in the industry, watching closely as to the directions it takes and offering progressive educational courses which enable students to grow with the change.
“We have proven above average exam success rates, with graduates of the college being sought after by top Salons and Spas internationally due to the college’s great reputation,” she adds.
“Over the years, The Galligan Beauty College has built an outstanding reputation in Ireland and abroad for the high success rates achieved in our internationally-accredited beauty therapy courses, ensuring that Galligan Beauty College graduates are amongst the most elite and in-demand both nationally and internationally.”
Not plain sailing
Having said all this, no business’ success is ever plain sailing. As with running any company, there are bound to be highs and lows, but it’s how you deal with those situations which ultimately unveil a successful business.
As with many companies, The Galligan Beauty College was affected by the downturn in the economy which resulted in potential students lost through emigration. However, in the face of adversity, Lorraine and Careena decided to introduce shorter courses that were more affordable and built in business modules into courses so that graduates could be more adaptable to the environment at the time.
“A family business operating for more than 40 years, Galligan Beauty has seen many highs and lows. We have tried to build an organisation that will
survive and flourish under just about any possible future and that has always been the philosophy behind the present day management team. A diversified business model of college plus working salon business and retail provides additional resilience in times of economic uncertainty,” Careena reveals.
Opportunities and future progression
It is no doubt due to this resilience and smart thinking that both sisters have been in high demand. Lorraine with her wealth of experience is regularly sought out by CIDESCO as an international examiner. The sisters’ most recent achievement include being presented with the opportunity to speak at the
international beauty industry conference, Cosmoprof, which demonstrates exactly what can be achieved when hard work and determination is involved.
If you ask the ladies themselves what they believe is their key to success and where they believe their college will go in the future, their answer is clear: “We believe accreditation, development and constantly expanding to drive new standards in educational qualifications is the key to success. We are constantly responding to changing industry dynamics and offering progressive educational courses to further grow the business,” Lorraine concludes.
