Summary

The wellness and beauty breakfast

Aaand relax…  

The market for wellbeing services aligned with the beauty sector is growing almost exponentially. As consumers search for more ways to deal with the pressures of modern living, so services that augment special occasions - aid fundamentals such as sleep, ageing, fitness and more are being actively searched for.

Even Davinia Taylor’s small business success with Will Powders shows us how many new opportunities exist for new products, blended beauty and wellness services and growth opportunities with existing customers. No wonder beauty brands are popping up everywhere and aligning themselves with hospitality and treatment providers to fuel growth.

Do you know your Keto from your Collagen? Your Hair Oil from your Aromatherapy Oil? Would you like to spend the morning listening to and sharing with brand owners and growth specialists talking about their collaborations, challenges and successes?  

Our round table breakfast is perfect food for the soul, so come and network with like-minded leaders from the sector within our Chatham House environment.

  • Is brand the most important element to consider when trying to retain loyalty and increase growth? 
  • Have you noticed changes in your consumers' behaviour to reflect the trend towards the increasing demand for services related to sleep, ageing, fitness, and more? Does ethical purchases trump the fast and ‘furious’ approach?
  • Is there a definitive line between 'beauty and well-being' or do they go together hand in hand?

Laura Rudoe

Founder and CEO

Evolve Beauty

Laura’s Romanian heritage meant that natural and organic living played a huge part in her lifestyle growing up. As a teenager and into her 20’s she suffered from acne, and she turned to natural medicine and natural eating as ways of improving her skin and health.

Laura has always been interested in ethical business practices and how businesses can do well financially as well as doing good for their community and the planet. At the time, organic and ethical beauty products were either expensive and inaccessible to everyone or ineffective and unattractive, and this is what inspired her to create a range of highly effective skincare at affordable prices to help people become a little greener in their everyday lives - which is why Evolve Organic Beauty was born.

Venue

The Ivy, Victoria, 66 Victoria St, London SW1E 6SQ

Named after the birds that populate nearby St James’s Park, its décor is similarly inspired. The walls are adorned with stunning artwork referencing the park’s scarlet geraniums, a colour matched by the tunics of the Queen’s Guards at Buckingham Palace. These bold flashes of colour are top-and-tailed by Art Deco style lighting and a polished, parquet floor, creating a space that is as versatile as it is impressive and perfect for private celebrations and corporate events alike.
