New Business Hub for Oxford - 134 High

It’s hard to miss the new business hub as you come into Oxford. What was once the Oxford vet clinic has been converted into a modern, stylish hub, housing four businesses.

Social Beauty, Country Physio, Sprout Accounting and Lavender Springs Massage

Social Beauty is owned by Lauren Blake who is a highly experienced beauty therapist. She has worked in the industry for almost 15 years, and has had her own business for 5 years. She has made the move from a home based studio into the premises at 134 High Street. She says “Social Beauty is a welcoming environment for all beauty needs.

I sell a range of retail products and my services I offer are body waxing, brow and lash enhancements, facials, makeup, spray tanning and nails. Lauren is part of the NZ Association of Qualified Beauty Professionals, which means she is trained to a high standard and is fully insured. Strict health and hygiene guidelines are followed to ensure everyones safety. Lauren says “I am a relaxed easy going mum of 3. I look forward to being part of Oxford community and am happy to donate to future events and fundraisers.

Country Physio is a private practice physiotherapy clinic owned by Charlotte Palmer. Charlotte has been a physio for 7 years, and worked in a sports based practice before coming to Oxford. She has another physio on board, Tiana, who works on a Friday. The pair can see both ACC and private injuries, without any need for a referral from your doctor.

Charlotte says “We have a hands-on approach to physio. We like to combine massage etc with exercises to do at home that complement what we've done in the clinic.” If required referrals can be made for x rays, ultrasounds and to specialists or sports doctors. Charlotte says “I enjoy meeting people and helping them get back doing the things they love.”

When she is not at work Charlotte enjoys walking or running with her dog, baking and reading, and crazy home reno projects. The best way to book in to see Charlotte or Tiana is to call 020 400 500 11. You can also book online through the website www.countryphysio.co.nz

Sprout Accountants has been operating in Oxford since 2019 after relocating from Auckland. Owner Gillian says “I was an associate at a large international accounting practice when I left to start my own practice. When I moved to Oxford, my clients all came with me, and we have continued to grow.

I have experience with businesses from sole traders through to listed on the NY stock exchange, and everything in between. I can offer clients the wealth of experience of big city accountants, at a much better price. I also have a good network to tap into, to support clients in all areas of their business.”

When she is not working Gillian loves getting out and about in the outdoors in Canterbury. She is also a keen cyclist and school cycling coach.

To get in touch with Sprout Accountants you can contact them on 03 3121264 or through their website www.sproutaccountants.co.nz.

The Hub has excellent off street parking available and is a warm welcoming environment for these business owners to welcome their clients into.

Owner Stephanie Evans says “I’m very happy that the old vet clinic has new life breathed into it again. It’s an excellent location for any business, and I hope Oxford locals will support them.”
