Our Story

Alan Howard was established in 1973 by Alan Crawford, an ex Wella Sales Representative, and Howard Littler, hairdresser, trichologist and part-time lecturer, in Stockport.

The business quickly gained a loyal and widespread customer base across Greater Manchester.

1975 saw the company’s first leap in expanding as we took over an existing business in Oldham which shortly after relocated to where our Oldham store is today. Over the next 20 years, Alan Howard rapidly grew, opening sites across the North West, over the Pennines to Yorkshire and down into the West Midlands.

In 1982, Alan & Howard went on to open a ceramics factory, Woodbank Ceramics, based at Alan Howard Stockport and were one of the first UK businesses to make salon basins in 20 different colours. The business is now known as Chatsworth Ceramics.

Today Alan Howard is chaired by original founder, Howard Littler, alongside his sons, Jonathan and Anton.

Today

  • We have 25 stores
  • We have 50+ BDMs
  • We have over 320 employees
  • We have 7 training academies
