Career Insights a podcast series brought to you by British Beauty Council
2021-03-05
The negative impact of the pandemic on students and those aspiring to a career in the beauty industry has been huge. Many in the industry have been furloughed or laid off, while those studying for a career in the beauty industry have had to continue their studies online. Universities and colleges across the UK are planning to deliver a virtual curriculum, with little if any face-to-face contact. This will make motivation more challenging, particularly with less exposure to industry guest lecturers, who normally provide inspiration to students during their studies.
In response to these issues, the British Beauty Council is launching a podcast series hosted by our President of Pillar, Education, Elizabeth Barnett-Lawton, featuring interviews with some of the biggest names in the hair and beauty industry to discover how they have got to where they are today. From key lessons learnt along the way, to what advice they would give their younger selves, this podcast series aims to educate and motivate those starting out in the industry or wanting a career change.
Make sure you are signed up as a or patron to access this series.

China Britain Beauty Festival
2021-03-02 - 2021-03-23
Exporting to China has always been challenging for British beauty brands because of the need for animal testing. However, on 3 January 2020, the China State Council announced the approval of revised cosmetics regulations, outlining requirements for animal testing exemption. Once the new regulations begin on 1 May 2021, it will be possible for British brands with ethical considerations within their core values to access China’s huge market and consumer base, which is expected to be worth around £50Bn by the end of this year.
The conditions for exemption remain a challenge, and the British Government is close to a solution for British brands to comply with China’s new safety requirements. The Department for International Trade (DIT) is hosting a beauty festival to walk through these changes and the wider opportunities in China, starting with a webinar series and leading up to a British Pavilion at the China Beauty Expo (CBE), Shanghai.
Open to all, the webinar series will feature seven targeted sessions delivered by industry experts starting from 2 March 2021, covering all key aspects of China beauty from navigating China’s regulatory changes and how to comply with new regulations to the market segment’s landscape and consumer trends.
For more information please see below. You can also reach out to us at:DITChinaRetail@fco.gov.uk with any questions.

INSTA LIVE - Wellbeing Workshop: The importance of men's mental health & wellbeing
2021-02-04 18:00 - 18:30
Join us on Thursday 4th February at 6pm for an Instagram Live with Mental Health Campaigner Ben West, and Founder of Lions Barber Collective Tom Chapman.

Date: Thursday 4th February
Time: 18:00
Place: Instagram Live (@britishbeautycouncil)

Do you think barbers play an important role in improving people’s self confidence and empowering men?

Who is Ben West?

At just 20 years old Ben has already won a Pride of Britain Award, The Diana Award and the Mental Health Hero Award as part of the The Sun Who Cares initiative. He has also spoken on numerous national and local news outlets contributing to the national conversation around mental health awareness.

The sudden and unexpected loss of his brother to suicide two years ago propelled Ben to take positive action from this tragedy and concentrate his pain into a drive to campaigning around mental health awareness, suicide prevention and fundamentally changing how we approach mental health, especially in schools and the education system.

His previous petition, calling for mandatory training in mental health first aid for all educators, garnered over 300,000 signatures and his most recent petition, to hold universities to account over mental health standards, is quickly gathering momentum.

Who is Tom Chapman?

Advisory Board Member Tom Chapman is an award winning hairdresser turned documentary maker, author, public speaker, international educator, brand developer, husband and father.

Tom started his career with Toni & Guy in 2002 as a hairdresser, and taught himself barbering because of his love for mens hair and alternative hair styles. He opened Tom Chapman Hair Design in Torquay, UK in 2011 and began educating 2 years later.

In September 2015 Tom founded The Lions Barber Collective, which started as a group of international barbers raising awareness for suicide prevention. It has since developed to become much more and now campaigns for the awareness of mental wellbeing and suicide prevention as well, believing that the barbershop is a great, safe place for men to talk, and through BarberTalk he hopes to train hair professionals across the globe to Recognise, Ask, Listen and Help those in their chairs.

What will the Wellbeing Workshop cover?

Ben and Tom will be having an open and honest discussion about the role hair and beauty professionals play in the health and wellbeing of their clients. The discussion will cover the importance of talking as well as the work of the Lions Barber Collective.

Join us this Time To Talk Day, 4th February, for a compelling Instagram Live!
