The Estée Lauder Companies UK & Ireland is the number one prestige beauty company in the UK. In 1960, ELC’s first overseas account was launched in Harrods, London, helping to establish the UK & Ireland as a core market.
UK Facilities
One Fitzroy, our UK & Ireland headquarters, brings together the Company’s brands into a single corporate workplace, housing marketing, e-commerce and sales operations as well as a Design Studio.
Whitman Laboratories Ltd, our UK-based EMEA manufacturing facility, produces many of the Company's leading products, specialising in skin care and the manufacture of Jo Malone London products.
Kite’s Croft omni-fulfilment centre is responsible for packing, shipping and fulfilling ELC UK & Ireland’s diverse range of retail and online customer and direct-to-consumer orders. The facility also includes Customer and Consumer Contact Centres and other support services.
Jo Malone London’s heart and home is a Georgian townhouse in London’s Marylebone. With a flair for storytelling and an appreciation for tradition served with a twist, Jo Malone London is synonymous with a distinctly British character that delights in the unexpected.
UK Citizenship & Sustainability
For The Estée Lauder Companies UK & Ireland, we believe that citizenship and sustainability are essential to our success as a business and our responsibilities as a global company.
In 2017, we launched ELC Good Works in the UK & Ireland region, a programme through which the Company matches employee contributions of both volunteer time and monetary donations. Since the programme launched, our employees have registered over 6,000 volunteer hours.
Through our citizenship practices, we dedicate company-wide resources to address key issues around health, the environment and education through our partnerships with Future Dreams, Breast Cancer Now, Look Good Feel Better, National Literacy Trust, Young Women's Trust, The Prince's Trust, and Beauty Banks.
Throughout our UK facilities we are evolving waste management programmes to drive change in recycling practices and deliver significant waste reductions. In our Kite’s Croft Distribution Centre we have achieved a recycling rate of 93%, exceeding our 2020 global target.
In partnership with suppliers, retailers, consumers and employees, we continue to work toward caring for communities, conserving natural resources and creating innovative and sustainable products to create long-term value in the region.
