Salon software company Timely has announced a significant financial relief package for the UK hair and beauty industry. Timely is calling on other industry suppliers to step up and do more to help during this latest lockdown. Timely has provided over £370,000 to more than 15,000 businesses during the lockdown and has proactively extended this relief in the UK and Ireland for a further 3 months while salons are unable to trade. In addition to relief for existing customers, Timely is now giving its platform away for free for the duration of the lockdown.

Mille Kendell MBE, CEO, British Beauty Council has welcomed the announcement. “Timely has supported the UK beauty industry throughout the pandemic and this next step is incredibly important and generous. It will help to support the mental wellbeing of our members and wider industry. Timely’s contribution and partnership with the British Beauty Council, will help our industry get back on their feet faster when we are able to re-open.”
