WHATS IN THIS ISSUE...

BEACON OF EXCELLENCE

The University of Portsmouth has partnered with Technogym to unveil the state-of-the-art Ravelin Sports Centre Gym

The University of Portsmouth is a dynamic, forwardthinking university with ambitions to be the top modern university in the UK.

The all-new Ravelin Sports Centre building is a multi-purpose site open to staff, students, and the local community. Along with teaching facilities it contains a 175-station Technogym gym, studios, climbing wall, ski simulator, a 25m pool and an eight-court sports hall.

The University of Portsmouth’s priority is providing a quality education experience to its 25,000 students, which includes supporting student welfare and wellbeing throughout their time in higher education.

Investment in the campus and in student services is vital to achieving these visions and ambitions. The new sports centre and gym will encourage active lifestyle participation, support elite athletes in their goals, and help members of the community improve their fitness and wellbeing.

The new sports centre is an outstanding facility with a focus on sustainability, a diverse and accessible range of facilities and state of the art

equipment. Situated at the heart of the campus which is itself in the centre of the city, it serves as a welcoming beacon for participation in physical activity.

FULLY-EQUIPPED TECHNOGYM GYM

The University worked in partnership with Technogym to design and equip the new space. It features 175 stations, with the most cutting-edge equipment Technogym offers, including Technogym Bike and Bench, Skillrun and Skillmill, Skillrow format and Skillbike format. The cardio area is complete with the full Excite Live cardio range with its motivating content and large digital displays. Resistance equipment includes

Technogym Pure Strength and Selection lines. The project makes great use of Technogym’s most advanced digital solutions, including mywellness app and the Group Cycle format for classes and on-demand content.

LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP WITH SHARED VALUES

The sports department at the University is committed to delivering an outstanding student experience in sport, whether that’s encouraging first-time users of the gym or supporting elite athletes in competition. Charlotte Doyle, deputy head of sport explains why partnering with Technogym was significant to this ground breaking project.

“It’s important we align with companies with similar values,” she says. “Technogym is committed to wellness in everything it does, and we knew they could support us in our goals.”

Paul Tilley, head of sport and recreation, agreed that the University’s long-term partnership with Technogym enables it to deliver excellence and offer the highest standards to students, staff, and the community.

“Technogym offers us close support across many areas, including technology, marketing, customer feedback and equipment mix. This includes the best solution to meet our needs and it’s a perfect fit for us and our sectorleading building. We really feel part of the Technogym family.”

ENTHUSIASTIC FEEDBACK FROM ACROSS THE STUDENT BODY

Since it opened at the start of the new academic year, feedback for the Ravelin Sports Centre gym has been enthusiastically positive. Users report being amazed by the facility’s equipment mix and innovative technology offered by Technogym’s equipment. Students in particular are delighted their University partnered

with a forward-thinking and technology-led provider such as Technogym. Having such an incredible facility in the heart of their campus is helping connect students and bring valuable structure to their days.

Finlay Morgan is a sport and exercise science student. He’s been enjoying the high-tech nature of the equipment. “The Technogym kit is really advanced,” he said. “The interactive displays help with motivation and I like being able to challenge myself against my friends. Technogym Bike is great for intense training, the display really helps me get the most out of my session.”

It’s not just sports students who are enjoying the new gym facility. Engagement is high across the whole student body, proving that the centre is helping tackle serious issues such as student loneliness by giving students a feeling of connection, whether they’re on or off campus. The quality and variety of facilities is encouraging students onto campus and motivating them to try new ways of engaging with fitness and sport.

Leah Lewis is an international business student who thinks the Ravelin gym is world-class. “I absolutely love the gym, the equipment is so accessible with easy instructions and digital content,”

she said. “We’ve got equipment I’ve never seen before! I like coming to the gym to let off steam and get a break from studying, as well as keeping fit on all this amazing equipment.”

BLENDING TECH AND SUSTAINABILITY

The new sports centre is built to the highest standards of technology, innovation, and sustainability. The University hopes it will welcome a million visitors a year including around 8,000 members per year.

Bernie Topham, deputy vice chancellor and chief operating officer, is immensely proud of the unique new facilities. She explains how the new sports centre helps the university support its students and the wider community.

