The Fellowship For British Hairdressing Announces Fifth Centre Of Excellence

The Fellowship for British Hairdressing is delighted to announce HOST as it’s fifth Centre of Excellence. Located in the heart of Manchester, HOST is a creative hub with multifunctional spaces that are suited to hair and beauty professionals, educators, brands, and businesses.

HOST will become one of the Fellowship’s innovative spaces for hosting education and training days for hairdressers and barbers within the Fellowship.

HOST is a unique blend of traditional salon and an innovative educational and events brand neutral space, co-founded by Sarah Louise Keane and Peter Tobolski. This announcement comes following HOST’s active relationship with The Fellowship for British Hairdressing. Members of the Fellowship can become members of HOST and make full access to their facilities, where they can also rent a space to work from. Fellowship members will also be invited to education events, networking opportunities and product launches held at HOST.

The facilities of the establishment were also inspected to ensure they were of the highest standards to provide an excellent salon space for hairdressers, barbers, and students to create, collaborate and develop.

Delighted with the new Centre of Excellence, CEO for The Fellowship for British Hairdressing, Barry Stephens, said: “We are elated to have HOST as our fifth centre of excellence. It has become one of the most established and recognised creative hubs in the UK, known for its multifunctional spaces that are suited to hair professionals, educators, brands, and businesses. We look forward to working with them further and giving members more opportunities to develop their hairdressing skills and knowledge.”

The official launch of the Fellowship’s fifth Centre of Excellence will take place on the 6th of October 2025 at HOST Manchester – Ducie House, 35 Ducie St, Manchester M1 2JW. For more information or to buy tickets, please visit the Fellowship website – https://fellowshiphair.com/.
