We spoke to Louisa and asked her what her highlights of 2024 are, to which she revealed, the pinnacle was being asked to represent England as a reserve team member at the World Championships. She explained that this moment filled her with pride and wasn’t only a stand-out moment for 2024, but her career too.
Looking ahead, we spoke about plans for 2025, where she revealed there are multiple exciting projects underway, but the biggest and most ambitious will be GroomFest, she said, “It is going to be huge.”
Louisa has also been invited to The Great Scot Groom at Easter to hold a seminar, and has received an invitation to judge and speak at The Great British Grooming Show in May, which she is really looking forward to. In the meantime time, Louisa revealed that she has Crufts demonstrations to organise as well as GroomFest South seminars to plan. We look forward to following her success in 2025!