“We have a high performing sports and exercise programme, and these facilities will support existing students and encourage future students to study with us,” she said. “The new sports centre also helps us play our part in making Portsmouth a healthier place to live. We work closely with residents and key partners there, and also use the facilities to train young people who will go on to careers in helping others.”

PURE LONDON REVEALS PROMOSTYL TREND SESSIONS

Pure London, the UK’s leading trade fashion buying event taking place on 12th-14th February 2023 at Olympia London, has announced a series of trend sessions by its trend partner Promostyl.

STRAIGHT FROM PARIS, Promostyl will feature on the Pure London Catwalk with upcoming trends which include Pure London’s creative campaign for February 23, New Nobleness. Offering retailers a unique opportunity to uncover the colours and styles their customers will want, visitors can also visit the Promostyl stand throughout the show for trend advice and trend forecasting and enter to win free digital training by a Promostyl Trend Forecaster worth over 3000Euros.

Opening the content programme on the Pure Catwalk on Sunday 12th February at 10.30am, join Sebastien Renault and Malaika Ewande, both Artistic Directors from Promostyl for Nobleness: Elevated Tradition Sets the Tone for the Season. The trends of the AW23-24 season are overflowing with new wardrobe codes and the representation of status and power is more present than ever. This season’s Nobleness theme perfectly represents the introduction of this new era of fashion with codes drawn from heritage, luxury craftsmanship, classic and iconic luxury pieces. This mix of established classics and new casual elegance brings a boldness to our wardrobe with a mix

of traditional English, equestrian and street art. Promostyl’s session will dive into this new trend, taking visitors on an eclectic journey through the range of colours, silhouettes, fabrics, key products, prints and more!

On Monday 13th February at 10.30am, Promostyl presents Trend Update: AW23 Window Shopping Trends. This season is made for reset and innovation, an evolution of a creative world without limits. The trend is no longer limited to the clothing alone but to the retail environment around it. The customer experience promotes a unique lifestyle and gives storytelling to the fashion brand. Stores are disguised as cornfields, spaceships, and even speakeasies, to make the purchase memorable. Promostyl will illustrate how to buy into the trend, but also sell these trends through immersive sales experiences.

Gloria Sandrucci, Event Director, Pure London says, “Since 1966, Paris-based Promostyl has advised global businesses and brands with trend book fashion, brand strategy, and collection development, using societal, cultural, economic, artistic, and technological evolutions and key markers to determine market and consumer trends and translate data into style concepts and trend reports. The partnership with the Parisian agency feels like a natural fit for Pure London and I am excited to see their trend presentations at the show in February and to offer our visitors the opportunity to meet our trend forecasting experts one to one for invaluable trend advice.”

Sebastien Renault adds, “We build our forecast working with sociologists and designers in both sectors by observing consumer behaviours and how their needs evolve with our time. From this work we dispatched consumers in four different tribes that allow us to specify and focus our work

and predictions on their needs and values. Our method has proven highly efficient throughout the years as we have seen the very forecasts we had given take over runways and interiors alike. Our expertise also allowed different private clients to create collections and designs that successfully targeted their consumer. It is that same expertise that we believe you’d benefit from by visiting us during the upcoming Pure London show.”

Pure London’s partnership with Promostyl has been nominated in the Exhibition News Marketing Awards 2023 for Best Use of Partnership.

FOUNDER HAIR LOSS STORY: INSPIRING CONFIDENCE WITH BREAKTHROUGH HAIR PRODUCT

Did you know that over 50% of women suffer from hair loss during their lifetime? This can wreak havoc on a person’s self-confidence – as we’ve seen with Jada Pinkett-Smith’s moving story of late.

THERE ARE MANY reasons for hair loss, from stress and menopause to post-partum hormone changes, overstyling and skin conditions.

Alopecia affects 15 in 10,000 people in the UK and today, more and more women are coming forward to share their experiences of the condition.

Nosheen Choudhry struggled for years with alopecia and telogen effluvium – a skin disorder that causes hair to shed from the scalp.

