Behind the Brand – ghd:

Seeing the gap in the market – 3 entrepreneurs from Leeds in the UK; Martin Penny, Gary Douglas and Robert Powls decided to acquire production and distribution rights for a high end, high quality flat iron. Robert Powls had previously worked as a hair stylist, salon manager and owned 3 hair salons and knew they could be on to a winner.

News of the versatility of this amazing styler spread, and soon everyone was talking about ghd. All the celebrities wanted ghd to be used on their hair including Madonna, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker. ghd was seen as the ultimate symbol of status and glamour.
