Meet the Pack Leaders at Awesome Pride & Groom

Hi, I'm Frankie – animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. As an award-winning dog groomer, I’ve trained alongside some of the industry’s finest, including members of Groom Team England. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of preparing top-tier gundogs for Crufts and taking home wins at grooming competitions myself. But grooming is just part of the picture. At Awesome Pride & Groom, I’m passionate about delivering a complete, compassionate service for every dog – whether that’s a show-worthy groom, a comfortable stay in our home-from-home boarding, or a safe, reliable ride in our pet taxi. I also donate my time to charity grooms, because giving back is part of who we are.

And I’m Graham. I joined the army in 1996 and served on the front lines in Afghanistan, experiencing the kind of challenges that shape you for life. After being medically discharged in 2006 due to an injury, I eventually found a new mission – one that brings me just as much purpose: caring for dogs.

Three years ago, Frankie and I launched Awesome Pride & Groom, blending her grooming expertise with my love of the outdoors and dedication to animal care. I'm currently studying for a degree in animal behaviour and bring a professional, attentive approach to every walk, ensuring each dog gets the stimulation, exercise, and enrichment they need – whether it's a slow sniff-and-stroll or a 10K countryside
adventure.
