The secrets of how to drive occupancy and maximise spa profits are often considered as the ‘holy grail’ in a spa operator’s life, particularly when spas generally operate with narrow profit margins. But there is help at hand. Bringing in expert advice can save time and money and provide invaluable support, particularly during challenging times.

At this year’s UK Spa & Wellness Conference, taking place at Center Parcs Elveden, delegates will have the opportunity to pick up some expert advice from Ray Payne – one of the most experienced operators in the UK spa industry.

Ray is a director of Topaz Management Services and boasts a successful career which spans more than 25 years, with 13 of these years spent as the managing director of the Champneys Group, overseeing the company’s health resorts and the development of its town & city spas.

Ray will be offering delegates the benefit of his vast experience with his presentation on how to drive occupancy & maximise profits in your spa. While every spa business is different, this session will examine some of the common challenges faced by the spa sector and offer potential solutions by drawing comparisons between spa and other business sectors to make spa operators re-think their approach to management.

Find out how to assess the challenges, pursue opportunities and mobilise the right resources to provide long-term solutions that will help you realise the true potential of your spa.
