Grafton International awarded Skincare Supplier of the Year 2008

On Monday March 3 2008, ExCel London saw Grafton International pick up Professional Beauty’s Skincare Supplier of the Year for [ comfort zone ], sponsored by Grazia.

The nation’s top salons, spas and suppliers gathered at ExCel’s Platinum Suite for an evening of fine dining as the winners of the prestigious Professional Beauty awards were announced across a variety of health and beauty categories.

Competing against finalists including Collin, Decleor, Dermalogica and Elemis the luxurious Italian skincare brand, [ comfort zone ], distributed in the UK by Grafton International was the proud winner of Skincare Supplier of the Year 2008. Professional Beauty stated:

“Whether clients have been with this company for years or are just getting acquainted with it, they rave about the product knowledge, flexibility, and helpfulness of its employees. [ comfort zone ] representatives make a conscious effort to constantly remain in touch with their respective salons and spas, and this, combined with the effectiveness and diversity of the product range, certainly made this a favourite among all. Stockists told us that their clients instantly fell in love with the product because it made such a visible difference. The training, back–up and promotion meant that this brand got top marks in all the criteria we asked about. As an up–and–coming spa brand offering real results and with a great support network, we think that [ comfort zone ] is definitely one to watch.”

The award was the result of a long judging process, voted for by consumers via the Grazia website, followed by stockists rating the supplier on a range of criteria.

Sarah North, [ comfort zone ] National Sales Manager, said, “I am so delighted that the [ comfort zone ] brand has been recognised through the PB awards as best skincare supplier. The team at [ comfort zone ] is so dedicated to making the brand fresh, new and innovative and its wonderful that our industry is excited by this. Our clients have been incredibly loyal, we will endeavour to keep raising our brand profile and offering the very best that we can in service and products.”

Jon Hardwick, Grafton International Managing Director, added, “We are incredibly proud to have been recognised as Skincare Supplier of the Year for our [ comfort zone ] brand. This is a real achievement and wholly recognises the dedication and loyalty of our team here at Grafton International. Our aim is to lead the way with our products, treatments and most of all our service and I feel this award demonstrates what we are setting out to achieve.”
