With our awards we think it's important to recognise organisations that are bringing something new and innovative to their marketplace.

We feel that MissionHair ticks all the boxes and are worthy winners of our award. The awards are clearly no accident and will come as no surprise to anybody that has used the salon.

China Walks a Line in U.S. Trade Talks, Trying Not to Overplay Its Hand
In its high-stakes trade talks with the United States, China has been trying to strike a balance in how it wields its market clout. It controls the world's supply of rare earth metals and magnets. And it has withheld supplies of the materials — crucial ingredients in everything from cars to fighter jets — as leverage. At the same time, Beijing knows it must not overplay its hand by pushing Washington so hard that the United States feels compelled to make the long-term investments needed to break its dependence on China. This delicate dynamic was underlined in an apparent compromise the countries reached on Tuesday in London. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said China's negotiators had agreed to resume sending rare earths to American companies. The Chinese government did not confirm this. But on Wednesday afternoon, the JL Mag Rare-Earth Company, a leading magnet producer in Ganzhou, China, said in a public disclosure that it had been issued licenses by China's Ministry of Commerce for sales of nonmilitary magnet exports to the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia. China has a long history of using government policy to control markets, periodically flooding countries with very low-priced Chinese supplies. That has driven many of China's overseas rare earth competitors out of business. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

The cheap foreign meat flooding Britain's supermarket shelves: Farmers' fury over rise in beef and chicken imports from countries 'with lower animal welfare standards'
Cheaper chicken and beef from Australia, Poland and Uruguay is being increasingly seen at UK supermarkets, angry British farmers warned today. Chains such as Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Asda are importing meat from countries with lower animal welfare standards, according to the National Farmers' Union. Sirloin steak from Australia, raw chicken from Poland, sirloin and ribeye steaks from Uruguay and wagyu beef from New Zealand have all been spotted on UK shelves. Supermarkets are being accused of a 'huge betrayal of the UK's hard-working family farms' as they try to source cheaper imports to help keep their prices down. The NFU said the shift comes at a time when farmers in Britain already face an 'unprecedented number of challenges' amid concerns over recent trade deals. The union also pointed out that British livestock farmers adhere to robust standards, with consumers advised to look for the Red Tractor logo carrying the Union Jack. The UK has an animal welfare standards ranking far above all the other countries - listed as B, according to the World Animal Protection's Animal Protection Index. This is compared to C for Poland and New Zealand and D for Uruguay and Australia. Morrisons, which sponsors TV show Clarkson's Farm, is now selling raw chicken and Australian beef – the latter of which was made possible by Liz Truss's much-criticised post-Brexit trade deal with Australia in 2021, NFU sources told The Guardian. Tim Farron, the Liberal Democrat environment spokesperson, tweeted: 'This is appalling from Morrisons. They seek kudos for their UK sourcing but then sneakily do this, undermining British farmers and undermining their own integrity and brand.' Meanwhile Asda is selling sirloin and ribeye steaks from Uruguay, priced much lower than the UK equivalents, under the Grass and Grill brand owned by Hilton Foods. They are priced at about £22/kg for sirloin and £24/kg for ribeye, which is around a fifth less than UK and Irish beef at £28/kg and £29/kg respectively. Stuart Roberts, a beef, sheep and cereal farmer from Hertfordshire, said on X: 'With farmers under pressure from multiple directions I'd be fascinated to learn why Asda have decided this is an appropriate time to start stocking Uruguayan beef. 'There is no excuse for this huge betrayal of the UK's hard-working family farms. Consumers and farmers deserve better.' Elsewhere, Sainsbury's has also been stocking wagyu beef from New Zealand – instead of Japan, where it normally comes from. NFU livestock board chairman David Barton said: 'It's deeply concerning to see major retailers now move away from their previous commitments to sourcing British in the last few weeks in favour of imports, many of which have been produced to lower standards. 'Farmers' long-standing partnerships with retailers have supported sustainable supply chains, so this shift is alarming. 'Over the past year, the industry has heard warm words from almost every major retailer pledging support for British farmers. But these words ring hollow when British produce is not given pride of place on shelves.' He added that decisions to 'renege on sourcing commitments' are damaging trust and farmer confidence at a time of global insecurity when sustainable food supply chains have 'never been more important'. Mr Barton continued: 'British farmers have invested in higher standards such as reducing antibiotic use in beef and lowering poultry stocking densities in sheds. 'Consumers want these high-quality production systems, shown by over one million people signing our petition for import standards to match the UK's. 'But delivering these standards comes with additional financial costs. Long-term sourcing commitments from retailers are essential to ensuring that the high welfare British food consumers want remains available.' A Morrisons spokeswoman said: 'Morrisons remains 100 per cent British on all our meat counters. In our aisles – alongside our New Zealand lamb – we are introducing trials of some imported meat from trusted suppliers to help us offer outstanding value through the seasons and through any supply fluctuations. An Asda spokesman added: 'We always look to offer customers a wide choice of products to suit all budgets, and the country of origin is always clearly labelled on pack so customers can make an informed choice about their purchases. 'Grass & Grill steaks are provided by a branded partner and available in our stores for a limited time only. All of Asda's own brand fresh beef continues to be sourced from farms in the UK and Republic of Ireland.' And a Sainsbury's spokeswoman said: 'We're proud to work with thousands of British farmers year-round and the vast majority of our beef range is sourced from the UK and Ireland. We have no plans to change this approach. 'All of our suppliers also have to meet the same rigorous quality standards, regardless of where the product is sourced from. 'These seasonal products account for just 0.1 per cent of our beef range and are an example of where there are times we may also source from elsewhere like New Zealand, so that we can continue to meet customer demand. 'The country of origin is clearly labelled, to help our customers make informed choices when they shop with us.'
