Haringtons announce new uk creative director

Haringtons has appointed Barry Maddocks as their new UK creative director after joining the company in October 2020. Haringtons, which now has 10 salons located in the South Of England, pride themselves on providing clients with a highly personalised ad bespoke service. Established in 1984, Haringtons have recently unveiled their new vision, centring around inclusivity – focusing on real men and women, with a touch of luxury. As the new UK creative director, Barry has the vision to deliver continuous learning, creative skills and the highest level of customer service for the brand. With previous achievements including finalising in Wella Trend Vision and the British Hairdressing Awards, alongside being part of The X- Factor Hair Team, Barry is bringing a large set of expertise to the position. “I am absolutely delighted to be appointed as the new UK Creative Director for Haringtons, it really is a dream come true. When joining back in October 2020, we were in the middle of a global pandemic, but I was excited about the challenge and to share my skills and knowledge with those around me. The team are incredible, and I am really excited to see what future opportunities lie ahead for myself, the Creative Team and the wider Harington’s team,” said Barry. The group of salons were established by Robert Smith and later merged with salons ran by David lambert. After the industry took a hit during the pandemic, the brand is focused on building their creative team up and making up for the lost time. “2020 was, without doubt, the toughest time for our industry; early on we made the decision to invest in Haringtons, readying us for the future. Through focusing on a new vision, brand and service development, as well as comprehensive training for the team, we’ve seen our efforts beginning to have an impact. We’re now well placed to turn our attention to our creative approach; appointing Barry Maddocks as our UK Creative Director is the next step in our exciting journey. Focused on inspiration and inclusivity for the next generation of hairdressing superstars, Barry will be encouraging and nurturing our talent to ensure Haringtons continues to go from strength to strength,” said Robert Smith. Barry aims to build a new creative team on an annual basis for the brand, ensuring that collections stay current and the salons’ group of experts continue to grow.
