Fran Everest - who is working towards her level 3 NVQ.
Fran was nominated this month for her positive attitude, 100% attendance, always prepared for her lessons and always happy to support others.
Hairdressers need to be team players and this is something we teach at our academies. Team building events are great fun, as well as bringing learners of different ages, skills and levels together.
This month our team building session was to make a chair out of 25 balloons and a roll of tape, however the chair had to be strong enough for the trainer to sit on...the challenge was set!
The group was then put in to 2 teams and were given 30 minutes to make their chair. The winning team managed to use all 25 balloons and their chair actually did manage to resemble...a chair! It also held the trainers weight for 30 seconds. Well done team!
