ishga is proud to partner with some of the country’s most beautiful luxury spas across the UK, and beyond. Earlier this month, we welcomed 140 delegates representing 70 ishga spa partners to Glasgow for our annual ishga Conference for a fantastic day of learning, networking and celebrating. We shared the latest ishga updates and developments, and heard from inspiring guest speakers, before hosting our inaugral ishga Awards to recognise the hard work and achievements of our spa partner teams who deliver wonderful ishga treatments to you!

The teams we work with truly deserve this recognition. Read below what our award winners had to say about what their wins meant to them.

Most Improved Spa (overall growth) - Spa at Blythswood

“It was such an honour to win this award and just highlights all of the hard work the team have put in over the course of the year to really drive the spa forward and promote and educate our guests in ishga. None of this would be possible without a team, who are constantly striving to be the best at what they do and truly devoting themselves to ensuring that all guests that come through our door are leaving with the best possible experience and treatments.”  - Shameela Ali, Head of Spa & Leisure, Spa at Blythswood

ishga Ambassador of the Year - Kim Marsh, Ribby Hall

"I was blown away at ishga conference this year to be announced their 2025 Ambassador. What an honour and a joy to receive such a beautiful award of a Quaich that also symbolises Truth and Friendship. This beautiful bowl shows symmetry to the ishga brand, The Spa Hotel’s values, and my own true belief that people we meet and work with become friends through truth, not just colleagues.

It has, and continues to be a journey of adventure with ishga products being used and sold in our Spa, the innovative approach to skincare, the credibility through the soil association and its many awards in 2024 has elevated the importance of true organic sustainability being part of a skincare routine,  which simply reminds us daily how precious and amazing nature is.

Thank you ishga, I am truly humbled by the recognition in this award. It helps to make my job so rewarding. I wish for you all continued success in truth and friendship." - Kim Marsh, Spa Duty Manager, Ribby Hall

Best retail to professional product ratio - Crerar Loch Fyne Hotel & Spa

“Winning the professional to retail order ratio was a real surprise. My team have been amazing at consistently working towards a retail target every month.
