3 Developed IN the UK, FOR the UK What our delegates had to say about the Event... Spa Life UK provided a great opportunity to network and meet with industry experts. It combines the key influencers in the industry with the relevant suppliers. The content within the sessions was varied and appealed to all, including Spa Managers, Directors and Consultants. Ultimately, Spa Life provides a rare opportunity to step away from your business and reflect where the opportunities and challenges lie. Catherine Ferma, Spa Director, PZ Cuzzons Beauty Having attended every Spa Life event since 2010, I believe you have evolved the format brilliantly and there has been a different flavour to each one - continually improving the format. The Spa Life FORUM was excellent;- we are already into stage two discussions with some companies we met at this Event. Charlie Thompson, Head of Health & Beauty, Virgin Active A really great event; so well attended by industry leaders. The two days covered everything, so I am sure all delegates were able to take away something to improve their business I certainly did and will be back next year. Many thanks to all the organisers. Jo Parker, Group Spa Director, Champneys Excellent event; uplifting key note presentation and I enjoyed every session throughout the day. Well organised throughout with a real Spa feel. Darren Dixon, Director, The Club and Spa at DoubleTree by Hilton "Spa Life is emerging as the No1 UK event for spa professionals who want to network, exchange ideas, keep up-to-date with international trends and locate new, relevant products & services for their spa venues. Each year the Event has been both inspiring and commercially valuable and will definitely be on my annual calendar from here on in". Lina Lotto, Spa Director, SenSpa at Careys Manor Thank you very much for organising the Conference. It was very enjoyable and extremely interesting. This is a Conference that is very much needed in our Industry and the programme was put together so well, there was something - and more - for everyone. I hope this will be the first of many" Dorothy Purdew OBE. Owner, Champneys Resorts "I have to say that I was impressed with the whole event. The programme was attractive, the venue was a good choice, and the seminars, on the whole were useful. I took the contacts of most sponsors and have already met up with one which will realise at least 5,000 of business for them. Justin Butlin. Partnership Manager, Serco Leisure

5 A leading Event for the industry s leaders What our Partners had to say... Simply brilliant - a fantastic way to do business. We have already re-booked for our 4 th successive year.

We believe the Spa Life event has quickly become the one must-attend event & Expo as it is attracting the right audience into an environment which is more beneficial for discerning brands compared with larger, more diverse exhibitions. Carole Jones, MD, Totally UK... We thought the whole Event was excellent well organised, well promoted and well delivered. Having so many quality operators under one roof at a good quality conference, plus the supplier show-case is a great combination. We picked up three new clients as a direct result of the Event and look forward to future Events where we are confident we can do just as well Barbara Cook. MD, BC Softwear... The event was great for us and we did very well from it in terms of new business. We would love to be part of this Event again next year Lisa Gerrard.
