The Future Is TylöHelo South East Wellness Business The Hot Tub and Swim Spa Company has become the first wellness business in the South East of England to supply TylöHelo saunas and steam rooms, bringing the world-renowned brand to customers in London and the surrounding area. Managing Director Christina Mantoura Clarke made the decision to represent TylöHelo following a recommendation from the brand’s UK distributor Golden Coast, with whom the Kentbased company has worked for a number of years. “We have a lot of time for the Golden Coast team, and I was intrigued to find out more about what they were offering with TylöHelo,” said Christina. Golden Coast Technical Sales expert Erik Soderlund and Sales Director Adam Clark subsequently offered Christina and her team a rare opportunity to see TylöHelo products up close, by organising a trip to TylöHelo factory in Sweden. “It was really beneficial to go to the Tylo factory. You can see the team working on every aspect

of the sauna, right through to them actually building it in the factory,” explained Christina. “You get to meet the people that make it and it brings the product to life. It was fascinating and a real pleasure. We were able to really engage with the products, and we realised that TylöHelo was the future.” Motivated by the factory trip, Christina chose to have a unique, customised display built at her company’s showroom in Kent, based on suggestions from Golden Coast. The 3m display comprises three mini saunas that include a range of wood types, benches, handles, lighting and stoves, as well as infrared sauna options. “The display takes up a sixth of our entire showroom, which is huge, but Golden Coast helped us design a concept that maximises the space, and really shows off all the different features in the range,” said Christina. “We’re really happy with it.” Golden Coast 01271 378100 www.goldenc.co
