B O R N F O R B E A U T Y EXPERIENCE THE ULTIMATE SKIN TREAT HYALURONIC SERIES WITH THE AUSTRALIAN MADE Visit us at b2-h28 Neuhaus introduces new lead in Asia and Middle East N euhaus is one of the oldest names in travel retail which barely needs any introduction, but a key function the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference provides is to meet new people. One of these is Max Van Coillie, Neuhaus’ new Business Development Manager Asia & Middle East, pictured here with Alexandra Bevernage, Travel Business Development Director. “I have an extensive background in both chocolate and coffee – and indeed the experience I have in fresh coffee is very useful in the fresh chocolate business,” said Van Coillie, who joined the fine Belgian chocolatier some six months ago. Although well-represented throughout the APAC region, Van Coillie agrees that some markets offer Neuhaus significant growth opportunities. “We are opening in Bangalore later this month, but there is a lot more to do as clearly India is a huge prospect for premium chocolate in addition to the traditional APAC markets led by China.” Basement 2/2-L28 Wednesday 1 5 May 2024 21 T F W A D A I L Y
