four in the last ten years. When we took on a new business in Clevedon it was staffed and managed totally by ex-apprentices.”
“Now we are in Burnham-On-Sea, we fully intend to follow in this direction and are looking forward to forming strong links with local Schools in the area.”
“It is thanks to our amazing team that we have won this award. It is a fantastic achievement for a small local business.”
