Mavala celebrates 20 years in the uk

Mavala is celebrating 20 years in the UK headed up by father-and-son team, Chris and Jonathan Hodge. In their 20 years together, Chris and Jonathan have expanded the Mavala brand from the core nailcare range to a full beauty collection incorporating hand and foot care, skincare, and an extensive cosmetic range. Working with family is often seen as a challenge, but it has proved to be a winning formula for Mavala around the world, with family-run branches in Switzerland, Sweden, Holland, Germany, Italy, Cyprus and Finland – to name just a few. Although Jonathan is Chris’ natural successor, his father is quick to point out that it has not been smooth sailing for him. “He has had to work his way up from the bottom, understanding how the company works from the warehouse to management, as well as controlling his own sales area,” said Chris. There have been many highlights for the pair along the way, but their recent partnerships with Virgin Airlines and P&O cruises have been particularly exciting developments for the future of the company. Added Jonathan: “The launch of Revive nail treatment kits (a prescriptive, three-step nailcare system) was a great achievement for us, as the Revive idea originated in the UK, and the Mavala headquarters in Geneva loved the concept so much, it was rolled out worldwide. “Also, our work for charity is very rewarding, especially our annual collaboration with the Sparks Charity Ball, helping to fund medical research into childhood disease and illness.”
