GROWING THE SPA INDUSTRY THE SPATEC WAY

Following the success of the inaugural SPATEC UK & Europe this year, Mclean Events International is pulling out all the stops to provide even further value at its forthcoming SPATEC event with an exciting mix of operators (buyers) and suppliers from the UK and European spa industry.
SPATEC UK & Europe aims to help develop the spa industry and expand the market by facilitating constructive and valuable interaction between the sector’s key decision makers and leading suppliers. It offers a successful formula of a two day forum of face-to-face meetings between 60 of the most prominent and progressive UK and European spa operators with more than 70 spa suppliers. Both buyers and suppliers choose who they would like to meet and are given a personal schedule of 20-minute meetings. These allow delegates to talk business and network in a way that is simply not possible with trade shows and conferences.
As such, it proved a successful launch pad for a number of companies this year, helping to further broaden the scope of the UK and European spa market.
Anne Semonin, the Parisian cosmetics brand, attended the event as part of its UK launch. The beauty brand secured some important contracts as a result of the event and enjoyed further success last week when its products sold out in just 35 minutes on the QVC shopping channel.
Meanwhile, the organic skincare company, Ila, took its first steps into the spa industry by attending SPATEC UK & Europe. With products made from 100 per cent chemical-free ingredients, its range of prototypes proved so popular with buyers that Ila now has contracts with both Marriott and department store chain, Fenwicks.
And professional hair care company, GHD, which was at conceptual stages for its GHD Spa range, used SPATEC to underpin what was to be launched several months after the event. Director, Dan Smith says: “I knew SPATEC would be the perfect opportunity to meet key decision makers that would ultimately endorse our innovations to take hair in spa to a new phenomenon; it would become the new religion”.
“Spa owners and operators tell us they want to see high-end, innovative products and this is precisely what we deliver at SPATEC UK & Europe 2008,” says Nigel Wallace, SPATEC’s Event Director “As well as providing a forum for debate on the key industry topics, the event aims to bring together the movers and shakers of the sector to facilitate innovative thinking, drive understanding and ultimately improve performance and progress of the sector”
