The Midland Hotel in the heart of Bradford is to play host to a unique event organised by the Hair and Beauty department of Bradford College.
On Monday 17th May Andrew Barton, best known for his amazing transformations on the show Ten Years Younger, and top make up artist for GMTV and Living TV Daniel Sandler will show off their talents to over 300 students and 100 local beauty businesses, teaching them how to achieve stylish and fashionable looks.
Kate Shepherd is the Event Sales Manger for the Midland hotel. “We were quick to jump at the chance to host such a high profile event. We are aware that the college has its own space, and so we take it as a big compliment that they wanted the event to be held here at the Midland.”
Nicola Lockwood, Head of Conference Leeds the super-convention bureau for Leeds and West Yorkshire said ‘With recent investment the Midland Hotel has been restored to its former Victorian splendour. Hosting high profile events such as this really puts Bradford and West Yorkshire on the Conference Organiser’s map and raises our profile across the UK meetings industry”.
Conference Leeds is supported by Welcome to Yorkshire and Yorkshire Forward, the Regional Development Agency.
