Harry & Manu , 13 Dec 2018 I knew we were onto something when we first met the Benchmark team.  They knew exactly what we should look at as an investment. They showed us a couple of salons but highlighted the one that they thought would best suit our needs and they are now helping me find the next one! Their knowledge is second to none and they worked through every step with you and explained it all as we went! I know that Benchmark will help us further with building our brand and adding to our portfolio. Thanks Benchmark  Benchmark Salon Sales
