Close shave for Mayor
Mayor of Bedford Dave Hodgson took time off from his
busy schedule for a 60-second make-over at Bedford College's
BROOKS hair and beauty spa.
More used to business meetings with Bedford
College Chief Executive Ian Pryce, the Mayor instead met Alison
Barradell, Assistant Director of Hair, Beauty & Complimentary Therapies and
some of her talented team.
He had a beard trim and tidy courtesy of
barber student Tony, and a relaxing hand massage and manicure from
two top beauty therapy experts – before dashing off to yet more
important meetings.
"I met some students in town on 11 November
when they were promoting Colleges' Week in the Harpur Shopping Centre and
decided I would like to take a closer look at BROOKS," said the
Mayor.
Bedford College is proud to be a member and
major contributor to the town centre BedfordBID fund and
through that the local economy. Ian Pryce is chair of the
BedfordBID which is currently working with the council to try and
secure grant funding for High Street improvements.
The College has plans to move BROOKS to a High
Street location in 2010 where students will be able
to gain work experience in a brand new, fully equipped
commercial environment.
