I'VE BEEN SHORTLISTED FOR THE LIZ PAUL AWARDS 2026 😭❤️
You can vote for me now, my full name is Coral Aston (it won't be under my business name). Voting will only take a few moments 🏴
I am very honoured to be nominated for the Scottish Groomer category and to have been shortlisted. I have also been selected for the Jigsaw Award, which is awarded through hard work and dedication rather than public nominations.
The Liz Paul Awards are prestigious within the grooming industry, and simply being recognised and shortlisted is an achievement in itself that I never thought would happen to me.
Since opening my own salon December 2024, I've grafted from day one. I entered my first competition in April 2025 and have been dedicated ever since. I've travelled hundreds of hours all over the UK to participate in dog grooming competitions with the aim of growing as a groomer, alongside attending webinars and continuing my education at home. I have been very honoured to have placed in multiple online and in person competitions.
While doing all of this and running a small business, I have also been juggling being an unpaid carer at home while my partner has been unwell, which has brought its own challenges, as many of my close friends and family will know.
This shortlisting has really made all of the hard work feel worthwhile, and I truly value all of the support I've received along the way.
I would love to ask my wonderful friends, family, clients, and anyone who would like to support me to vote for me in both categories. I have attached the voting link below. You will need to vote in every category, where there are many other talented individuals also deserving of recognition.
Thank you so much for your support. It genuinely means the world to me. ❤️
Ps: my name might be misspelt as Ashton but it is me
