Aqua Sana Spa has been named Employer of the Year at the Professional Beauty Awards 2024.

The winners were announced during a black-tie event at The Brewery in London, where more than 600 leading beauty industry figures gathered to celebrate the finalists.

More than 800 people are employed across the six spas in the UK and Ireland, including staff at Elveden Forest, near Thetford and Mildenhall.

Stuart Angus, director of spa for Aqua Sana, said: “To be awarded such an accolade within the spa industry is extremely rewarding, for not only Aqua Sana but also our people across both our villages and head office.

“As a business we are committed to providing a prodigious and diverse environment to work, which encourages our employees to reach their full potential.

“To be recognised for this demonstrates how committed Aqua Sana is in creating such an incredible place to work.”

The Professional Beauty Awards are judged by independent industry experts, with every shortlisted salon, spa and clinic interviewed by a member of the judging team.

Introducing the awards on the night, Eve Oxberry, editor of Professional Beauty Magazine, said: “The Professional Beauty Awards have been running for 27 years now, so we know what a great beauty business looks like.

“We know that with increasing competition in the market, it’s more important than ever to shine a light on the people and businesses that are doing it right.

“These awards are all about raising the profile of the businesses and individuals who are setting new standards in the beauty and wellness industry.”
