A glamorous celebration at COPRA’s Awards Lunch! POSITIVE+ ensured that the Cosmetics & Perfumery Retailers Association (COPRA) made the right impression at their highly anticipated annual ceremony.

Over 400 beauty and fragrance insiders gathered at the enchanting Savoy Hotel, including buyers from the UK’s top retailers such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Fenwick, QVC, Escentual, Next Beauty, and SPACE NK. The guest list also boasted representatives from renowned beauty brands like Chanel, Estée Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, and LVMH, to name just a few.

The Awards recognise the most outstanding products, people and businesses in the cosmetics and fragrance industry. We helped Copra make the right impression by sponsoring and printing a range of stunning event materials including a photo wall, roller banners, table plans, showcards and table sponsor cards.

The POSITIVE+ team had a wonderful time at the event, which was held on Wednesday 22^nd May, and enjoyed catching up with some of our lovely clients and industry friends.
