Why We Exist
A Changing Industry
The world of personal care and wellness is changing amidst a landscape of changing social interactions, consumer trust and defined aspirations. The old world of beauty and wellness where the big 8 companies dominated the entire landscape is fading. Consumers want new up and coming brands and these often have the most incredible ideas but rarely have a supply chains to back it up when the business takes off and end up at the mercy of a buy out.
F&R.
In 2018, Alice and Vic broke free from their corporate shackles and formed F&R after meeting whilst working together in the sourcing team at WBA (Boots). Just two people with a mission to bring the knowledge and sourcing power of the big players to the new kids on the block and help give these newer brands a fighting chance.
Enter the H.
In September 2021 F&R became FRH as Sandra joined the board and leadership team, bringing decades of technical packaging development experience with her and enabling an expansion of our services so we could further propel the brands we worked with to compete with their big name competitors.
Our team now boasts over 140 years of industry experience and is a small, carefully selected bunch of experts who work in a matrix format to apply our combined knowledge to help drive brands who just need that bit of insight or specific expertise.
