Says Errol: "It's an amazing honour to be awarded the MBE, but I've received for it my industry, not for me personally. It gives inspiration to young hairdressers who want to get into the profession, and it furthers what I'm doing in my industry to raise its profile as a fantastic profession to work in. For me, it's all about education, passing on what I know to the people I train, and helping young people to achieve their hairdressing career dreams. The whole day was quite surreal, but absolutely brilliant!"
