Bannatyne Group

Bannatyne Spa Falkirk has brushed aside the competition to be named as the Best Multi-Site Beauty Salon in Scotland at Scotlands Business Awards.

The national accolade follows a rigorous selection process, with 800 businesses nominated across Scotland for regional awards in 2023. Out of these, 150 businesses secured regional honours and progressed to the national finals, held at the Doubletree Hilton in Glasgow.

A delighted Gemma McGregor, spa manager at Bannatyne Spa Falkirk, said, "This achievement is a testament to the dedication and skill of our entire team. We are all extremely proud of this achievement and very grateful to the support from our amazing clientele base and everyone at The Bannatyne Group.

“We place a huge emphasis on continuing to develop our skills. Our team has experiences from different backgrounds and specialisms, gained through previous employment and training from Inverness UHI, West Lothian College, Forth Valley College and Glasgow College. and we have shared best practice amongst us so we can offer clients the service they want and deserve. There is no doubt that this approach has helped to clinch this victory.”

Bannatyne Health Club Perth also collected an award on the evening, with Gemma’s twin sister, the sales and marketing manager there, collecting the Best Multi-Site Health Club trophy.

Duncan Bannatyne, chairman, and chief executive of The Bannatyne Group, reflected Gemma’s pride, saying: "I am thrilled to see Bannatyne Spa Falkirk receiving this prestigious national award and I want to thank the team for their commitment to excellence.

“This triumph not only enhances The Bannatyne Group's reputation as a leader in the health and wellbeing industry, but also sets the benchmark for excellence in beauty services across Scotland. I couldn’t be more proud of the team.”

The Spa team at the health club comprises Leea Maguire, Jade Manson, Jade McKinlay, Sophie Clydesdale, Sarah Gibson and Huba Ahmed.
