The British Beauty Council’s Value of Beauty report, compiled by Oxford Economics, demonstrates the beauty industry’s significant contribution to the UK’s economy, employment and global reputation. From its £28.3 billion economic contribution, to the 595,000 people who work within it across manufacturing, retail, services, wellness and aesthetics, the industry generated £8.8 billion in tax revenues to the Exchequer, an increase of 7.5% since the previous year.
