From actor to entrepreneur

Jody Latham, best known for his acting roles on Shameless and Eastenders, has taken time out from TV work in recent years to launch his own business in the North West, which is continuing to go from strength to strength. The business, Epitique UK Ltd, last week signed an exclusive deal with Korean cosmetics technology giants, Jetema, worth £9.5m.

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.
