Habb launches its honours awards

The industry charity the Hair & Beauty Benevolent (HABB) has announced the opening of the nominations for the 2011 HABB Honours Awards.

The awards show support for both hair and beauty professionals in a time of need and want to recognise and honour amazing people in the industry who have done extraordinary things.

HABB would like to hear about people working in the hair and beauty industry who deserve recognition by their peers for overcoming personal difficulties themselves, or helping others. The two awards include:

1. The Outstanding Courage Award: this focuses on those who have overcome a difficulty themselves

2. The Compassionate Caring Award: this focuses on those who have gone that extra step for others

The nominee could be someone who has overcome some sort of medical issue, personal circumstance or learning difficulty.  Or the nominee may do something amazing in the community - they may have devoted themselves to a parent or child but still managed to work, or they may have raised lots of money for a local charity.  The list is open ended - whatever it is, it has to be inspirational. Entries can nominate themselves or others can nominate on their behalf.

The HABB Honours Awards will be presented at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Presidents Night on Monday 28th March 2011.  The closing date for entries is Monday 28th February 2011.  Shortlisted nominees will be invited to attend the event in London.
