A glowing tan not only helps us to look healthy, but it makes us feel good too, and if you can’t get to a sunny destination, why not bring the sun to you in the form of a home hire sunbed? We speak to Martin Tierney of Riviera Tanning as the firm gains notable recognition in the UK Enterprise Awards 2024.
Now you can get the perfect tan all year round! Whilst many consider home tanning to be a thing of the 1980s, the truth is, the home hire tan business is booming! There is a definite increase in demand for home hire sunbeds, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic, as more and more people choose to tan in the comfort and safety of their own homes.
Based in Derry/Londonderry, Riviera Tanning is at the forefront of the tanning industry in Northern Ireland with more than 30 years’ worth of experience, along with the largest home hire fleet of equipment in the country and beds that are unique to the firm and not available elsewhere.
The one-of-a-kind R9, a 24-lamp stand-up sunbed made exclusively for Riviera Tanning, is the latest addition to the fleet of stand ups, lie downs, and canopies that the firm can offer out to clients on a supply on demand basis.
This bespoke sunbed has many premium features which make it a firm favourite at Riviera Tanning, including 230 watt tanning lamps, a 12-inch cooling fan, ceiling handles, 360- degree tanning, and it can provide a super-fast tan in just four minutes.
Not only does Riviera Tanning have the biggest and best range available, but the company also cares about its clientele, always going that extra mile to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
“We strive to give our customers the best service possible,” elaborates Martin Tierney, the firm’s Managing Director. “We make sure all our beds are perfect for tanning and we have a booking service that is open 24 hours a day.
“We also only hire those with good people skills, who are polite and able to advise customers on using the sunbeds. Our staff also need a tidy appearance as they will be going into people’s homes.”
Not only this, but Martin and the team also supply goggles for eye protection, plus all delivery men are experienced, trained electricians and tanning specialists and will answer any questions on site about the products, equipment, or safety. All home hire packages come with full instructions on safety, usage times, plus a full demonstration too, along with free delivery to customers’ houses.
Recently, in recognition of the dedicated service and comprehensive range of tanning equipment available, Riviera Tanning clinched the desirable title of Best Home Hire Sunbed Company 2024 – Northern Ireland.
So, what does Martin believe will facilitate future growth for the business? More of the same quality products and exemplary service that customers know and love!
“Riviera will be increasing the number of sunbeds to an even bigger number,” he enthuses.
“And we are also considering starting to franchise the business, too.”
