Sean Harrington
President
ELEMIS


As President and Co-Founder of ELEMIS and a leading figure in the international spa industry, Séan Harrington has been responsible for turning the ELEMIS brand into the multimillion pound international business it is today, with 600 employees in over 60 countries worldwide. Building on his reputation as a dynamic and entrepreneurial marketer, he has traveled the world, researching and carving a niche for ELEMIS in the global spa and skin care industry, while continuing to push the international expansion of the brand. ELEMIS continues to grow its business with over 1600 elite salons, spas, cruise ships and department stores worldwide to treat over 6.5 million clients each years. His drive behind launching the new vision of ELEMIS in June 1998 positioned the brand at the cutting edge of the professional spa and skincare industry. Séan has been responsible for spearheading the launch of numerous firsts for ELEMIS and the wider spa industry including the the launch of the UK ELEMIS day spa, the brand’s rollout into department stores, its successful partnership with British Airways and the ELEMIS development of ELEMIS’ cutting edge spa therapies, significantly the launch of BIOTEC. Séan’s drive and passion extends to his family and sport: you can often find him scootering around Hyde Park with his four children or training for half marathons - he has two under his belt so far. His extensive travel schedule means that he spends a large majority of time passing through Heathrow where he books in for an ELEMIS treatment at the ELEMIS travel spa. Already a recipient of the Best British Brand Award, in 2013 Séan was awarded a Special Industry Award by CEW (UK) for his outstanding contribution to the beauty industry and the advancement of women in their beauty careers and 2014 saw the Best British Brand accolade.
