Shropshire business owner recognised among top business owners under 30

The prestigious Creative Head Most Wanted It List Awards recognise individuals under 30 who have demonstrated exceptional business acumen, innovation, talent and creativity in the hair and beauty industry. Brooke's dedication to her craft and her commitment to excellence have earned her this well-deserved recognition.

Brooke previously took home the title of Entrepreneur of the Year in 2020 after the salon was faced with adversity during its first few years of opening. The salon was forced to close shortly after opening due to flooding and then later due to coronavirus however, Brooke and the team have successfully managed to turn the fate of the salon around and to date the salon has a string of accolades under its belt recognising the salons creativity, as well as its commitment to the industry and to its hometown.

BE Ironbridge is dedicated to serving its local community from using local suppliers to acting as a community hub for Ironbridge residents. This year, Brooke expanded the business and the client offering at BE Ironbridge to include a tattoo studio, make-up artist and nail technician which led to the creation of bespoke bridal packages.

Brooke and the other four finalists will head to London’s Tate Modern Museum in September when the awards ceremony takes place.

BE Ironbridge owner, Brooke Evans shared her delight at securing a finalist place: “To be recognised as a successful business owner is a massive achievement, because this nomination isn’t about just me, it’s about the team and the business which is something I’m really proud of. I’ve committed myself to growing a successful business which supports the local community and impacts the industry that we work in, so to be recognised again among the top five business owners under 30 for the second time running is something I won’t forget.”
