Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of PB & HJ’s Ireland Awards says: ‘The awards celebrate and recognise the often-unsung heroes who tirelessly lead and motivate teams, innovate to keep their clients engaged, and find ways to sustain their businesses. Alongside them, we honour the creative visionaries who capture beautiful imagery, showcasing their skills and passion for hair and beauty.’

Susan Fox, managing director of Eden Beauty Group won Business Director of the Year and Beauty Salon or Spa Team of the Year 2022. She says ‘We were lucky enough to win two awards in 2022 and it has had such a positive impact on our business. The perception of clients was that we were ‘everywhere’ and it cemented our place as one of the best clinics nationally. For myself, being named Business Director of the Year opened up so much opportunity for my distribution business. I am approached on a daily business by international brands who are impressed by the win and see my business as one they want to be associated with.’