A woman from a long line of mothers, sisters, aunts and daughters with strong, beautiful hair, Nosheen’s acute awareness of her hair and skin conditions led to embarrassment, anxiety and body image issues. She felt inspired to find a solution to help herself and other women dealing with the same problems.

Nosheen Hair Oil was born out of this struggle. A blend of 100% organic and natural cold-pressed oils, the formula is based on an ancient recipe handed down over generations, passed from grandmother to mother and then daughters. Blended with modern science and Nosheen’s tireless and dedicated research.

Nosheen Hair Oil scooped a coveted Highly Commended accolade in the haircare treatment category of the Asos Beauty Awards 2022. Each ingredient in the formula supports stronger, healthier hair and nourishes the scalp, encouraging new hair to grow thicker, fuller and faster. For optimal results, the hair oil can be massaged into the scalp using the fingertips or a scalp massager.

Since launching in November 2020, Nosheen Hair Oil has helped numerous customers to achieve their hair goals. From women dealing with post-partum and post-menopausal hair loss; men, women and children experiencing post-chemotherapy hair loss or alopecia in its various forms, through to those who are simply looking to improve their hair health and have healthier, shiner and fuller hair.

The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, organic and eco friendly and is suitable for all hair types. It can be used on children’s hair, to soften and thicken beard hair and to treat stress and hormone-induced hair issues for people of all ages.

SBTRCT’s solid skincare range is aimed at consumers who want to consider their environmental impact without compromising on their skincare.

The beauty brand is plastic-free, palm oil-free and uses domestically compostable packaging as part of its sustainability initiative. It aims

to address plastic pollution, water waste and over-reliance on palm oil: three of the biggest environmental issues that the beauty industry is currently facing.

The SBTRCT range is also certified cruelty-free and vegan, using ingredients including squalane, glycerin, vitamin C and retinoids. The range currently consists of a Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Moisturising Facial Balm, Makeup Melt, Rejuvenating Night Balm, Clarifying Facial Exfoliator and Vitamin C Booster. All products in the SBTRCT range are available as a starter

kit and include an accessory manufactured from natural materials including bamboo. Most products are available for refill at the H Beauty stores.

SBTRCT founder Ben Grace says: “Launching into H beauty marks a significant and brand-affirming moment for SBTRCT, and it is an honour to see our brand listed within such an iconic and world-renowned retailer. This partnership will support our ambition to reach new audiences, and those who want to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on great skin.”

SCOOP CELEBRATES A TRIUMPHANT AW23 SEASON

The Autumn/Winter 23 edition of contemporary and premium fashion show Scoop closed its doors today celebrating a highly successful 22nd season with its highest ever number of buyers in attendance for an Autumn show.

The space was bustling with buyers from across the country including teams from Matches, Browns, Harrods, Galeries Lafayette, Liberty, Fenwick, John Lewis, Harvey Nichols, Le Bon Marche, and Anthropologie Europe as well as a host of independent boutiques from across the UK including Stanwells, Aria, Chattertons, Cavells, Morley Stores, Pamela Shiffer, Elizabeth Rose, Young Ideas, Cordelia James, Kate Bird, Gemini, Javelin, Jules B, Doyles, McElhinneys and many more.

Amber Truman and Mananchaya Wattanachayakul from Browns commented, “The Saatchi Gallery is a beautiful space and there is a really good mix of contemporary, casual and resort wear designers. It’s also good to see so many international designers, not just the UK. We have seen wonderful collections curated beautifully across Scoop.”

Pamela Shiffer from Pamela Shiffer, London said, “What a beautiful show!  Personally I think it’s been my favourite to date because we picked up three new brands and there are a lot more we are thinking about.  This is exactly the show we need in the UK, a mix of price points and beautifully curated.  Well done to the team!”

Ailsa Feroze from Fabric Boutique, London said, “It’s such a pleasure to visit Scoop.  Plenty of space to get around, beautiful flowers everywhere and wonderful brands to explore!”

Located at the Saatchi Gallery, Chelsea from 29th – 31st January, the show offered an exclusive edit of over 250 contemporary womenswear, menswear, accessory and lifestyle collections expertly curated by the show’s Creative Director and Founder, Karen Radley.

