House of Colour experiences rapid growth in USA

Who knew it would take a global pandemic to kick start phenomenal growth for a British company in the US?  House of Colour is a franchised personal image consultancy and colour analysis company founded in the UK 35 years ago.  7 years ago we began to take our opportunity across the Atlantic seriously and invested heavily in the legal framework and systems required to franchise our business in the US.

During 2020 that investment began to pay off and we are now training at least 6 new consultants every month each with their own exclusive franchise area and the best training in our amazing analysis process and will soon reach a total of 100 consultants.

This growth requires full time focus, expertise and experience to embed and develop the opportunity.  Helen Venables , who has been MD for 9 years says ‘ We are excited to be recruiting a new managing Director for the US company who will be based in the USA. Its been quite a year dealing with the very rapid growth in the US during the Covid pandemic and the Board are excited to see this challenge taken up by the right person to develop the roots and structures we need for enduring success in the American company.  I will move into the role of Chairperson for the 2 companies and look forward to continuing to be part the growth as we move forward.’

We have also advertised and interviewed for a new MD in the UK and are excited to announce that from the same date Claire Bannister will take up this role.  Read Claire’s story below:

Living the Dream

I am delighted to be on the verge of becoming the UK Managing Director for House of Colour and to be joining the Board. For me, I feel so excited for both the USA and the UK as both regions have now sustained enough growth and presence to warrant both Helen Venables and I at the helm.

I joined House of Colour seven years ago after running my own Procurement Company and completing a successful career in Financial Services.  Those jobs have provided me with the ski

lls and experience that I will need as I take up what I think will be my last, but best Corporate ‘proper job’!

What is wonderful about my House of Colour life is that it started over 15 years ago when my best friend bought me a voucher with HOC to have my colours analysed.  Me? A woman who had always worn black to ‘blend’ and was about as uncomfortable in her own skin as a woman could be!  It was an experience that I now know changed my life in so many more ways than I could ever imagined.
