SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF KEIGHLEY
Arthur Smith spoke to members about his boss, Elizabeth Arden.
He said one of her trademark creams, Visible Difference, was still remarkable after many years and an essential in make-up routines.
Mr Smith enjoyed a fascinating career as a result of his sales expertise. He went from Brown & Muffs in Bradford right to the top, with an international position.
He described visits to Dubai to sell perfumes and make-up to Middle East countries and to manage sales teams, and the challenges getting American dignitaries to the UK during strikes by air staff.
He also showed photos of Elizabeth Arden through the years.
Mr Smith was thanked by Pam Greenwood.
