I'm a member and yes I find it's worth it being a great support network as I am freelance. Our local branch rep organises training and seminars from Barbering through to First Aid (additional costs). We have our own FB page (closed) where we can share/network and rant if necessary... Plus you can use the logo. There's even a Christmas party!

Hi ladies
I too had a letter, I booked tickets for Inspirations 2014 in Northampton for 8th June, so was stunned when I received the letter as have paid £99 for my ticket plus £90 for my hotel room and £13.99 for my insurance this month. So I rang the hotel to see if they knew and she said she spoke to "Sheila" earlier in the week to confirm that the event is still going ahead under a different name... Freelance Hair federation (or similar)
So I guess we hang fire??

I also received that letter this morning and messaged Shelia on FB. Shelia wanted to know who had sent the letter so I sent her a photo of it.
I think our insurance should still be valid as it was not with the FHBF but a separate broker. I am going to call them on Monday and see what happens there.
As for memberships, inspirations tickets and training fees that anyone has paid the liquidators will own all of that now. Im not sure how head office will deal with that under a new company/charity as technically the liquidators own all of the ticket money etc for inspirations.
They must of known this was coming as the letter states as of 14th Feb it was taken over by liquidators. I only re joined in Feb so its disappointing they took money knowing this was happening.
I completely understand Shelia or any of head office would not be legally aloud to contact any of the members but I would of though a plan would of been in hand so that when this day came an independent person could of sent out an email notice to everyone or something?
The Facebook group has also been deleted and a new one formed under "Freelance Hairdressing Association" if you havent already, find it and join it.
Also remember to delete any of the FHBF images off your websites or marketing materials, you dont want to be associated with a company that has gone into liquidation.
Sad times :|

Yes cancel your direct debits if its to the FHBF as will go to liquidators not new company. If its for insurance and its direct to broker it should be okay. Call them and check though!

Type in... Freelance Hairdressing Association in the FB search bar at the top and it should come up? Its a closed group with 27 members so just submit a request to join. I could add you but have no idea who you are on there?
There is a message inside the group page as below:
From: Juliette Clark

They are keen to hear from you and anyone you know that is interested in being supported as a freelancing hairdresser.

Do you think the training you have booked will be honoured? I was about to book for Tim Hartley in Sept but glad I didn't now!
