Dermalogica’s head of partnership acceleration, UK and Ireland, about her own background and what makes Dermalogica an ideal spa partner. Tell us about yourself and your current role at Dermalogica? I am a trained skin therapist and qualified in 1996. My first entry into the world of spa was at The Belfry Hotel [near Birmingham, UK], where I began working part-
time as a therapist while still studying. In 1999, the business expanded to include ten treatment rooms, two relaxation rooms, a nail bar, a makeup bar, a hair salon and a new Fire and Ice spa area, adopting a new name, Belfry Hotel and Spa. I learnt a lot from the owners of Obsession Salon and Spas, which was the concession in the spa back then. At the age of 23, I set up Healthworks Spa in the new Village Hotel Dudley, where I succeeded in hitting my budget targets within 18 months. www.europeanspamagazine.com
