Annabelle has always had a passion for the protection of the environment and animals. At 11 years old, she alongside fellow classmates campaigned to end fox hunting and were invited to attend the House of Commons as part of their work. So, finding LUSH in 1998, when she was 16, was a natural fit. Annabelle started her LUSH career in the third ever shop on the Kings Road, in London, as a part-time sales assistant. She’s developed through the company holding roles in sales, PR, brand, international business development, general management to directorship. Reporting to the founders and global board, she has worked with over 11 countries focusing on strategy, re-structuring, change management, company buy-backs and new market entry, whilst advising the board on wider global issues like Ethical Banking.

In late 2012, after completing her Executive MBA, the opportunity to head up the business in Hong Kong arose. Under her guidance, the team has grown from zero to three hundred in the last six years. The business in Hong Kong supports the global Chinese customers and became a Top 10 global market within 3 years of her managing the business, with an operation of 11 stores in Hong Kong and Macau, the official website and a store on Tmall.

She’s passionate about wellbeing and, following the birth of her first child and a new policy on parental leave in the parent company, Annabelle implemented parental leave at a local level for all staff regardless of being part-time or full-time.

Annabelle currently looks after the strategy and development for the Greater China region and is a core member of the APAC board.
