Unit responsible for making wipes, beauty applicators
October 16, 2017

Beauty company SLG has confirmed it is seeking a buyer for its Gloucester, U.K.-based manufacturing division, which makes beauty applicators and cosmetic wipes, according to a report from Gloucestershirelive. SLG is the company behind many high street fashion beauty brands including Zoella Beauty, Superdry Beauty and Men’s Grooming, Johnny’s Chop Shop and the recently launched Millie Mackintosh Beauty selling their brands in 15,000 stores across 27 countries.
In parallel, the company, which has its headquarters in Cheltenhan, U.K. but manufacturing base in Kingsholm, U.K. is also seeking a sub-ontractor for the manufacture of its globally patented Self Tan Mitt product and an outsource partner for its warehouse facilities.
SLG acknowledges some jobs may be lost as a result of the process and was unable to confirm how many or how many staff might be affected.
Miles Dunkley, chief executive officer of SLG, says: “The manufacturing division represents around £2 million of SLG’s £40 million group turnover.” Richard Buckland, SLG’s chief operating officer, says: “There is an imperative in this process which is that the manufacturing division is purchased by a world class U.K. based acquirer and that any sub-contract partners are able to not only maintain but improve on the exceptional product quality and customer service which SLG is so well known for.” He adds, “Assuming that suitable acquirers and sub-contractors are secured, a number of employees currently engaged in these activities will be protected by TUPE regulations with the potential also for some redundancies. We hope this to be at a minimum level, however.”
