They totally understand the UK Market and are great to work with."

"As a buyer for major Department stores Worldwide it is important to have key industry contacts. In the UK foothold should be the first stop for any new luxury beauty brand - they know the market inside out and have the commercial know how to match.

Whether you want to launch in a small way or in a huge counter in a great hall - Foothold can do it for you. One retailer or 200 they can guide you away from the traps so many new brands fall into." Angela Creasey

I have known Annie for ever - we worked together when she was taking UK colour by storm (still is apparently) and I was involved is Global Marketing and she is absolutely the top guru for beauty in the UK.

If you are lucky enough to persuade her firm to look after your brand then grab the opportunity with both hands and you will never regret it!

Absolutely the right starting place for a new luxury brand.

"foothold are one of the best brand managers in the UK at the moment - if you want to launch a new brand talk to them.

They not only have the right ideas and know the market but they have the sales teams and support services to make it work on an on-going basis.

Highly recommended!"

Catherine Bossom - Head Buyer



Daryl Fielding - VP Marketing Kraft, former Managing Partner Ogilvy & Mather.

“When it comes to Health & Beauty one of the top consultancies is foothold – everyone in the market knows them and they know all the major players.

A full perspective of the market is vital for any new entrant. In a multi billion £ market with hundreds of competing brands the riches are there but so are the pitfalls.

In a new and crowded market everyone needs a guide and I would recommend foothold.”

 

I have known Annie since the early days of Bobbi Brown. She was hugely successful with the launch of Bobbi in the UK.  Since then, I have introduced foothold to various US companies looking to expand distribution to the UK.  

Each one has been extremely impressed with their knowledge of the UK market and the range of services available.  I have no hesitation in recommending foothold to any cosmetic company looking for professional representation in the UK.
