AWARD-WINNING MAGAZINE!

More than 300 people gathered in central London in February for the Trade Association Awards 2023. It was a fantastic night, and the NHBF is delighted to announce that salonfocus magazine won the Publication of the Year award.

Emily Wallace, chief executive of the Trade Association Forum and chair of the judging panel, said: ‘The judges loved the fresh feel to the publication, the way it was designed and edited with the busy salon owner in mind… A great example of an association member magazine.’

The whole team would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of the NHBF Members who contribute invaluable insight to the magazine. And if you haven’t yet, there’s now even more reason to answer those call-outs on Instagram (@nhbfsocial): as well as supporting other Members, you’ll be helping to raise your profile in an awardwinning magazine!
