Rotherham Rocks July 2010

Oracle Taining Consultants learners took part in the Rotherham Rocks Celebration on the 6th July 2010

Shoppers and visitors to the town centre were treated to massages and mini-makeovers as part of the Rotherham Rocks celebrations. Following on from the first fashion themed event, it was the turn of hairdressers and beauty therapists to take centre stage in All Saints’ Square to host an open air pamper party on Tuesday 6th July 2010.

Rotherham Rocks is an initiative launched by town centre business group ACT for Rotherham to show people what the town has to offer. Local businesses set up in the town centre to show just what the town had to offer.

The event opened with a performance from Yorkshires Got Talent winner Chloe Bird. Staff from the Brentwood Hotel hosted the event and entertainment came from the Liquid nightclub promotions team.

As well as offering free hair cuts and massages, from local Rotherham salons, Oracle learners took this opportunity to demonstrated cutting edge hairstyles plus this was an ideal time for the learners to be assessed while promoting the hairdressing industry.

Carol Watson Operational Director said:
“The day was a fantastic example of businesses working together for the good of the town. With support from the Rotherham Advertiser, The Chamber of Commerce, One Town, One Community the shoppers had a really good experience, while promoting some of our town’s award winning hairdressers and beauty therapist that we have had the pleasure of working with for years. We had very good feedback from the public stating that they though it was a positive and enjoyable experience, many of whom remember when Rotherham was a busy, bustling market town. Our learners really enjoyed the day working with all the local businesses and within the community helping them to gain confidence and communication skills. I would like to give a big thank you to all Rotherham learners and staff for their professionalism”
