Soapopular Inc. will begin selling Soapopular Alcohol Free Hand Sanitiser in the UK at over 800 retail stores including Harrods. Distribution in the UK is through Powermed Healthcare, a new and innovative contract sales service provider operating within the UK healthcare and health and beauty market.
“We are excited about this great opportunity in the UK with Powermed,” said Steve Orrett, President of Soapopular, “right out of the gate we will list Soapopular in over 800 retail stores throughout the UK including the prestigious Harrods of London Store. We also want to thank Mike Eaton and our partners at Orion Healthcare who are working with Soapopular to further develop the brand internationally including the UK, EU and Middle Eastern markets.”
Soapopular’s gentle, foaming, alcohol free formula kills 99.9% of harmful germs, including MRSA, VRE, C. difficile, and the Avian flu virus within seconds. The non irritating antiseptic, fragrant free application leaves the hands feeling clean and fresh. Soapopular is a major hand sanitiser brand currently sold in Canada and the US through major retailers and wholesaler. Powermed will focus the UK launch of Soapopular into pharmacy and pharmacy wholesalers, and discussions have started with other retail outlets to further the distribution of the Soapopular brand. Soapopular is available in home, travel, and workplace sizes including the 10ml pen, 100ml and 250ml bottles, and the 1000ml dispenser and 1000ml refill cartridges.
