About Us

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve been grooming for over 17 years, and funnily enough, I actually started my career in a van. Back then, I loved the freedom it gave me—no big overheads, no scary risks, and the chance to grow at my own pace. Working in a van had so many benefits:

• I could go to my clients, instead of waiting for them to come to me
• My running costs were low
• I had the flexibility to set my own hours
• It gave me the space to build up my client base slowly but surely

After a while, my business grew, and I decided to open a shop. It was exciting, but with more staff and bigger bills, the stress crept in. That’s when something really important happened. One of my amazing team members—who started with me at just 16 and is now 29—told me she dreamed of working for herself. The problem? She felt stuck. With no clients of her own and bills to pay, the risk of going solo felt impossible.

That conversation sparked an idea. What if I could help groomers like her follow their dreams? What if there was a way to start small, build confidence, grow a client base, and save money—without all the pressure of going it alone?

And that’s how Grooming Van Hire was born. A way for groomers to take that first step toward independence, just like I once did, but with a little extra support along the way. Because I truly believe every groomer deserves the chance to make their dream a reality.

To empower groomers to grow their businesses with confidence, flexibility, and freedom—without the heavy risks and overheads of going it alone.

Whether you’re:

• A brand-new groomer wanting to test the waters
• An experienced groomer craving independence
• Someone looking to keep costs low while still building a thriving business

…we’re here to help you take that next step.

I’ve been exactly where you are—I know the struggles of starting out, the fear of having no clients, and the stress of overheads. That’s why our vans are designed with groomers in mind, and why we offer flexible hire options (hourly, half-day, or full-day) to suit your stage of the journey.

It all started with one of my team members, who had the dream of working for herself but felt trapped. By hiring a van, she was able to slowly reduce her hours in the shop, build up her client base, and save money—until she was ready to go fully independent.

That’s what Grooming Van Hire is all about: giving groomers the freedom to make the leap at their own pace.

We’re building more than a van hire service—we’re creating a supportive community of groomers who help each other grow. Our vision is to make independence possible for every groomer, one van at a time.

Thanks for stopping by, and here’s to making your grooming dream a reality!
