What a year!

2011 proved to be an amazing year at Barrett and Coe.

Thanks to all who contributed to making it such a special year. Achievements and records included: More Grade ones from our students than ever before.

Highest ever sales by ex students. We were able to donate a total of £7500 split between our two chosen charities: Bliss and Love a Child. All four franchisees with contracts up for renewal signed for a further five years. Overall sales by franchisees increased by more than 100%.

There were 62 portrait sales of over £1000. More people did Barrett and Coe training courses than ever before. Contracts or agreements were made with three major Partners Activity Superstore, National Childbirth Trust and Parent Teacher Assciation UK.

We launched a nationwide Platinum Network for the best studios in the UK. We moved to premises four times the size of our previous ones. Eight new studios have been scheduled to open early in 2012. Two franchisees in their first year have just taken a further area each.

2012 promises to be even more exciting. Posts on this site will now stop until 2012 but thanks to all for following this blog. Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to everyone.
