The CEW France Achiever Awards ceremony took place in Paris last night. This year, a total of 11 prizes were awarded in nine categories. The Achiever Awards, now in their 11th year, recognize executives for success in their careers, entrepreneurial spirit and their contributions to the beauty industry.
This year, BW Confidential once again partnered with the CEW France to create a special-edition magazine featuring the award winners and nominees. BW Confidential donates a portion of the advertising revenues from this special edition to Les Centres de Beauté, and wishes to thank Chanel and Givaudan for their support.
Over the years, BW Confidential has donated more than €30,000 to the CEW’s Centres de Beauté, which provides beauty treatments to those suffering from illness.
