GROOM TEAM ENGLAND COMMITTEE

are now pleased to announce the new team members who are representing England during 2010/2011 culminating in the World Team championships in 2011.

 

 

The four team members are:

Heidi Anderton from London representing the Poodle Class

Joanne Botwood from Bradford representing the Spaniel & Setter Class

Peter Ensell from Warwickshire representing the Purebreed Scissor Class

Jitka Krizova from Staffordshire representing the Hand Strip Class.

 

Collectively they have achieved Best in Show at all major grooming events in this country and are renowned for their expertise and skill, not only in their own category but with a variety of breeds. They have also contributed widely throughout many areas of the grooming industry including judging and helping to run competitions.

 

They are highly sought after to demonstrate at various events and can be seen over the next two years at Crufts, Intercollege competition, Pet and Aquatics Trade Show and Groom Team England events including Premier Groom.

 

Each runs their own highly successful grooming businesses and training schools enabling them to share their expertise and knowledge with others. We are confident that the new team will achieve the accolades of the retiring team.

 

Team Selection

The team members are selected from the previous two years competitions and must have competed with a Poodle, Spaniel or Setter, Purebreed Scissor or Hand Strip dog to breed standard techniques. Competitors are awarded points for 1^st to 3^rd places in the specific classes that they will go on to represent and points are also awarded for Best in Show, Reserve Best in Show and Judging appointments. The top scoring competitors in each class are then invited by the committee to become a Groom Team England Team member.
