Bradenham groomer launches home salon

Groomer Emma Donlan has started taking clients for her business, Scruffs 2 Crufts, based at her home near Bradenham, Norfolk. 

Dolan, who was a nursery nurse for 20 years, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer as lockdown started and took the opportunity to train to be a groomer – something she had always wanted to do. 

Once qualified, she moved with her family to Norfolk, and decided to open a salon in her garden. 

Donlan told the Dereham Times: “I thought that while the dogs are waiting to be seen, they could play and run around while their owners have a cup of tea and a chat.”
