Bradley Proctor – Barbering Apprentice
For Bradley, taking the leap in to an apprenticeship was an easy choice. Interested in developing his barbering skills and getting qualified, a HITO apprenticeship allowed him to work in a real barbershop and learn at the same time.
“I love creating connections and relationships with clients,” says Bradley. “If I can make someone’s day one percent better by giving them a great haircut or having an interesting conversation – that’s a job well done.”
As the winner of 2020 Barbering Apprentice of the Year, Bradley showed wisdom beyond his years, a strong journey and the understanding of what it takes to be a great barber. Bradley believes this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the support of his workplace, who pride themselves on employing fully qualified barbers.
Now a fully qualified barber himself, Bradley believes an apprenticeship is a no brainer. “Just do it! Develop your skills and gain an internationally recognized qualification at the same time.”
