Welcome to JOYFUL JANUARY!
I really hope you have managed to enjoy a wonderful festive season and New Year, in which ever way you chose to celebrate. It is so great to slow down a bit, enjoy catch ups with friends and family and sign off an old year and welcome in a new one. I have to say in TEMPLESPA we had multiple celebrations, we know how to work hard and then play hard!
For us, 2025 is going to be a year of significance as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary as a brand and business. It’s hard to imagine that 25 years ago we were embarking upon a new millennium, a new year, a new brand, a new business and for the both of us, a new start. It was just Mark and I, and a blank sheet of paper with the words TEMPLE SPA on! And here we are 25 years on, and we are so grateful to YOU, our beautiful customers our supply partners and our faithful clients who have supported us through all, or part of this time.
There is a saying, “if you build it, they will come” and I guess we bravely created something that we believed in and it’s humbling when people do indeed become part of that creation.
In TEMPLESPA we believe in continuous improvement, so I’m pleased to say the brand has come a long way over the past 25 years. We have re-developed our formulas when we’ve found even better ingredients or techniques, we’ve updated and upgraded our packaging and sustainability is at the forefront of our agenda. We have developed what I can honestly say are the most incredible facial and spa treatments you will experience anywhere, if you haven’t been to one of our spas, be sure to put that on your New Year list. Head over to our Spa Finder to locate one near you.
We’ve enhanced our design and style and we seek to always be relevant and fresh. I’m happy to say that it’s no longer just Mark and I! We’ve surrounded ourselves with the brightest of minds, smartest of people and a most beautiful team who we love with a passion. We have six decades of ages which means we have the vigour of youth and wisdom of age. Philanthropy continues to be our heartbeat, having raised over £1.8m in the last 10 years alone for some incredible charitable causes.
We always like to celebrate a major anniversary with a NEW product and I’m very excited to let you know we have TWO major launches coming up this month and next.
So with this in mind, do mark 13th January at 7pm in your diary when we will go live with an incredible new skincare product. We have been working on this first particular product since July 2022, from concept and research to trialling formulas and finalising the design and product name. All I can say (and am allowed to tease!) is simply WOW! We’ve had outstanding independent user trial reviews and the results from our independent clinical trial will show the power this product holds. That’s all I’m saying for now, but you will want to get your hands on one that’s for sure!
I wonder what your story in 2025 is going to be. I often talk about having your horizon firmly in your sight and while at times it may seem so far away, if you keep looking up not down and continue to walk towards it, even baby steps can have great progress. It’s hugely important to enjoy, not endure the journey though.
As a couple who have co-founded a 25-year-old business, we have had more than our fair share of ups and downs along the way, but we still have to take time to celebrate milestones, little and big wins and have moments of great gratitude and joy. This is one of the keys to success.
So, I send you my very best wishes and love for the 2025 that lies ahead.
Much love,
Liz x
