World Renowned Hairdresser, Errol Douglas MBE

Multi-award winning and world-renowned hairdresser Errol Douglas MBE discusses how he believes hard work and natural flair for styling has been the key to his long term success. Although an ambassador for leading brands, such as Dyson and Living Proof, and former President of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing, Errol explains why his new role with NHS Blood Transplant could be his most important to date. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is not always the case that we choose careers. Sometimes, both in business and life, careers choose us. Sometimes we merely answer the call that comes from inside, and follow our instincts. Setbacks can often act as the ignition switch to push ourselves harder. Challenges are lessons learned, and barriers only make us want to push harder. Sometimes the clothes we wear and looks we adopt act as our armour - our unique identity. Presentation is everything. After so many generations, it is incredible to think that anyone in this world has to fight for their place in it. Equality should be expected, not earned.
