The NHF and the NBF Appoint Hellen Ward as First Beauty Ambassador
October 2018
Today it has been announced that Hellen Ward, Anne Veck and Christian Wiles will become new industry ambassadors for the NHF and the NBF. They will take on the high-profile role of motivating and inspiring members across the UK to build successful and profitable businesses. All three ambassadors will be making their debut at the NHF’s Business Awards on Sunday 04 November. Visit nhf.info/nhfbusinessawards for more information.
Hellen Ward, MD of Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa, Vice President of the British Association of Women Entrepreneurs, and a regular beauty writer will be the NBF’s first Beauty Ambassador. Hellen comments, “I have always championed the NHF 100%. There hasn’t been a voice that truly crosses over between hair and beauty, but that’s where the National Beauty Federation will help. It's brilliant news that the NBF will be providing the same valuable support for beauty salons. It’s fantastic to be part of that journey.”
Hilary Hall, NHF and NBF chief executive, said “Our ambassadors have a wealth of industry knowledge, experience and expertise that they plan to share with our Members over the coming year.
“The aim of the ambassadors is to make a real difference to individual hair and beauty businesses by injecting fresh passion, new ideas and innovative ways of working that could potentially transform salons and barbershops.
“We can’t wait for them to meet our Members at our Business Awards event and to see everything we have planned for the ambassadors come to fruition – it’s going to be a very exciting year!”
