“Membership of BABTAC is an essential part of my business, both as a salon owner and trainer.  My customers and students recognise the BABTAC insignia as a promise of excellence and a commitment to the highest professional standards; an assurance that comes from belonging to one of the UK’s most respected and influencial industry bodies”.

Andy Rouillard,  Axiom Bodyworks

“I became a BABTAC Member immediately after I qualified which was only a few years after BABTAC was founded!  I was and still am very proud to be a member.  BABTAC has been a shining light in the world of beauty therapy and has offered its members continuous support, ongoing education, knowledge and expertise.  The association has always represented our industry and their members in a hard working, professional and dedicated manner upholding the highest standards of excellence and integrity in all they do.  BABTAC Membership offers the reassurance of insurance with a highly respected and professional insurance group as well as an aura of kudos as consumers recognise and trust the name of the longest established, largest, not for profit trade association in the beauty industry”.

Elaine Stoddart, Sterex Electrolysis International

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who made our 2010 Awards a spectacular event and a massive congratulations to all the winners! It was wonderful to see old friends and meet with new contacts and of course meet with members and talk about the industry in the stunning setting that is the London Kensington Roof Gardens.

We also had a surprise award to present to a special person on the day, the ‘Lifetime Award to the Holistic and Beauty Industry’ which was presented to Eve Taylor for all of her amazing work in the industry. Eve commented after winning her award, “Well, it is such a surprise. I thought I was being invited as a past chairman, it is a wonderful surprise – I’ve got butterflies inside.”
