THE Professional Beauty Awards is one of the UK's most recognised and prestigious awards for the British beauty industry and Lisa Mansell, of Calm Treatment Rooms in Kilgetty, has been invited to be part of the elite judging panel, made up of some of the top spa managers and owners in the country, as well as well-known beauty and make-up experts.

Lisa, who trained at Pembrokeshire College, has worked all over the world as a spa manager at such exclusive resorts as St. Barts, Sardinia, Corsica, and on luxury cruise ships, and now brings all her expertise to judge the therapist of the year category as well as day spa of the year, boutique spa of the year and residential spa of the year.

Lisa said: "I am delighted to be asked by the editor of Professional Beauty magazine, Jenni Middleton, to be part of an amazing judging panel for these awards. After working in so many wonderful places, I'm really enjoying being back home in Pembrokeshire."

The awards ceremony will take place in London in March 2010.
