EP63 – Edward Hemmings talks about training for students

Edward Hemmings took one day in March 2020 to translate the education offering at Alan D Hair into superbly successful online training. Wow! He tells Nicky Pope how the Covid Pandemic forced him to reassess the way his company works, and how social media – especially Tik Tok – has helped grow their reach massively. As creative director and head of education at Alan D – a company started by his father, hairdresser Alan Hemmings – Edward has a responsibility to ensure that hairdressing trainees and apprenticeships can continue to study and qualify. It’s not an easy task, but his approach and attitude is uplifting.
