** New Awards Recognising Exceptional Individuals in the Global Spa, Beauty and Wellness Industry Launches 1st July **

 

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 30, 2020:   Spa Connectors, a global company offering business, training and recruitment solutions to the spa industry, specialising in 5-star hotels, resorts, stand-alone spas and wellness concepts is driving a movement to reward talent in the community on a global scale by launching The Hall of Wellness Awards 2020. Independently as a business, Spa Connectors are passionate about nurturing talent in their own unique ways within spas, salons and wellness facilities worldwide. Now, they aspire to bring them together on a global stage by launching awards where an industry divided by borders will be united in their passion and commitment to their expertise celebrating all individuals in a virtual awards ceremony that is inclusive of the industry across all levels. 

 

The Hall of Wellness Awards not only recognises extraordinary individuals, but also looks to elevate the industry as a whole. The HOW Awards is designed as a CSR initiative to give back to the people that make up the industry and to create a stimulus within the industry's training sector. A scholarship fund, evolving from the sponsorship money for the Awards, will contribute to upskilling anyone deserving of it – from therapists to managers.

 

The awards will take place on the 4th December 2020, with nominations opening on 1st July. All submissions will be judged by a carefully selected panel of industry experts. Nominations can be self, or peer nominated, and entrants will then embark on a stringent judging process to help unearth the industry's best.
