RHUG Estate owner Lord Newborough says he is "extremely excited" about the business' latest venture - an organic and natural face and body care range.

His newly formed company, Rhug Organic & Natural Ltd, has been set up this week.

The skincare business will act as an extension of Rhug’s present activities which has seen them produce and supply high quality meats to restaurants and hotels around the world from London to Hong Kong.

Looking forward to Corwen-based Rhug's latest project, Lord Newborough said: "I am extremely excited by the prospect of this new and exciting business.

"The concept is based on herbs and berries, seaweed and homegrown honey found in this area of north Wales.

"In this beautiful part of the countryside where we are blessed with fresh air, beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and stunning coastline, it is my aim to create a body care range which captures and reflects the essence of this area.

"We will also be launching the product online and it is intended to take this product global. We hope to create further jobs on the back of this new venture too which will be highly beneficial to this area of north Wales.”

Lord Newborough added that he will be spearheading the new Organic & Natural Ltd team at Rhug on a day to day basis assisted by Amy Coleman, assistant manager of Rhug’s retail interests. Anastasiia Berezhna is the newest member to join the team, she has been involved from the inception and will be the Ambassador for promoting the products as soon as they are ready to launch.

Anastasiia, who studied Economics in University and has extensive experience in travel, cosmetics and fashion, said, "I am passionate about anything to do with body care, particularly if they are natural and organic. I look forward to working with the team and being part of its success."

Rhug Farm shop already carries a stock of health and beauty products and will be stocking the new own branded products as soon as they are available.

Lord Newborough says he hopes their latest product can be officially launched by April 2020, with testing and the creation of packaging now underway.
