The National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) has scooped three accolades at the National Association Awards.
The awards recognise the hard work and success of associations, federations, chambers, societies and membership organisations across 12 categories covering all sectors in the UK.
The NHBF is a membership organisation for the hair and beauty sectors that has supported both its members and the wider industry extensively through times of uncertainty, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic. It was recognised as a Gold winner for Best Membership Organisation (1,000 – 10,000) and for Best Social Media. It achieved a silver award for Best Covid Response.
“To be recognised in three different categories at the National Association Awards is something we’re very proud of – especially as the Best Membership Organisation,” comments Richard Lambert, chief executive, National Hair & Beauty Federation.
“We’re online now more than ever, which is why winning the Gold award for Best Social Media and the Silver award for Best Covid Response is a huge achievement.”
“The past year has been hard for our industry and, as always, our members and non members are looking to our social media channels to provide them with guidance and information to assist them during the pandemic.
“To be recognised for our commitment to helping the industry get back on its feet during such a time, really means a lot to everyone involved and associated with the Federation. This recognition reinforces the importance of the work that we do, which includes all our team over the last year, in supporting the hair and beauty industry.”
A spokesperson for the National Association Awards adds: “The judges were unanimous in their respect for how valuable the NHBF is to its members, the hard work undertaken to keep the whole hair & beauty industry informed and the real financial support they helped deliver during the past year.
“To be recognised in three categories, and take home two Gold awards further reinforces the importance of the NHBF and the impact that it has on the industry.”
