Two cosmetics brands have been selected for Walpole’s 2016 Brands of Tomorrow programme.
The programme aims to highlight and develop brands that are considered to be frontrunners in the world of luxury, standing out from the crowd. To qualify, brands needed an annual turnover of more than £10,000 but no more than £4m, an entrepreneurial management style and a clear vision of their future goals and strategy.
For 2016, Aurelia Probiotic Skincare and Noble Isle were both selected. The two cosmetics brands form part of a list of 12 brands, which also includes those from the fashion, design, fitness and beverage industries.

Michelle Emmerson, CEO of Walpole, said: “What Brands of Tomorrow recognises is the trailblazing brands who are championing innovation in their sectors. Discovering and nurturing new talent is a leading priority for Walpole and our members, and as luxury industry leaders it is our responsibility to ensure the future success and sustainability of a sector, which is forecast to be worth £51.5bn to the UK economy by 2019.”
The 12 brands will be rewarded for their position on the list with bespoke learning opportunities under the mentorship of leading luxury brand professionals including executives from Harrods, The Savoy, Rolls Royce and Alexander McQueen, among others.
