From actor to entrepreneur

The cosmetics products , which are seen as revolutionary in the medical aesthetics and fillers industry, marks a major statement of intent by Epitique UK Ltd, as the company looks to establish itself further as one of the leading innovators in the UK & Ireland cosmetics industry.

Jody Latham, Founder of Epitique UK Ltd: “We are thrilled to have signed this partnership with Jetema, an incredibly prestigious company, and look forward to enjoying a very successful relationship together. Most importantly, these products mark a major gear change in the evolution of the medical aesthetics industry in the UK & Ireland.”

The deal means the company is projecting a turnover of £4m this year with 30% grown in 2021.
