The hair and beauty industry came together in a remarkable display of camaraderie and generosity on Tuesday 13th June at the 2nd highly anticipated Hair and Beauty Charity & HBSA Golf Day, raising over £6,000 to help our colleagues who have fallen on the hardest of times.
The Golf Day took place at the breath-taking Hellidon Lakes Golf Resort in Daventry. This exceptional event featured 13 teams representing some of the industry’s most renowned organisations. They all joined forces to raise funds for the Hair and Beauty Charity.
The participating teams, including industry giants HBSA, KAO, Schwarzkopf, Wella, Salon Distribution Concepts, Procare, K18, Barkers, Salonology, L’Oreal, Create Images, Alan Howard and The Gallery Hairdressing, showcased their golfing skills throughout the day. With friendly competition and a shared commitment to supporting their industry, the event was a tremendous success.
A three course meal and award ceremony followed the golf, where KAO Corporation’s Grant Cooper claimed the “Best Individual” prize and won “Longest Drive”. KAO’s exceptional teamwork also secured them the coveted “Best Team” award, sponsored by Schwarzkopf in memory of Peter Belcher. Procare’s Chris Burridge won the “Nearest the Pin” competition on Hole 18 winning a £500 Selfridges voucher, and Barker’s Chris Barker clinched the “Nearest the Bin” challenge, displaying his remarkable accuracy at chipping a ball made of hair foils into a ‘Recycle My Salon’ bin.
Lorenzo Colangelo from The Gallery generously donated a pair of Chelsea match tickets for any game this season. These were successfully auctioned during the event. Peter Van Agnew from the Hair & Beauty Suppliers Association secured the tickets for £500.
