BOUTIQUE HOTELIER AWARDS 2022 BEST SPA PRODUCT

Some of the Premier Software team travelled to London on the 4th October to attend the Boutique Hotelier Awards 2022. The night was full of celebration, with the industry coming together to recognise the hard work that goes on throughout a year.

A huge congratulations goes out to The Spa at Bedford Lodge for winning the Best Boutique Spa category, as sponsored by Premier Software.

We were also proud to accept the award for Best Spa Product on the night. With over 28 years’ experience developing and perfecting software solutions for the spa, wellness and leisure industries, it’s truly brilliant to be recognised as best in the marketplace.

MACMILLAN COFFEE MORNING

Premier Software held another Macmillan Coffee Morning on 30th September. The team created all kinds of sweet and savoury treats to raise money for the cause.

From chilli to cheesecake, all taste buds were satisfied. Meanwhile, £229.45 was raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Q4 CORE FORUM

Our final Core by Premier Software® forum of 2022 took place on the 11th October to much success.

Clients from Mallory Court, Club and Spa Chester, and Reynolds Group attended the event to hear about Core’s new features and functionality, while learning about how key integrations with Wowcher, Spabreaks.com, and onejourney® can help strengthen their system’s capabilities.

Made for Life Organics also joined us to discuss the importance of offering treatments to those who need it most (more on this below).

If you missed out this time, don’t worry! We will be hosting more Core forums in 2023. Keep your eyes peeled on your inbox for more details landing next year.

HAIR AND BEAUTY INDUSTRY SHOWS FRAGILITY

A recent survey by the National Hair and Beauty Federation revealed that only 49% of businesses in the hair and beauty sector are confident of survival. This is down from 64% previously recorded in July.
While the industry saw periods of recovery in September 2021 and July 2022, the latest results show a struggling industry. This is undoubtedly due in part to rising energy, supplier and staff costs.

MFL PARTNERSHIP

We are proud to partner with Made for Life Organics to help make spas more inclusive by training staff in Cancer Touch Therapy.

Throughout 2022, any spa that uses or purchases Core by Premier Software® will receive 25% off Made for Life’s Cancer Touch Therapy™ qualification.

As part of throwing spa doors wide, Made for Life are also holding a Winter Warmer Tea and Therapy event on 16th November at Carden Park. Here, those who are experiencing or recovering from cancer can learn about seasonal wellness rituals and self-care. Mini Made for Life treatments will also be available.