Among the impressive line-up of designers at Scoop were an innovative collection of gender-neutral designers presenting a style of clothing which is growing in popularity with retailers.  Designers included Dzenda, Dedicated and Knowledge Cotton. Dzenda’s first collection reflects a modern and chic identity that elevates the human body with an essence of luxury and removes borders and boundaries in gender title.  Ali Kaptan, Creative Director from Dzenda commented, “Gender neutral is a small but growing sector and it has been fantastic to be showcased alongside other brands in this market. We chose Scoop to launch our collection and the show has been a great success for us!”

Also popular with retailers were brands that appealed to a younger demographic.  Romantic, fanciful and whimsical the Amy Jane London collection of stunning dresses looked beautiful against the gallery back drop. Amy Jane from Amy Jane London said, “We were drawn to showing at Scoop because of its boutique style and high-end reputation.  It has certainly lived up to expectations, the gallery and designers showcased here are beautiful.  It has been a very successful few days for us with a great response from buyers and the other brands we’ve met – It is by far the best show we have been to!”

Sally Ann George at Aspiga, “It is fantastic to be back at The Saatchi Gallery, it is a wonderful venue for the show.  The event is incredibly well organised and we have been very well looked after.  A definite success!”

Jenny Adagio from Onjenu,“We are returning to Scoop this season and the show has been very busy for us.  We have received great feedback from existing and new customers and have achieved fantastic orders.  Everyone you speak to loves Scoop!”

The upbeat response was mirrored by designers showcasing at Scoop for the first time, Marthina Weber from ByTimo commented, “The vibe at Scoop is wonderful.  It has been consistently busy with attendance from great retailers.  We’ve been very successful here and made great orders from a mix of existing and new customers.”

Amy Pass from It’s 9pm, “We chose Scoop to launch our collection, and it has been amazing.  The space is beautiful, and we have had an incredible response from buyers with some brilliant orders!”

Scoop’s exclusive showcase also included stunning collections from, HIGH in collaboration with The Royal Academy of the Arts, Tandem, Hanro, Signal, Les Racines du Ciel, Meme Road, NotShy, BRGN, Ivy Copenhagen, Eberjey, Chelsey Greene, Fringe, Beyond by Vera, Peachaus, Eribe, Gaston Luga, Ines de la Fressange, Transit, as well as menswear from North Sails, Jack&Me, Mos Mosh, and many more.

Musculoskeletal health hub pilot expands to 100 sites as MSK cost to UK hits £5bn a year

• The MSK health hub scheme is the result of a partnership between UK Active, Good Boost, Orthopaedic Research UK, Escape Pain and Arthritis Action

• MSK hubs launched last year in 15 locations and this second phase will see the hubs in 85 further leisure centres and swimming pools

• 20m people in the UK suffer from MSK-related health problems, which affect bones, joints, muscles and the spine

• MSK conditions account for up to 30 per cent of GP consultations in England and cost the NHS around £5bn annually

The second phase of the UK’s MSK (musculoskeletal) health hub pilot will see the service rolled out to an additional 85 swimming pools and leisure centres this month.

The scheme – a collaboration between UK Active, Good Boost, Orthopaedic Research UK, Escape Pain and Arthritis Action – launched last year across 15 sites to support individuals suffering from musculoskeletal health problems. As well as a presence in physical locations, it also provides users with access to a tablet and app for customised guidance and at-home support. There are around 20m people in the UK with musculoskeletal-related health problems, which affect bones, joints, muscles and the spine. The government categorises musculoskeletal conditions into three groups: inflammatory (such as rheumatoid arthritis); musculoskeletal pain (for example, osteoarthritis and back pain); and osteoporosis and fragility fractures.

“The MSK hubs programme demonstrates what great partnership working can achieve: a replicable, rapid deployment package of training, technology and ongoing support,” said Ben Wilkins, CEO of GoodBoost, a tech-forward social enterprise that provides aquaand land-based exercise programmes to MSK sufferers. “This is a great opportunity to transform any leisure

venue, gym or swimming pool into a hub for health and wellbeing, delivering a triple bottom line: greater local health capacity that supports the NHS, increased footfall to leisure facilities and improved MSK health outcomes for local citizens.”

