You’re sure to have your 2017 diary up and running already, so now’s the time to mark down those important dates not to be missed:
March
Dear Readers
‘Tis the season of cheer and goodwill, and I do hope you’re having a successful and profitable Christmas time.
At this time of year it’s difficult to find a moment to breathe let alone think about next year, but with 2017 only a few weeks away don’t neglect your New Year Resolutions, particularly as far as your business or career goes. Have you achieved all that you hoped to in 2016?
After the rush of Christmas, make sure you take time to assess your success over the past 12 months, and then make a resolution to act on any areas that need improvement. Treat yourself to a new a course or pay attention to any new kit you need to invest in. Take a look at our equipment investment feature (p.37) for inspiration on what you should have in your salon in 2017.
And if you’re a little behind when it comes to planning for next year, Olivia’s article on keeping to your 2017 marketing plan (p.96) is bound to help, encouraging you to make solid plans for the year ahead with some wise words from industry experts.
When you look back over the past year, I do hope you find that your 2016 has been as enjoyable as ours. Did you know that Guild News goes out to more beauty therapists, salon owners and nail technicians than any other beauty trade publication – not only do we print over 18,000 copies but more than 135,000 digital copies are distributed every month, and I’m delighted to count you amongst our readers. I hope you have found Guild News continues to offer you the informative and useful features and interesting read that we pride ourselves on.
All that remains is for me to wish you a wonderful Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
Seasons Greetings!

VTCT acquires ITEC
The Vocational Training Charitable Trust (VTCT) has acquired EMS Ltd which trades as ITEC, the internationally-recognised awarding organisation and examination board.
The acquisition has been made with a view to combining the strengths of the respective organisations and enhancing the services offered for the benefit of both centres and students.
Alan Woods OBE, CEO of VTCT says: “This acquisition aligns with our growth strategy to continue the development of our portfolio in Beauty and Spa, Complementary Therapy, Hairdressing, Sports and Fitness, and Customer Service qualifications. We’re very excited about the strong international profile ITEC brings, along with a rigorous and highly reliable examination approach which contrasts well with VTCT’s assessment models, allowing all of our approved centres to choose how they would like their learners assessed.”

Jane Foulston, CEO of ITEC adds: “ITEC and VTCT are both industry specialists with beauty therapy and hairdressing at their core, so there is already a natural synergy between the two organisations.
“With the strong international base that ITEC has developed and the dominance of VTCT in the UK, putting the two organisations together equates to the largest specialised awarding organisation in the hair and beauty sectors.”
