🎤 NHBF CEO, Richard Lambert was interviewed by Salma El Wardany on BBC Radio London earlier this week. He discussed the rising cost of energy and how it is affecting hairdressers and beauty therapists around the UK. He explained that energy is often the biggest overhead for a salon and the price increases are putting more and more of them under pressure. We also talked about potential energy saving measures and the likelihood of consumers changing their behaviour as the cost of living crisis squeezes their disposable income. The NHBF is calling for a package of measures to support small and micro businesses, including an energy price cap, emergency grant support for the next six months and flexible payment plans from the energy companies. #nhbf #nationalhairandbeautyfederation #energycrisis #costoflivingcrisis #costofliving #hairandbeauty #hairandbeautyindustryuk #hairdresseruk #beautyuk #beautytherapistuk
