In this week's Expert Advice column, Blake Hughes, General Manager – Europe at Murad discusses the brand's expansion strategy.

Focusing on the UK, can you describe Murad's business highlights over the past 12 months?
2014 was another record-breaking sales year leading to our biggest highlight, which was the Murad family acquiring the UK joint venture to create their first affiliate outside the US.
