A massage therapy company in Shaw has been shortlisted in the UK Small Business Awards.
Hilot Massage Therapy, based on Bath Road in Shaw, has been trading for three years and offers a mixture of holistic and sports therapies.
Owner Cherlina Ogilvie-Robb initially set up Hilot Massage Therapy in her spare room in Shaw. The business grew so quickly that within six months she moved into a purpose-built garden room.
Since then, she has never looked back and now has hundreds of clients on her books, including a Bath Rugby first team player, an ex-Commonwealth swimmer, a bodybuilder and marathon runners.
Due to the business’s continued growth, Cherlina plans to move to new premises in the next couple of months. This will allow her to further expand her offering to include couples’ massages and ladies’ nights.
Cherlina said, “My business was nominated because of the level of care and attention I give to my clients. Whether it’s aromatherapy, a Filipino ‘Hilot’ massage or sports-focused, for the duration of the treatment the only thing that matters to me is the person in front of me. The aftercare is as important as the time I spend with the client, and I always do everything with a smile.”
The final awards ceremony will be held on 13th December at the Official UK Small Business Awards Gold Carpet Event in Birmingham, where Cherlina will find out if her business has won.
