Superior Wellness welcomed its partner network to the Annual Partner Conference and Awards at its Chesterfield HQ followed by an afternoon and evening at the Casa Hotel, Chesterfield.
On Wednesday 8 March 2023 Superior Wellness partners from all over the UK and Europe made the journey to Chesterfield for the opportunity to view the new products and receive demonstrations. The brand-new Hekla Sauna, Chill Tub, Aquark Heat Pumps and the Hydralyft were on display with the sales team talking through in detail about them and answering questions. The demos followed an opening speech from Rob Carlin, Managing Director who thanked partners for making the journey and for their support.
Those who had not been to the HQ before were then invited on a tour of the facilities. This included a tour of the office space, on-site gym, warehouse and new marketing studio. The marketing studio opened last year and is being utilised by the marketing team to improve digital content and product photography.
In the afternoon, Gareth Ward, Sales Director presented to the network and talked about the achievements and challenges of the last 12 months as well talking about future plans. For the remainder of the afternoon, those in attendance enjoyed the Crystal Maze Challenge led by leading events company Eventurous. This was a chance to test communication skills, working together as a team and for people to work alongside others that they haven’t met before.
Superior Wellness then hosted a formal awards ceremony in the Barcelona suite, in the evening. There were 19 awards in total ranging from highest performing partner per hot tub brand, Showroom of the Year, to the prestigious partner of excellence award.
