Welcome from the Chairman... 
The time of year has arrived when we concentrate on our main social and fundraising event, the FiFi UK Fragrance Awards. We have a very proactive
Awards committee chaired by Linda Key to ensure that this year at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden on Monday April 12th, we have an evening of which we can be really proud! This premier event for our industry, now supports Look Good... Feel Better. Information on the Awards is available on the separate icon on our website.
We are also grasping the exciting opportunity to support our industry by taking on the responsibility for the Jasmine Awards from April 1st. Congratulations and thanks to all whom have made the Jasmines the undoubted success that they have become, in promoting fragrance sales through the written and visual effect of journalism. Watch this space!!
