Hairdressers celebrate at fellowship luncheon 2014

A host of hairdressers were recognised at the Fellowship Luncheon 2014 - the event which, for many, kicks off Christmas for the industry. As well as naming a new FAME Team for 2015, the glitzy lunch also saw Andrew Collinge honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award and Guy Kremer named Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year. The Fellowship for British Hairdressing hosts the festive lunch and awards at the Dorchester Hotel each year in recognition of those individuals and companies who contribute their time, skills and efforts to both the Fellowship and British hairdressing as a whole - both in front of, and behind the scenes. Host for the day, Fellowship President Errol Douglas MBE, Errol said: "Our membership is growing year on year, our calendar of events is exceptional and our dynamic sponsors continue to be incredibly supportive. We are also consistently supported by our dedicated Fellowship Council who offer their time for free – thank you all for your commitment." [hji-gallery-legacy] New Chairman Hellen Ward added: "In 2003 we ran just 19 events in the course of the year, but in 2014 we ran 96 which equates to almost two per week – and all across a broad breadth of artistic, creative and business education. "Thank you for your continued belief in us as an organisation, for your attendance at our events, the contributions you all make to our success, your unique support (and your subscriptions!), as well as your input into our future. You truly represent the cream of British hairdressing." And the winners were...
