Wellness specialist Spa Vision has opened a new office in Australia to develop its growing presence in the Asia Pacific region.

The new office, in Adelaide, is an addition to the company’s existing UK site, which is near the historic spa town of Bath. Spa Vision Pty Ltd will supply specialist spa, beauty and wellness equipment as well as offer consultancy for new and existing businesses.

Co-founder Susan Auld said: “Asia Pacific geographically is expansive and we feel there are tremendous opportunities to provide our services in the region. We are celebrating 10 years in business this year and we wanted to develop our business further. Opening this new office was the next logical step for us.”

Co-founder Neil Owen has been responsible for opening the new office and is excited by the prospect of developing Spa Vision in a new territory. He said: “We believe Adelaide is a great fit – the city is sophisticated and supports creative and innovative businesses like ours.

"Although not as large as Sydney or Melbourne, it’s centrally located geographically with excellent transport links to Australia’s cities and destination resorts. It also has excellent international links to Asia as well as New Zealand and the South Pacific.”

Having launched the consultancy arm of the business following the acquisition of Spa Developments Consultancy, newly appointed director Colin Cameron said that being closer to the client will be a distinct advantage and open up new opportunities. He said: “The industry is maturing and clients are demanding a higher level of service.

"Our UK office allows us to offer consultancy within Europe and the Middle East and we are now well positioned within Asia Pacific to offer equally high levels of service and support. This is particularly important when offering consultancy services as client contact on site is often required, especially within more complex and lengthy projects."

Spa Vision celebrated 10 years in business this month.
