Its with much sadness that we have to report that Nathalie, the Manager of our French office, lost her long and painful battle with breast cancer on Tuesday 15th June 2010.  Nathalie had worked for Hilton Herbs for seven years, and our significant position in the French market today is largely due to her hard work and total dedication to our company and its products.  Virtually single-handedly she ran the French office, answering the Helpline, taking French web and telephone orders, and liaising with stockists.  She had day-to-day responsibility for the French website and made a huge contribution to sales and marketing in France.  She was a friend, as well as a colleague, and we will miss her enormously.  Our thoughts go out to her partner, Pascal, her sister, Danielle, and her parents, during this terribly sad time.

It was for Nathalie that we created a Giving Group with Cancer Research http://myprojects.cancerresearchuk.org/group-giving/the-power-of-pink and it is for her, and all women who continue to be afflicted by this dreadful disease, that we are contributing a percentage of sales of our new Blossom shampoo to Cancer Research.

The French office is being run by Blandine Dutilloy, who has worked for Hilton Herbs for a few months now and was trained by Nathalie.  We know that Nathalie can never be replaced, however we feel Blandine will do a great job for Hilton Herbs and will build on Nathalie's work and continue to grow the French market for us.
