The Hair & Beauty Charity appoints new President

Samantha Grocutt has been announced as elected President of The Hair & Beauty Charity for 2020.

Samantha, Managing Director of hair and beauty PR agency Essence PR, continues the role after her co-Presidency with outgoing co-President, Philip Sharp of ASP. She has served on the charity committee for over 12 years, both in its guises as The Hairdressers' Charity, and formerly The Hair and Beauty Benevolent, and has been instrumental in implementing and overseeing many successful fundraising initiatives during this time.

Established in 1853, The Hair & Beauty Charity supports hair and beauty professionals who have been affected by illness, disability, bereavement or financial hardship, receiving over 300 applicants for help each year.

Commenting on her appointment as President of The Hair & Beauty Charity, Samantha Grocutt says:

“It's a huge privilege to be continuing my role as President for 2020.  Our industry is tremendously giving and it's important to remember that not everyone is in a fortunate position…2020 is a big year for the charity, we need to raise at least £175,000 to support those in need and we are in desperate need for support of companies and individuals who are working in the professional hair and beauty sector.”
