This week, members of the THG LABS team stepped outside the usual beauty sphere and into new territory at CHEMUK Expo - our first time attending the event. With tankers, trucks, and even a race car simulator on display, the show floor provided an energetic and unconventional setting for cross-industry connection.

Kristal Goodman, Head of Product Innovation and Jessica Lawther, Head of Marketing & Communications, attended on behalf of THG LABS to explore how other sectors are tackling shared challenges, and to bring those insights back to our work in beauty manufacturing. The agenda was packed with thought-provoking sessions and fresh perspectives on everything from innovation to supply chain strategy.

We were also invited to speak and contribute to a discussion exploring “What beauty brands really want from the chemical industry supply chain.” Kristal Goodman represented THG LABS on a panel that offered valuable insights and prompted important discussion of transparency, agility, and sustainability in delivering value to brand partners.

A valuable day of learning, conversation, and collaboration, and one we’ll be keeping a close eye on for the future.
