There's no 'I' in team, and there's also no 'I' in barbershop. From managers to master barbers, apprentices and everyone in between, a barbershop is only as strong as its team. best Team at the Modern Barber Awards sheds light on this, recognising and celebrating those barber families that prioritise harmonious, cooperative working relationships.

Cresswell Barber Co. secured back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023. Having demonstrated their close bond to win the prestigious award, Cresswell Barber Co owner, Natalie Cresswell, said: "Winning Best Team felt amazing back in 2022, so to win it again for the second year in a row, it was totally surreal! We were up against some amazing teams, too. The pride I feel for my team is unmatched – they all work so hard on their cuts and themselves, and they make it such a lovely environment for our clients to enjoy. I can’t thank them enough for their loyalty and support, so this award is nothing to do with me, it’s all about them."
