Why We’re Hosting This Day in Basingstoke


The Clipit Hub that provides local dog groomer training was created as a space to support the entire grooming community — from students just starting out to fully qualified groomers looking to grow their knowledge.


We know how important it is for students to learn from real-world demonstrations and to experience professional-grade equipment firsthand. For grooming tutors and colleges, this day offers an excellent opportunity to enrich your students’ education outside the classroom to boost your dog grooming skills.


For professionals, it’s a chance to connect with others in the trade, see the latest Clipit innovations, and gain deeper insight into equipment care and coat science — all in a friendly, collaborative environment.

The Clipit Hub in Basingstoke, was created as a space for groomers — a place to connect, learn, and grow together. We know how isolating it can sometimes feel working alone in a salon or on the road, and we wanted to open our doors to our local community.

We’ll also have exclusive on-the-day offers, new product demos, and time to browse the shop or chat with our team about your equipment, sharpening, or business needs.
