Caroline Larissey has stepped down from the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP).
Larissey’s involvement with the JCCP was originally through a previous work role at The Hair and Beauty Industry Authority (Habia) as head of quality and standards, which led to her being invited to be a trustee in a personal capacity as recognition of her contribution and commitment to raising standards in non-surgical cosmetics.
She said, “During my tenure at the JCCP, I had the privilege of supporting its creation and serving as a trustee. The UK hair and beauty sector is vibrant and dynamic, empowering individuals, promoting self-expression, and contributing to overall well-being and self-care. With a substantial £4.6 billion contribution to the UK economy, the sector plays a vital role in driving footfall to high streets, supporting jobs, and fuelling growth nationwide. As I step down from this role, I am excited to focus my efforts on championing the voice of the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) and the wider beauty sector.”
The NHBF remains dedicated to supporting its Members and the sector in navigating the implementation of the Health and Social Care Act and any resulting licensing scheme.
David Sines, chair of the JCCP, expressed his gratitude for Caroline’s invaluable contributions, highlighting her support, patience, and perseverance during challenging times. He wishes her the very best in her future endeavours and reaffirms the JCCP’s respect and commitment to supporting the sector.
