  Please find our 2022 Annual report .
As we celebrate 30 years since launching in the UK, CEW remains the UK’s largest professional, business-to-business beauty organisation, spanning all industry categories. CEW provides a platform where beauty comes to do business. Our role is to connect, support and empower members of the CEW community in driving their careers and businesses forward and, in turn, benefit the industry as a whole.
Throughout the year, we give our members exclusive access to the beauty industry’s most influential decision-makers and shine a light on emerging talent, outstanding careers, and hundreds of brands and businesses via our varied calendar of programmes and events. I continue to be inspired by the variety of businesses and individuals that CEW connects with – established brands, startups and founders, retailers and retail specialists, investors, formulators, PRs, packaging experts, brand consultancies, recruitment and training specialists, legal experts, and the list goes on.
We are committed to developing a diverse, vibrant community and event programme to meet the evolving needs of the membership. I am tremendously proud of the support CEW continues to provide for our members and the new initiatives launched this year alone. These include our cross-industry DE&I research project with the MBS Group and Science Magic Inc., our industry first two-way mentoring scheme supported by Puig, our enhanced mentoring scheme for businesses – CEW Accelerate supported by Mintel, the Rising Star awards, which recognises emerging talent from across the sector supported by The Perfume Shop, the Beauty Tech Summit and our first ever directly funded scholarship for a diploma in Cosmetic Science. One lesson we have learned over the past couple of years is that we can thrive and move fast when the unexpected happens, and we are so grateful to all of our members and sponsors for their continued support for CEW. We look forward to working with you all next year and beyond.
