Sinead Howard has agreed commitments to the company until the end of 2016 whereupon she will leave the employ of Philip Kingsley Products & we wish her well in her new role. I, on behalf of the Philip Kingsley group of companies, would like to thank Sinead very much for her contribution to Philip Kingsley Products over the last 8 years, especially with regards to QVC, as well as the last 4 years, in which we have seen significant growth of the company.”
