My names Victoria Quinlan originally born in Stockport, Manchester, raised in West Yorkshire and now I live in the beautiful countryside of saddleworth. I trained to be dance and musical theatre performer at Doreen Bird College and graduated with 1st class honours later discovering my love for dogs. During my time training in London, I suffered a really bad hip injury which lead to a hip arthroscopy surgery due to a labral tear and impingement meaning I have to retake my 2nd year again. With a lot of training and discipline, I gained back my strength, fitness and flexibility and can proudly say I won the Miss England sportswoman round for 2025. I love going on hikes with my partner and have accomplished Snowdon, Crig Goch, helvellyn via striding edge and scafell pike all tricky hikes.

My whole experience with dancing and pageants has brought me a lot of modeling opportunities and I’ve recently just walked Paris fashion week and will be walking Cheshire fashion week.

My journey working with animals began during Covid lockdown, I was offered a job as a veterinary assistant. I’ve always had a love for animals but mainly found my passion for dogs at a young age. I gained so much knowledge and soon realised this was the career path that felt at home with me. I started as a Dog Groomer in 2021, I completed a 12 week intense course gaining a level 2 & 3 City and Guilds qualification. From this I went on to getting my first dog grooming job and developed my experience for 6 months until I finally made the move to go self employed and run a business of my own.

 

Dog Grooming brings me the most rewarding feeling, seeing the transformations and satisfied clients. It can be challenging at times due to different behaviours, matted dogs and dogs that have been through trauma but it’s all worth while when the end result creates a lot of waggy tails!

My work with The Camp Beagle started during my journey to coming Miss Manchester 2025. Spreading as much awareness as possible about the testing on beagles for drugs and toxicology. In my journey to becoming Miss England I hope I can make a difference to this and hope we see this act stopped within the UK and Worldwide.

I will be entering the talent round for miss england to bring out the retired dancer in me as this was my first ever passion being a little girl. The Echo-fashion to help promote the use of using vintage clothing to create great styles instead of buying new and quick fashion. The Bare face round as I believe that beauty comes from confidence within and we should celebrate this!
