PETER COLLINGE 90 TH
BIRTHDAY PARTY
Peter Collinge celebrated his 90th birthday at the Andrew
Collinge Salon, Castle Street, Liverpool. The evening was a
reunion of many of those staff, old and new, all of which have
benefited from this training. Andrew Collinge made a speech
paying tribute to Peter’s achievements, which was followed
by a film of Peter’s photographic work, archive photos and
messages from staff from all over the world. Margaret McQuaid,
his first apprentice in 1954, made a presentation of a birthday
cake together with the newest and youngest recruit to the
Andrew Collinge apprenticeship programme, David Randles.
The evening was a glowing success and a fitting celebration for
Peter’s exceptional contribution both to the hairdressing world
and to the city of Liverpool. Happy Birthday Peter!
