The Massage Company to open £500,000 centre in Kent
BY Lauren Heath-Jones
On-demand massage service The Massage Company (TMC) is set to expand its UK footprint with the opening of its second massage centre in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Expected to open in September this year, the £500,000 centre will be located inside a 200-year-old brewery on Monson Street and will house 14 treatment rooms, including a duo treatment room for couples, and a large reception area. Paul Nichols from Savills and Darrell Barber from Bracketts were responsible for the acquisition of the site, which offers accessible parking and 4000 sq ft (370 sq m) floor space.
Owned by Taran Bassi, TMC's first franchisee, the centre will be the first of three locations operated by Bassi. It will employ up to 30 members of staff and will offer a range of massage treatments, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports and Maternity massages, which, due to TMC's monthly membership scheme, will be available to members 12 hours a day, seven days a week.
Designed to make massage more accessible, TMC's membership model encourages clients to think of massage as a form of self-care, rather than a luxury or treat, by putting them in control of their appointment.
The company has also set up The Massage Company Training Academy in order to train qualified massage therapists to deliver advanced massage techniques to target areas of concern, including anxiety, stress relief and physical ailments.
