Just thinking and reflecting on the year we have just had. This time last year we were about to fall into a lockdown that would last up until Easter. Four months not being able to work. It was trying and testing but we came through! We stuck together and zoomed! We kept it together with three zooms a week. If you scroll through my messages you will see just how busy we were.  Understanding Colour with Sarah and Julie, Cutting and Styling with Heather and Kate, colour presentations from Redken, Pulp Riot, Matrix, Wella, L’Oreal, Indola, Neil & Wolf, barbering with Simon Shaw.  We met Desmond Murray, Harriet Stokes and Vivienne Johns with a social media clinic, Kevin Sefton making tax look easy and Stephen McManus of Leaf scissors giving us an amazing deals for amazing scissors. We had it all!

Inspire! 2021 a great success as we watched online and finally Season Sensation when we had the chance to meet in person. Wow! how we had missed the live events!

Covid 19 has a lot to answer for but every cloud has a silver lining. On the plus side our zooming certainly brought us all together, we welcomed many new members and that has to be a good thing.

Now on the threshold of 2022 I can see it is going to be filled with exciting things for us. We will be working with new brands and this can only be good for all of us. Plus I am delighted that the FHA can now offer help for your businesses with Vivienne Johns and her the Social Media Clinic, Kevin Sefton who holds our hands through the maze of tax laws and the FHA has a Business Masterclass course to put you in the driving seat of your own business. It’s true FHA is the home of the freelancer and we have all you need to keep your business on track.
