Thalgo Group appoints new General Manager in the UK
Caroline Mahe-Lea has been appointed as General Manager for Thalgo Group UK, following Marian Harvey's retirement at the end of July. Caroline will be based in Thalgo's London office with the aim of developing the business and strengthening the brand as a continued leader in the world of marine therapies.
Caroline
has a wealth of experience in the global spa market and will be responsible for
supporting and developing Thalgo's UK spa and salon partners through the
delivery of widely recognised and effective marine based treatments and
products.
Caroline
says “This is such an exciting opportunity to take the reins of this
position and a real privilege to be able to evolve in such a great family-owned
company as Thalgo. Having our President, Jean-Claude and Managing Director,
Bernard Sirop put their trust in me is truly appreciated and I am relishing the
challenge. I am passionate about our brand values and all the amazing projects
and launches that will be developed in the future. I thank Marian for her
dedication and hard work over the past 38 years and leaving us with a strong
brand in the UK to take further forward ”.
Caroline
began her career in 2003 in the hospitality industry in Paris starting out as a
receptionist, then sales representative and moving onto an International sales
manager position (Europe, USA, South America). From there, Caroline moved to
Brittany to join Miramar Crouesty (now Miramar La Cigale) as Sales and
Marketing Manager which is where she discovered the thalassotherapy and
well-being industry. She was especially inspired by how the power of the
sea could help prevent health issues, strengthen and reinforce the immune
system, and relieve stress and emotional issues. It was here that Caroline was
first introduced to Thalgo and when Thalgo opened their own thalassotherapy
centre in 2015 in Concarneau (Brittany), Caroline was offered the position of
General Manager so became part of the Thalgo family. It was hugely exciting to
create a unique relaxing and restorative place offering all Thalgo‘s
hydrotherapy, facial and body treatments. Following the success of
Concarneau, in 2018, Caroline took on the management of two more venues,
Thalasso Spa les Issambres (St Tropez Gulf) and Villa Thalgo, the Parisian flag
ship where she had the opportunity to redevelop the treatment offer, secure the
business and turnover, re-organise the team and implement new processes.
