Glasgow
In the Winter of 2014, Pole Place opened its first studio just South of London
in West Sussex. A second studio followed shortly after north of the border in
the heart of Glasgow’s city centre. Founded by Ruby Rose Jackson in her hometown
of Horsham, Pole Place’s original home was on the second floor of a popular bar
on Piries Place - B52’s. Ruby had long dreamt of opening her own Pole studio
having become hooked years earlier. Qualifying as an instructor, and with an
ever-growing Pole skillset combined with a natural passion for teaching and
inspiring those around her the initial idea of Pole Place was firmly at the
visionary stage. Like any new business, funding was required to move it from the
ideas stage to cutting the ribbon. With the studio as the inspiration Ruby began
to fly as cabin crew with British Airways. Without revealing the un-glamorous
side to air travel, on many random nights in many random places, hotel rooms all
around the world became Ruby’s office - any spare minute she could find would go
into business planning, designing, developing and creating her dream - Pole
Place. Her dedication eventually paid off and she was able to leave her
full-time post flying to finally open Pole Place’s studio doors. Pole Place
initially began with a handful of clients. Steadily growing within the first
couple of years, the Horsham studio later moved into our larger, current home on
Church Street in Warnham. In 2016, a change in Ruby’s personal life presented
her with a family move to Scotland. This gave way for an ideal opportunity to
open a Pole Place sister venue on West Nile Street in Glasgow’s city centre
which provides our Scottish “hame”! At Pole Place, we are extremely proud to
have created a safe space for anyone to come and step out of their comfort zone
and into an exciting new world. Where hair is flicked, confidence is boosted and
dreams are made. Growing over the years, we have had the pleasure of teaching
thousands of clients across both our studios. With nine instructors within our
team, we are honoured to provide support and inspiration to all of our clients.
From teaching the basics to mastering tricks, giving new skills, confidence and
empowering one another. You can be anyone you want to be in the studio with zero
judgement and only encouragement from all of the Pole Place Family.
