Groom Team England 6th Place - Belgium 2024
At Absolutely Animals, excellence in grooming is a family tradition. We are bursting with pride to announce that Christine Anderton recently returned from the World Team Grooming Championship 2024 in Kortrijk, Belgium, where she competed as a proud member of Groom Team England.
Following in the footsteps of our founder, Heidi Anderton, Christine took to the international stage to showcase the very best of British grooming talent.
A Top-Tier Global Performance
Competing against the elite from around the world is no small feat. We are thrilled to celebrate Groom Team England securing a fantastic 6th Place finish!
Christine competed in the highly technical Poodle category. Known for requiring surgical precision and artistic flair, the Poodle class is often the most scrutinized by international judges. Christine’s performance was a masterclass in scissoring and shape, proving exactly why she earned her spot on the national team.
The 2024 Powerhouse Lineup
Christine was joined by an incredible group of stylists, led by Team Captain Lia Jayne Godding, who all demonstrated world-class skill:
- Christine Anderton: Poodle
- Jo Silk-Smith: Spaniel and Setter
- Nancy Brincat: Purebred Scissor
- Julia Fox: Handstrip
- Louisa Tandy: Reserve
- Lia Jayne Godding: Team Captain
This 6th-place world ranking is a testament to the hard work, late nights, and dedication these groomers pour into their craft.
World-Class Skills, Right Here in London
The techniques Christine used on the world stage in Belgium are the same standards we uphold every day at Absolutely Animals. Whether she is prepping a dog for a global competition or styling a local pet in our salon, that “Championship” level of care is always present.
