From award wins to milestone salon openings, live shows to international recognition, the group has had another exceptional year. The RUSH Oscars bring together the entire RUSH team to recognise those who had gone above and beyond within the group. CEO and Co-Founders, Andy Phouli and Stell Andrew took to the stage to give an inspirational welcome speech, which was met by huge applause from the captivated audience.
Hosted by International Creative Director Andy Heasman and Colour Director Chris Williams, the duo exclaimed 2018 as a year of incredible achievement for the entire RUSH family. While discussing the achievements, Andy and Chris touched on the company’s charitable side. RUSH raise valuable funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital through their RUSH Live show, which takes place annually in October. This year was again no exception and the sum raised at the October show was a staggering £14,190 bringing the overall total raised over nine years to £149,190.00. The cheque was presented to GOSH representative Lizzie Helps.
