ARTESIAN SPAS UK CELEBRATES THEIR 20TH ANNIVERSARY

ARTESIAN SPAS UK 20TH ANNIVERSARY

October marked a very special month for Artesian Spas UK as the company celebrates 20 years of success in the hot tub industry.

To mark such a fantastic milestone and to celebrate their achievements, the Artesian team along with a selection of their retailers, visited Artesian Spas Head Quarters in Las Vegas.

The trip was an incredible opportunity for dealers to visit the factory in America, expand their knowledge of Artesian even further, network with like-minded dealers and celebrate their incredible efforts over the last few years.

With an outstanding commitment towards technological innovation, energy efficiency, performance, quality and customer care, Artesian Spas has grown into one of the most recognised names within the hot tub industry.

ARTESIAN EUROPE’S HISTORY

It all began back in 1998 when Rob Stirland embarked on a journey into the wet leisure industry setting up a small hot tub showroom in Doncaster. Spotting a gap in the market for a high-end product it was in 2002 that Rob chose Artesian Spas after a visit to their factory in the USA.

Rob initially set up their retail and distribution centre in a small unit at Branton, Doncaster in 2001 but the team now operate from a 10,000 sq ft purpose-built showroom and distribution centre just off Wheatley Hall Road.

In 2009, Rob’s daughter, Victoria along with husband Simon and business partner Gareth, became the new Directors of Artesian Spas allowing Rob to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Artesian Spas UK have continued to expand year on year and are now distributing their products all over the continent including Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and Scandinavia.

Throughout its 20-year history, Artesian Spas UK has proudly remained focused on product integrity, quality and customer service, with a commitment to building a strong dealer network to provide customers with the knowledge and power to make an educated purchase.

Artesian Spas UK, still to this day remains, a fully family-owned operation with headquarters in Doncaster and retailers throughout the U.K and Western Europe.

Victoria Wrigglesworth, Managing Director of the company said “Artesian Spas has gained world-wide recognition by being at the forefront of the industry with their unique handcrafted artistry, performance innovation and remarkable quality. We’re extremely proud to distribute without doubt, one of the industry’s most premium hot tub brands for all these years and we continue to be committed to providing the industry with the best of the best.”
