About CEW(UK) 

 

Founded in America in 1954, France in 1986 and the UK in 1992, Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW), an organisation with a philanthropic arm, pursues a mission of nurturing and recognising top executive talent, whilst raising money for its independent initiative "Cancer and Careers".

The CEW(UK) membership is comprised of over 1,000 executive women in the cosmetic, fragrance and hairdressing industries and related fields such as advertising, PR, product development, marketing, media, finance, sales, retail, management and design and packaging. These women hold entry level, middle-management and senior management positions and all enjoy CEW's events for the invaluable networking opportunities these events offer.

CEW(UK)'s mission is to advance the professional growth and leadership development of women in the cosmetic industry through career development programmes, networking opportunities and the recognition of achievement.

It is our aim to help women network and raise their visibility within the beauty industry through managing a programme of events, which provide a platform for industry leaders and celebrity speakers to share their incredible experience and insight.

Some of these fantastic events include:
