The chic, contemporary Silver Sturgeon yacht provided the nautical setting for the Clarins Gold Salon Awards – now in their 15th year.
As guests cruised up and down the River Thames, managing director Robin Vincent thanked them for their exemplary level of Clarins service and outstanding performance – “Here sits the cream of UK salons,” he said.
Robin reviewed the previous year’s trading and paid respects to Jacques Courtin-Clarins who died earlier this year, saying: “He will be remembered as a giant of our industry.”
He discussed the industry’s future, citing how it was dependent on constant client recruitment “as people are easily seduced away from traditional suppliers with the rise in popularity of plastic surgery, laser technology, and invasive improvement”.
He added: “Clarins remains benchmarked for industry – a high- quality, proven and trusted brand”, before proudly announcing that Clarins UK has been awarded the Royal Warrant of Appointment by Her Majesty The Queen. Guest of honour on the yacht was the Queen’s personal assistant, Angela Kelly, who gave a congratulatory speech.
