OUR ORGANISATION

Following the acquisition of Medichem Manufacturing Ltd in October 2021, our colleague number has increased to 411, most of whom are based in the United Kingdom. Our colleagues are all directly employed and are not in any category which is generally seen to be vulnerable to modern slavery in this country, so our focus is to ensure there are policies and procedures in place for our contractors and suppliers and to ensure adequate training and awareness for our employees.
OUR SUPPLY CHAIN

Revolution Beauty uses a wide range of suppliers who supply goods for sale, provide services and support our operations.
