Grand Jersey wins prestigious award two years in a row
Grand Jersey is making a splash in the UK spa industry after winning a national award for the second year in succession.
The Spa at Grand Jersey has been named as the Residential Spa of the Year (ten rooms or fewer) at the Professional Beauty Awards 2010 at a glittering ceremony in London.
The Spa, which is managed by Jane Turner, was awarded the same accolade in 2009 following a multi million pound refurbishment.
‘I am delighted for our team as this really is an esteemed award and to have now won it two years in a row is a significant accomplishment. It is thanks to the dedication and belief that our team have in our product that we won this prestigious accolade. There were some fantastic spas shortlisted and I am very proud that ours came out on top,’ said Jane Turner, Spa Manager at Grand Jersey.
The Spa at Grand Jersey beat strong competition to make it onto the much-coveted shortlist of six and in the process had to satisfy a strict entry criteria. This included offering a spa that makes customers and staff feel welcome and special, exceptional standards of customer service, knowledgeable, well-trained and professional staff.
The Professional Beauty Awards are the most respected awards for the beauty, nails and spa industries, recognising those who make a real difference to the industry..
Jenni Middleton, editor of Professional Beauty magazine commented:
‘Our expectation was that we'd see standards drop this year. Times are tough, it's hard to keep motivated and it's even harder to get money in the till to spend on the little flourishes that set you apart. But what the mystery shoppers, my editorial team and our judges have consistently found is that the standard has been even higher this year. When the going gets tough, the tough cleanse, tone and moisturise.’
All of the shortlisted salons and spas were visited and interviewed by a member of the Professional Beauty editorial team before being mystery shopped. Therapists, nail professionals and make-up artists were also trade tested. The judging panel was impressed with Spa at Grand Jersey and commented that ‘consistency and the wow factor go hand in hand for this winner.’
The annual awards bring together over 500 beauty professionals to honour those who have performed outstandingly over the last year. Co-creator of Smack the Pony, actress and comedienne, Sally Phillips hosted the ceremony.
The Spa at Grand Jersey will be holding an official launch event for its new product range soon. The Spa has secured an exclusive deal with world-renowned brand, ESPA, to be Jersey’s only spa using and retailing its distinguished products.
