Corporate Associate Membership

Campaigning for mandatory state registration for the hair and barber industries, our Corporate Associate membership enables companies, stakeholders, manufacturers, wholesalers, awarding bodies, FE Colleges, and any business linked in some way to the hair and barber industry, to join and support us to get Government to effect change to regulate the industry.

The development of this membership will ensure The Hair and Barber Council truly does have the ‘industry’ as a whole supporting this aim and will thus, strengthen our position considerably.

Corporate membership means that the Company or Business will be the member, not any one individual and is very much a supportive role to The Hair and Barber Council.
