A great townhall on Friday about loving our brands like our consumers do!  Very proud to see this in the RHS magazine…consumer love in action! Jackie Isard won last year’s RHS botanical art exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery

Last week, the Wellbeing team at the London Hub put on a charity art sale, selling stock from Elephant and Kidderminster that had been assigned for charity. People flocked to the stand all day from other offices, the Royal College of Art and beyond, to look at the products, ask questions and give donations. Over the course of the sale, we sold out multiple times and had to restock, in total raising £2008 for the Hammersmith and Fulham Food Bank. Along with us, the staff at Huckletree were amazed at the level of engagement and have already been inundated with queries about the next event.

A lot of work went into the event, both in the run-up and on the day, so a huge thanks to the whole Wellbeing team – Olivia, Viktoria, Giuliano, Mathilda and Alex – and a massive thank you to everybody from Colart who came along and donated.

Liquitex NPD’s have been strongly introduced in Rougier et Plé 30 stores chain in France in May. With the support of local POS for Basics and Canvas, the in store activation has been powerfull, and relayed on line with our retail partner. First sell out are much encouraging !

Liquitex NPD’s represent more than 200K€ sales YTD and are aligned with our placements objectives. Basics Fluid and Recycled Canvas have received a great retail interest and listing (better than expected). Basics 22ml range is much competing with Talens Amsterdam (much lower priced) but we tested some interesting bulk (as photo) pushes with huge sell out (300 tubes in 5 days in one major store). 

Special thanks to Guenael Fine Arts Channel Director and Amandine Trade Marketing Manager (and team!) for their successful transformation of this major 2023 objective with the main Fine Arts chain in France!

Visite d’un musée hors du temps à La Chartre Sur Le Loir à 50 km du Mans où l’on découvre une chapellerie et une brosserie possédant également un rayon de couleurs.

«La palette d’or » à Angers a fermé ses portes depuis longtemps et Grégoire Courtin a racheté les produits qu’il expose dans l’esprit d’une boutique.

Le marchand de couleurs proposait des produits aux marques Lefranc, Bourgeois Ainé et Conté à Paris.

A visit to the museum out of time at La Chartre Sur Le Loir, 50 km from Le Mans, where you can discover a millinery and a brush factory also with a ray of colors.

“La palette d’or” in Angers closed its doors a long time ago and Grégoire Courtin bought back the products he exhibits in the spirit of a boutique.

The color merchant offered products from our brands : Lefranc, Bourgeois Ainé and Conté à Paris.
