At the start of 2010, Lornamead established a new dedicated business for Yardley of London, following the $45.5 million sale of the Yardley business in Asia, Middle East, the Australasia region and certain African countries to Wipro Ltd. in November 2009. Lornamead tapped Quentin Higham to be managing director of the more focused unit, reporting to chief operating officer Jon Osborne.
Higham, who has responsibility for the Yardley and Woods of Windsor brands in Europe and Americas, had most recently headed a sales and marketing consultancy specializing in the creation and management of beauty brands with a client list that included James Brown London, Purity Organic Skincare and Jo Wood Organics. He has also served as commercial director of KMI, a role in which he was responsible for King of Shaves, Ted Baker and Fish styling, and as marketing director EMEA for Coty with responsibility for Rimmel cosmetics and Adidas toiletries.
During the past year, Lornamead has rolled out several unique products. In the U.S., it created Finesse
ReVitality, a hair care formula that borrows from the proven efficacy of anti-aging skin care. Enhanced with a rejuvenating complex of collagen, CoQ10 and antioxidants, ReVitality dramatically improves strength and softness of hair after just one use, according to the company.
Lornamead’s German personal care brand CD rolled out a trio of innovations. First it created a fresh aroma-scented citrus shower product with 5% moisturizing glycerine and vitamins. The innovative formulation was awarded a “good” from German consumer test organization Ökotest for its skin and environment-friendly formulation. In the deo sector, CD added what it calls its most caring and moisturizing antiperspirant roll-on, which delivers maximum protection and moisturization via a high urea-concentration. Also, CD’s range of bar soaps has been extended with a new floral offering that builds on the success of the brand’s existing waterlily range. This new purple bar soap contains a high level of natural moisturizers combined with CD’s well known waterlily fragrance.
Another new product in Lornamead’s stable is Handsan Geruchs–Stop, the brand’s first hand wash specifically for use in the kitchen. It neutralizes unpleasant cooking odors with natural grapefruit-oil and Aromaguard Technology, while removing germs and bacteria.
And proving that even old brands can get their bling on, Lornamead has rolled out AquaNet UpDo, a combination hair and sparkle product sold at supermarkets and drugstores in the U.S. It delivers the brand’s iconic all-day hold with iridescent sparkle and a fresh scent, according to the company.
