With industry experience spanning 25 years, and 5 years teaching expertise, Nicki Cockbill was perfectly placed to set up her own business. Having registered her start-up business, Company HQ Limited barbers, in July 2016, Nicki has opened her long-awaited shop and training academy in Southend-on-Sea.
We spoke to Nicki about her start-up journey and her passion for what she does.
Tell us more about Company HQ Limited and the motivation behind it.
Company HQ is more than just a barbers; I am passionate about the work, so much so that I am developing the shop into an academy in order to teach others the art of professional barbering.
I have the drive and determination to succeed, and am committed to offering excellence and customer service, which has been fuelled by my background in teaching.
As a hairdresser and barber I have a passion for excellence and service, and as a tutor I want to share, educate, and bring like-minded barbers together.
Have you encountered any challenges?
The start-up journey so far has not been without some challenges, but I have learnt many lessons along the way which will help me in future endeavours.
