    About Uber Beauty

    Medichem International (manufacturing) Ltd , a prestigious company of 20 year standing, are now seeking exclusive country or country state 'Master Distributors' to market their record breaking brand in the 'Hair and Beauty sector'. IF YOU ARE LIVING IN THE UK WITH CONNECTIONS ABROAD BY WAY OF BUSINESS PARTNERS, FAMILY OR FRIENDS THIS WOULD BE AN IDEAL SITUATION TO MEET UP TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITIES OF YOU OR YOUR ABOVE CONNECTED PEOPLE TO BE GRANTED THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO YOUR CHOSEN COUNTRY...... One of the new additions to the Uber range, a world first in the hair industry has proved to be the fastest selling product in the company's 20 year history. This success is mirrored by the massive customer demand from six of the biggest UK retail outlets. This product sales success should translate to all countries worldwide. Another new addition to the range is coming out next month and expected to be an even bigger success! Uber products, because of their natural ingredients and health giving benefits to the skin, are taking the world market by storm, and in 2 / 3 years when the Uber brand is internationally recognized, anyone with the good fortune to be granted the exalted status of 'Exclusive Master Distributor' for their chosen country, ( or countries ) or USA or Canada state, could have invested in a veritable gold mine. The value of this opportunity is increased even further by the company ethos of honesty, integrity and outstanding company support : A NEW APPROACH TO MASTER DISTRIBUTOR APPOINTMENTS! No royalties of any kind ! No management fees of any kind ! Unheard of low investment to be granted exclusive rights to your country! No experience is needed in this industry sector, just an entrepreneurial passion to bring a stunning new brand to your country. The hair and beauty industry never goes out of fashion, and women worldwide literally demand new brands to try and take on as their new favourite. The added bonus with the Uber brand, is that because of the natural exotic ingredients such as softening Hydrolyzed silk, nourishing Pequi Oil, moisturizing Linseed Extract, rejuvenating Ju Hua, firming Pomegranate and soothing Yogurtine (to name just a few) means that even women who could not previously use any creams or make up due to hyper-sensitive skin, can now enjoy the benefits of a beautiful Range of products without any fear of side effects. As already stated, in the next few years when Uber is expected to be an Internationally recognized brand, this may be one of the world's most in demand and sought after Master Distributorship businesses. It's the getting in at the beginning that is the key. Uber products were chosen for the after dinner party at the prestigious PFA (Professional football awards ) dinner in London, and was also the choice of a top Model Agency at a gala evening in London to celebrate 25 years of Super Models. SUMMARY A Master Distributorship with the Uber brand could be described as the 'Holy Grail' for businessmen and business women alike because it is the rarest of opportunities to get in at the beginning of a new brand before it becomes Internationally recognized. When this happens, the investment required to claim such an exalted status of 'Exclusive Country Master Distributor' usually becomes out of reach to all but the very wealthiest of people.
