Best Spa 2018 – Cyprus & Award for Client Service Excellence - Cyprus Company: Hush Boutique Spa Contact: Froso Antoniou – Hush Boutique Spa Address: 61 Ithakis Street Makedonitissa, 2400, Nicosia Website: www.hushboutiquespa.com Facebook/Instagram: Hush Boutique Spa
Award Title
CERTIFICATE
Escape from the pressures of the everyday life and transport yourself to the tranquil surroundings of the Hush Boutique Spa. We invited Froso Antoniou to tell us more about the spa and the reason that so many clients are enticed to visit the venue. Located in Makedonitissa, Hush Boutique Spa is one of the most known local Medical and Aesthetical Day and Inspirational Boutique Spas in Nicosia, Cyprus. The Spa specialises in three different sectors, including beauty and wellness, medical practices and spa treatments for wellbeing of humans. Froso starts off the discussion by telling us how it feels to be selected as the Best Spa 2018 and also win an award for Client Service Excellence within Cyprus, stating that it is an honour for herself and the team.
“To win this award really is an amazing recognition after all the hard work we have being doing. We have been going for one year now and have expanded rapidly, spreading our presence across social media platforms. Personally, I believe that having a personal business mentor and embracing advice and feedback from others for over a year now has been the stepping stone to our success. My goal is to never stop learning and always find a way to do more for others. We want to give more value to our clients and our team.” Catering to the needs of a vast array of clients, the team at the Spa is able to differentiate itself from others because of staff’s daily motivational and inspirational work, both personally and across social media. Froso goes into detail about the typical clients that the Spa works with.
“Typically, we have a variety of clients visiting our spa, with men and women looking for the best

quality in services, treatments and products, and tourists from other countries visiting Cyprus looking for day relaxation packages, as well as welcoming business owners and well-renowned profile clients.” In order to achieve success, Froso believes that employees and staff must be honest and sincere with all clients, and this is her ultimate goal, as she also believes this is what clients appreciate the most.
“Honestly, I would say that asking the right questions from the start and being honest is the ultimate success for us. Importantly for us, we always ensure that we are doing the right thing for the client, and do not recommend treatments or procedures that will not benefit them, and the client appreciates this approach.” When outlining the success of her Spa, Froso reminisces about where she has come from, having started from nothing 14 years ago, making treatments in one small room. Using her business knowledge, Froso expanded her services, and after seven years of investing her time and money, she was able to create Hush Boutique Spa. Froso’s passion has always been to enhance people’s wellbeing, and in her eyes, she is determined to make people feel beautiful on the inside and outside.
“Utilising my experience, I have created treatments which are unique, and I have always held my work to the highest of standards. Adding continuous value to my clients is my ongoing strategy, as well as to my employees, and in my opinion, this is the number
one rule to a successful business. Here at the Spa, we make sure to do more, give more, be more and serve more every day.”

for something really unique that until now doesn’t yet exists in the spa industry.”
Discussing the success that she has achieved whilst at the Spa, Froso observes that the most important breakthrough she has made was when she was able to listen to her client’s needs and gain a true understanding of their requirements.
“Essentially, I listen to my client’s needs and when they are ready to listen, I talk, and that is success to me. People buy the solution to their problems not the problem itself.” Overall, there are many aspects which have contributed to Hush Boutique Spa being selected in the Business Excellence awards, but it is Froso’s leadership and ability to spot a gap in the market which has been a crucial factor. She signs off by stating her future plans for the business, as she outlines some of the projects that are in the development process for Hush Boutique Spa.
“Ultimately, I’m looking for someone in this field or a business person to franchise my system globally. I believe that I not only can train and teach employees to become Inspirational Beauty Experts, but also my mission is to empower women feel more feminine and have more self-esteem by being themselves and improving that through beauty. “Moving forward, a future project for me and my team is creating self-development seminars for our customers worldwide, and for people within our industry to teach others how to create a successful

In the last few decades of the 20th century, when ferry was the only transportation across the Victoria Harbour, HKF was the largest sea transport provider in Hong Kong. As time passed, with the construction of Cross Harbour Tunnel and the Mass Transit Railway, the importance of passenger ferry services obviously declined. Therefore, HKF decided to let go passenger transportation services, and only retain her franchise dangerous goods vehicular ferry service operated by The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Co. Ltd. (HYF), a subsidiary of HKF which has expertise for over 15 years in providing 24-hour dangerous goods ferry services for vehicles. This proved to be a good choice, as HYF won the CILTHK Award – Service Excellence through Innovation in 2011 granted by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong, and has been awarding ISO 9001 Certificate since 2006 to present for recognizing her proper, safe but

units at Kowloon West, was successfully built at that time. Following this, HKF developed several more residential buildings and estates, including Metro Regalia, Shining Heights, The Spectacle and Metro 6 at Kowloon side, and Green Code in New Territories, and all of these properties gained good market feedback.

Best Healthy Food & Beverage Supplier - London Company: Arapina Bakery Contact: Michaela Pontiki Address: 8 Little Thames Walk, London, SE8 3FB, UK Phone: 020 8469 1764
Arapina Bakery Arapina is an award winning Healthy Lifestyle Bakery offering free from and low in options to a sophisticated clientele. Owner Michaela Pontiki tells us more about the establishment and the range of delicacies it has to offer. Arapina offers a range of Mediterranean style dishes designed to meet the varied needs of its visitors. Michaela discusses how she has driven the business to excellence over the years to create the exceptional reputation that the bakery enjoys today.
“Here at Arapina, our clientele ranges from businesses who we supply goods to, to wedding planners, corporate clients and healthy individuals that look after themselves. I, as the business owner, am very proud to be part of this healthy eating revolution that currently takes place in the UK. “As a professional I have recently moved into the business development and strategy part of the business however I am proud to have passed through all positions within the company. It is my belief that the evolution of a business is like the growing up of a child. Although one feels prepared for the present and the near future one can feel tricked over by the growing demands of it. In other words, business can be overwhelming, and flexibility in one’s plans is imperative. Strategies
can change; however, the focus, in our case fresh, healthy products, must remain at the centre of one’s attention.” Overall, as the healthy eating market continues to thrive and expand, businesses within it must adapt to ensure their continued success. As such, in her concluding comments Michaela outlines how Arapina will move to build upon its current success and expand into exciting new markets.
“Within the healthy eating market, I believe that, going forward, the growth of veganism as a lifestyle choice as well as the information around allergens will certainly help the sector we are in. The increase on the numbers of people who embark on different food choices is growing phenomenally, and I feel that companies who have been at the forefront of those developments will benefit the most out of it. “To ensure that Arapina is part of this healthy eating revolution, we are currently looking to open additional locations around London while we expand our wholesale activity, so that we can supply our delicious healthy treats to an even wider range of clients over the years to come.”