“Our primary purpose is to use our funding to encourage breakthrough research and education programmes in bone, joint and muscle wellbeing, and thereby reduce the burden of poor musculoskeletal health on individuals, workplaces and our health system,” said Arash Angadji, CEO of Orthopaedic Research UK and Escape Pain. “We’re providing a trailblazing, evidence-based, group therapy programme in the UK, which has been proven by NHS England to transform the lives of people suffering from poor musculoskeletal health, and reduce both costs to the NHS and musculoskeletal waiting lists.”

Shantel Irwin, CEO of Arthritis Action believes that the project has the “potential to deliver the blueprint for leisure centres” to become hubs for self-management resources to those with arthritis and mobility issues.

The NHS reports that over 30 million working days are lost in the UK each year due to MSK conditions. They account for up to 30 per cent of GP consultations in England and cost the NHS around £5bn annually.

The MSK health hubs programme is the latest example of the health value provided by the UK’s swimming pools, gyms and leisure centres – some of which are facing closure due to rising energy costs.

In his first speech as UK Active chair last month, Mike Farrar said the physical activity sector must be “at the

heart” of the NHS. Making rehabilitation routinely part of the pathway for stroke, cancer, and musculoskeletal conditions, and providing musculoskeletal support services as an alternative to surgery in care pathways are two of the ways he believes the physical activity sector can support the health service.

“Millions of people are living in pain with musculoskeletal conditions that cause major disruption to their lives,” said Farrar. “The fitness and leisure sector can help reduce the burden on our NHS, social care, and the economy by providing a national activity therapy service, keeping patients out of hospitals and surgeries by encouraging them to use an MSK programme at their local pool, gym or leisure centre.”

UK Active estimates that in the last 12 months at least 350 leisure centres, pools and gyms in the UK either made changes to their services, closed temporarily or permanently in response to energy costs.

A coalition of organisations and leaders in the leisure industry are lobbying the government for additional support from the Energy Bills Discount Scheme, which does not classify swimming pools as energy intensive.

The pilot expansion comes at the same time NHS England and the government announced a Major Conditions Strategy – which should support the case for keeping swimming pools and leisure centres open. The initiative is aimed at tackling conditions such as MSK disorders, mental health problems, dementia, chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases (including stroke and diabetes) and cancer.

FAACE LAUNCHES ITS FIRST DAILY MOISTURISER

Skincare brand Faace has introduced its first ever daily moisturiser, designed to help stop the impact of stress on skin in just 2 hours.

Stress Faaace has a whipped balm formula designed for twice-daily use. The moisturiser is suitable for overtired, overwhelmed, over stimulated skin that is oily, dry, dull or sensitised.

The new formula is packed full of fast-acting plant powered ingredients that will make skin feel

smoother, brighter and less turbulent. Neurophroline leaves skin looking more luminous and evens skin tone, while allantoin and Japanese rice bran oil leave the skin feeling soothed and hydrated.

The calming aroma of the moisturiser works to instantly de-stress, with a soothing fragrance of jasmine, ylang-ylang, geranium and patchouli.

In clinical trials, Stress Faace was found to achieve up to -70% cortisol production inhibition, while in 24 hours it triggered up to +163% b-endorphin production and the activation of stress-regulating genes (for detoxification, antioxidant response, antimicrobial peptide and skin barrier function). It was also proven to achieve up to 57% increase in skin luminosity, over 2 times lower skin redness and up to 99% colour improvement.

Stress Faace is available now at wearefaace.com, RRP £34.

‘I have written a course which enables skincare professionals to gain a certificate in Facial Treatment for Skin of Colour,’ she continues. ‘The purpose of this Beauty Guild-accredited course is to develop knowledge on how to successfully provide facial treatment for clients with different skin types, moving away from specifics around white skin. We build on the existing knowledge of facial skincare, gaining thorough understanding of the specific needs of skin of colour and how to get the best results for your clients. By delivering this knowledge and filling in the gaps, we will bring about a more inclusive future for our industry.’

The beauty school complements Hæckels’ overarching mission of supporting the local community and fostering a new wave of change within the industry.
