Noella Gabriel, co-founder of Elemis, has been named president of the UK-based skincare company.

The move was announced by Elemis CEO Séan Harrington, who said Gabriel had helped the company achieve "unprecedented growth and success in the UK and EU markets".

"To have Noella by my side as we continue to grow the company and lead the future of the brand is a privilege and an honour," Harrington said.

"She has incredible magic and ingenuity as a leader – this next step for her is only natural, and so well-deserved.

"We share a common vision: to build a skincare brand that went beyond just cream in a jar.

"We knew from the start we were on to something special, and that it would take the sum of us all to bring to life.

"Since day one, Noella’s commitment and passion have touched all areas of Elemis and beyond. Her brilliance is evident not only in the rising numbers, but also at every touchpoint in our consumer journey."

In her new role, Gabriel – who until recently held the role of managing director – will continue to oversee and manage the UK business, while supporting and driving the US business as Elemis looks to expand into specialty retail.

Harrington will concentrate on expanding business worldwide.
