Professor Angus Jenkinson and Branko Sain, brandrepublic.com, Tuesday, 01 April 2003, 12:00am,

Case study investigating the origins and development of the Lush cosmetics brand, from it's origins in Poole, to today's 130 stores worldwide.

Born from the ashes of 'Cosmetics to Go', Lush opened its first shop in Poole in 1994 and mushroomed into a chain of more than 130 shops worldwide. The humus for this growth was the interplay the ideas of freshness, nature and fun.

These ideas are the heart and soul of Lush and everything Lush represents. It is through these ideas that the leaders attract like-minded people, staff and clients, and communicate the brand essence and a clear vision and direction.
