World Of Spas is a professional supplier and installer of hot tubs and spas, focusing on the retail sector with show sites at locations such as prestigious garden centres. The Company is seeking to establish a national network of franchisees supplying its exclusive product range.

"I've never experienced a customer's desire to own a product like I have selling hot tubs," says World of Spas franchisee James Pitsillides, who launched his Atherstone, Warwickshire-based business in April last year after being introduced to the company as a customer. "From a standing start the business has performed better than expected - I will have done £35,000 worth of business by the end of year one."

This concept has huge market potential

Established in November 2003 the company operates retail sites in Huntingdon and Peterborough. World Of Spas International Ltd has been formed specifically to act as the launch pad for franchise development in the UK. With the assistance of franchise consultancy FDS, World of Spas International has completed the creation of a turnkey franchise package and has already established its first two franchise operations in Warickshire.

"The hot tub industry is in a mature stage in North America with approximately 40Of0O0 hot tubs sold annually," says Managing Director Lee Oakey. "At present there are some 35,000 hot tubs installed each year in Europe with 11,000 of those in the UK. With these figures increasing year on year, the UK is now the fastest growing market for hot tubs outside of the USA. However, the UK market is still in its infancy with approximately 100,000 homes equipped with hot tubs, leaving a colossal potential to expand into a rapidly growing market."

Expand into a rapidly growing market

"The desire for our hot tubs is unparalleled and with gross individual order values between £3,500 and £31,000 and approximate gross margins of 41% I believe that we are now able to offer a business opportunity unlike any other."

The business concept is focused on establishing locations in the retail sector, such as in display areas in garden centres. The product range is secured through an exclusive agreement with the industries top suppliers, including Jacuzzi and Dimension 1 amongst others and is made affordable to potential customers via flexible funding. "The spas that World of Spas supplies are the most innovative, and technologically advanced range available. Just take a look at the new Amore Bay featured here. It is simply breathtaking" says Grendon, Warwickshire-based franchisee Mark Anthony. "World of Spas has put together the total package, with man management, sales training and a business blueprint that covers every aspect of the business - from putting the key in the door to your head hitting your pillow!"

World of Spas is seeking franchisees who have a real commitment to quality service, possess organisational and communications skills and a ability to lead others.

"We have structured a very comprehensive 12 day training programme covering every aspect of the business, designed to fast track you through all the operating procedures," says Lee. "Your role will be to develop your business, recruit and train quality staff, maintain the high professional standards we have set, and maximise the World Of Spas opportunity in your territory. This concept has huge market potential and, with the chemicals, accessories and servicing, provides ongoing repeat business."
