From Ballymoney to Bahrain, Groom Professional has been the industry standard for dog grooming products around the globe. Driven by innovation, Groom Professional's close relationship to their customers has always been at the forefront of the brand, listening to their customers' needs to bring the newest and best products to the market.
Colin Christie, owner of Groom Professional, made his start in large cattle and farm animal grooming. After gaining widespread success in this market, he turned his attentions to pets, creating Groom Professional in 2005, aiming to cover the needs of any grooming salon across the world. Starting from just 8 shampoos, the brand has expanded to countries across the globe, whilst still retaining the heart of the brand - to provide excellence in all grooming salons.
Nothing but the best is accepted with Groom Professional, who always ensure that they follow these standards:
- Ensuring the welfare of both pets and groomers has always been a top priority. No product leaves the Groom Professional warehouse without extensive testing making sure that all wet products are made to EU Human Cosmetic Standards.
- No product is released unless it provides excellent value. Groom Professional refuses to produce lacklustre products no matter the cost. They know that customers value quality and place these needs before anything else.
Launched With a Bold Identity
Since its launch, it's clear the rest of the world agrees with these aims. The Groom Professional black bottle and bold colour look is a recognisable brand across 42 countries. This success brought the necessity to grow. Opening the Agivey site allowed for Groom Professional to not only expand their production ability, but also create jobs and opportunities in Ballymoney.
From starting with just 8 types of shampoo to developing an entire range of shampoo for every need, they now had to grow to meet demand. The Agivey site was upgraded with new machinery in 2021 this allowed Groom Professional to continue placing itself at the cutting edge of technology, increasing its manufacturing ability and moving into the future.
Their continued development of shampoos has led to best sellers such as Bright White, which enhances the white tones in a dog’s coat, to release a beautiful glow to any light-coloured dog. Other fan favourites include the Dirty Dogs Shampoo, a great all-rounder for any salon that cuts through dirt and grease to leave a perfectly clean coat, as well as Baby Fresh Shampoo that offers a deep cleansing but gentle formula. This is perfect for puppies or young dogs and, to add, it has a long-lasting Baby Powder scent that customers love.
