Our team took part in a virtual horse racing event to raise money for the Jim Jackson Foundation

Over the past few years, we have challenged ourselves with charity initiatives including walking the combined distance from the Manor to Jill and Jim’s house in France and abseiling down the Peacehaven cliffs. This year we embraced a new theme with a virtual horse racing day and it was a huge success.

Everyone dressed the part with our point-to-point inspired dress code which brought a real sense of fun and spirit to the day. Held at our Head Office, the event featured a lottery style system where we could back winning horses and claim prizes. We also enjoyed an incredible lunch from local business Antipasti by the Sea and raised a toast with prosecco gifted from Plumpton College, who work closely with the Jim Jackson Foundation.

We had the privilege of hearing an inspiring update on how the Foundation and its partners are making a difference! Together the team raised £1,300 which will go directly towards empowering disadvantaged young people to step into the world of business. The Jim Jackson Foundation provides vital opportunities including vocational courses, equipment, work experience placements and apprenticeships which help young people take their first steps into their careers.

Special recognition goes to the Jim Jackson Foundation team for organising such a brilliant day, to David Morgan for providing sound equipment and creating a bespoke playlist and to Jenny Mockford and her husband Ross who hand built and painted the incredible stand that brought the event to life!

We celebrated the launch of Sweet Enigma with six UK content creators in the heart of Paris.

This week, our PR team travelled to Paris with six UK content creators to celebrate the launch of Alexandre J’s latest fragrance, Sweet Enigma.

The trip began with Sweet Enigma inspired cocktails, a Q&A with the perfumer and an intimate dinner hosted by Alexandre J. The following day was filled with Parisian discovery, starting with a guided tour of the Musée Carnavalet, before indulging in a traditional cheese and wine tasting for lunch.

The evening ended on the sweetest note with a luxury chocolate experience for all the guests.

We were delighted to be joined by Alberta Gjerbeck, Axel Grundemar, Amelia Taylor, Chloe Rose, Fabiana Cristin and Yvonne Victoria, who captured the trip beautifully and shared the Sweet Enigma story with their audiences.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us on this unforgettable journey and helped us mark the arrival of Sweet Enigma in true Parisian style!

We joined Moschino and The Perfume Shop for their first pop up at Bluewater.

The Moschino Beauty funfair arrived at Bluewater’s Moon Court for the very first time with a three-day pop-up in partnership with The Perfume Shop.

The event showcased the iconic Toy Collection, including Toy 2, Toy Boy, Toy 2 Bubblegum and Toy 2 Pearl. Each fragrance proved to be very popular, giving us the chance to introduce Moschino to new customers as well as reconnect with those who already love the brand.

Shoppers enjoyed classic funfair favourites such as ring toss, the claw grabber and a photo booth, alongside popcorn, fragrance samples and plenty of Moschino moments to take home. Guests could also purchase Moschino fragrances on the day with special offers and a gift with purchase available throughout the event.

The activation attracted large crowds each day and created a vibrant atmosphere for all who attended. A number of content creators also joined across the weekend, capturing the funfair experience and highlighting the world of Moschino Beauty. Each creator left with a favourite fragrance in hand, taking away a piece of the Moschino magic!

Thank you to everyone who visited across the three days, and to the team at Haygarth for their support in bringing this activation to life.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the sudden passing of our Field Merchandiser, Julie Skinner, after a short illness. Julie joined us nearly three years ago, firstly as a Brand Ambassador, where her passion took her into her latest role. She built strong, close relationships with her direct colleagues, worked hard to make a positive difference to our brands in-store and made an active contribution to the overall Aspects team.

She will be sorely missed by us all and we pass on our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
