Habb hosts an absolutely fabulous breakfast

HABB recently held its second Women's Networking Breakfast with PR guru Lynne Franks the main attraction.

Lynne shared tales of her career with some 50 movers and shakers from the hair and beauty industries, with ticket sales raising £1,135 for the charity.

The event, which was hosted by the Wella World Studio in London, saw Lynne interviewed by former HABB president Hellen War, co-owner of Richard War Hair & Metrospa. Lynne engaged the audience with an in-depth profile of her career from setting up a PR company aged just 21 to being one of the most respected media consultants in the world.

One of Lynne's main passions is encouraging women to network - this has been the inspiration behind her company SEED (Sustainable Enterprise and Empowerment Dynamics), which provides women learning and coaching programmes on economic empowerment, sustainable business practices and creative leadership.

The breakfast concluded with a raffle, with prizes including a set of Lynne Franks' own self-motivating books.

Speaking on the day, HABB vice president, Joanna Hansford said: "Lynne has been a real force in the world of media. Everyone left the breakfast buzzing with enthusiasm and feeling focussed."

The next HABB Women's Networking Breakfast will be held on 6 July and will feature beauty editor, Josephine Fairley.
