We’re delighted to be featured on the official Boots Newsroom as Breakout Beauty UK returns for 2026 – bigger, bolder, and backed by more support than ever.
The piece captures exactly why this programme exists. As Grace Vernon, Head of Ignite, Foresight and Trends at Boots, puts it: launching a brand is more accessible than ever, but scaling it sustainably is a very different challenge. Boots’ coverage outlines the full scope of what’s on offer this year – a ten-week intensive accelerator, £1 million in total programme support, and a prize package worth £850,000 – as well as the real-world results from 2025, with Make Waves rolling out across 300 Boots stores and ByErim launching into 50.
