Campaigning for you – NHBF Manifesto 2024
The NHBF launched its Manifesto 2024 for the next government in Parliament this week, ‘The value of hair and beauty: careers, communities, wellbeing’. At a roundtable in Parliament we had the opportunity to set out our positive vision for the future and asks of the next government. Discussions recognised the widespread value of the sector in terms of economic value and wellbeing. Leading business owners had the opportunity for 45min to speak to the Minister of State Kevin Hollinrake MP direct giving views on the government’s support to the sector and plans for the future.
The manifesto has also given us a platform for a continued dialogue with Labour too, with some of our manifesto themes reflected in their plans for the future’.
