Eco-Entrepreneur takes out top honours at Schwarzkopf hair awards

The Easydry team are celebrating their win at this year's Schwarzkopf Hair Expo 2010, after Gavin Hinton received the Entrepreneur of the Year award for his work with Easydry Australia & New Zealand.  The award recognises product innovation, integrity, sales and execution of a business in Australia over the last 12 months. Easydry has developed a single-use biodegradable towel that saves hair salons from having to wash and dry towels in the salon saving them thousands litres of water and paying for the ever increasing electricity bills.

Easydry customers, who are mostly Australia’s best hair salons like Toni & Guy, Sublime Salons in Brisbane are the true winners though, saving over 4 million litres of water this year alone, and reducing their laundry bills by up to 30%! 

Easydry within just 12 months of being established in Australia now also exclusively supplies L’Oreal Professionnel, Matrix, Redken, Wella, PPS, American Crew and Kerastase academies across Australia.  

"Why did we win? I think it is two things, firstly our customers are our main consideration when developing new products. They need to solve real business issues and simplify salon life, allowing  Easydry customers to focus on their clients.  Easydry have designed, manufactured and distributed eco-towels for the last 5 years and will continue to innovate for the hair sector in Australia and globally.   Initiating events like www.pinkme10.com in Australia also gives our clients a simple yet practical way that they can make a difference in the salon with their staff and also their clients, and they appreciate that we are an outward focused company trying to make a difference where we can, with groups like the McGrath Foundation.

Secondly, I think it is because we have won their trust. We are have proven our environmental credentials. We have even have won 2 environmental awards in the last 12 months alone" says Gavin Hinton General Manager of Easydry Aus & NZ. 

“I would like to sincerely thank all our customers for their support and trust in us, and I promise that they will always be our focus” Gavin says.
