The celebrations are in full swing as the Brian MacMillan and Kevin Paul Finnell have been unveiled as the winners of the very first recipient of the Kevin Paul Finnell Memorial Award, a fitting tribute to their Co-Founder who passed suddenly earlier this year.

Skills + Passion

Known for their incredible skill, passion for hairdressing and commitment to their clients and local community, the team from F&M hairdressing were announced as winners of this prestigious new award, which will now become part of the awards which are held annually.

Well Earned

The night itself was a well earned celebration for the businesses of Barrhead and the surrounding area, a chance to network and catch up with friends and fellow business owners, celebrate the hard work and achievements of the last 12months whilst breathing a sigh of relief that the covid pandemic is almost over.

Team Work

For the team at F&M Hairdressing, the event was missing someone special, Co-Founder Kevin Paul Finnell, who sadly passed away in February. The BID All About Barrhead Awards was an event Kevin loved attending and being a part of, and the team certainly did him proud.

Memorial

As the winners were being announced, the Board announced they would be introducing a new award, The Kevin Paul Finnell Memorial Award, a fitting tribute to one of the most loved and successful individuals to have graced the region. The team were absolutely overcome with emotion, and to a standing ovation, both Brian and Kevin were announced as the very first recipients – there was not a dry eye in the house.

Community Work

F&M Hairdressing Co-Founder and Kevin’s partner Brian MacMillan commented; to acknowledge the work Kevin and I have done for the community behind the scenes, and to be unveiled as the first recipients is an incredible honour. I cannot express my gratitude and thanks enough to the BID Board for this amazing tribute to Kevin. It will take pride of place in our salon forever more.”
