Darren Manning

Began my career in ‘85 the old fashioned way, x5 years City and Guilds of London Indentured Apprenticeship in Hairdressing - x40 years on & still loving the people, the places, the energy & the opportunities. It’s been an exciting journey of development and privilege, helping grow, gain and retain some of our industries most iconic brands, world class hairdressers and the teams behind them. Probably one of the most incredibly rewarding roles I have had was with Wella Professionals, coaching and mentoring the education team in the UK. Working in this incredible industry has enabled me to provide my whole family the opportunity to live in another region in the world, Australia, where we have remained for the past eleven years. To fuel my creative side I am a passionate photographer and love to play the Sax, although not very well!
