    Do you need professional help?! If you are uncertain about your options, thinking you ought to be doing things differently, blinded by technology or worried about what you need to spend then please get in touch. We’re always keen to try and find potential answers to real issues. We encourage the experts to offer practical, affordable advice. So if you’d like us to investigate an issue or find solutions to something you want to tackle then let us know. We want to create articles that make a real difference to real grooming businesses – so if there’s an issue you feel would benefit from a bit of expert advice then please let us know We’ve assembled a team of business experts who we can turn to for practical advice.

  • The easy way to send us your photos
    The easy way to send us your photos
    The easy way to send us your photos It’s not a good idea to use your email account to send us photos – if they’re a decent size and you’re sending a few it could clog up your email account – exceed file size limits – and generally cause the kind of technical headaches none of us wants in life! It’s much simpler to use a file sharing service – these are widely available on the web and also as Apps. The one we tend to us is a FREE web service – www.wetransfer.com In simple terms (and apologies here to anyone who’s technically gifted) these services allow you to upload your files onto the company’s web servers and then – when the upload is finished – an email gets sent to your friend/colleague telling them you’ve sent some files and asking if they’d like to download them. All you’ll need is our email address – please use: photos@groomersgallery.com We’ll download your photos as soon as we can (and you’ll probably get an auto email telling you we’ve done it) but please be patient the site isn’t a profit making business and we all have day jobs that keep us occupied! Thanks for getting involved – any issues then please us the Contact Us option [under the home icon – main menu] to get in touch Interested in taking some shots?
