Amanda JaneFRANCISIt is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that Amanda has passed away. She was born and grew up in Manchester and even before she left school worked in the Steiner Salon in Manchester as a Saturday Shampoo Girl. After leaving school in 1982 she became an apprentice and she worked full time for Steiner in the Manchester area. Amanda had her own idea of where she was going and was transferred to The Maritime Division. It wasn’t long before she became a Manager. Not only was she a wonderful salesperson, an incredible manager and motivator, but she was able to teach her skills to others. By 1989 she was promoted to Director of Training at Steiner Maritime. In 1996, when Steiner Leisure Limited became a public company, Amanda, as SVP Operations, having moved to Miami. She was visiting every ship, sailing on most of them, still combining this with overseeing training in Miami and London where she would run seminars on sales and boosting revenues. In 2010, she reluctantly gave up the position of SVP at the time of the birth of her beautiful twins, Sebastian and Oliver. She still continued for some time to visit Steiner ships’ salons to help with training and motivation She moved to St Andrew’s, Boca Raton to concentrate all her efforts to being an incredibly devoted and loving mother to her wonderful boys. We will all miss her very much. She made a significant difference to all of the lives of the people she came into contact with. Her parents, Valerie and David, will miss her terribly, as will her brother Mark, whom she always admired, his wife Anne and his three sons, Edward, Will and George, whose Godmother was Amanda. Amanda was a beautiful lady and inspired so many of us throughout her journey. Our hearts go out to all of her family and friends. Rest in Peace Amanda. With love from all the Steiner Staff xxxx
