Владельца студии загара в Бромворде поймали на тайном переезде в новое помещение

A BUSINESS owner has revealed a secret project that has been six months in the making. Jem Thompson-Phelan, who runs Sunkissed Studio in Bromyard, has announced her tanning and beauty business is moving to a newly renovated space directly across the road from its current site on Broad Street. Ms Thompson-Phelan said keeping the move a tightly-held secret had seen her almost go in disguise to the building, "morning, noon, and night". The project was managed by her partner Jack, who worked on the property before and after his day job, often staying until midnight.

The new studio will house other professional beauticians, including one of her best friends, Harriet Lane. Her children also pitched in to help over the summer holidays. "They’ve been just incredible, they’ve been so patient," she said. "But also they understand the whole meaning of you work hard, and you get the rewards from it. "My eldest daughter now works, and it's really given them that ethos to work and to earn money and to make a living." She said the move has generated excitement online, and she has credited content creator Emily Bickers-Price for boosting Sunkissed Studio’s social media presence during the build-up. Ms Thompson-Phelan even teased followers with hints about the location, joking that she may be buying the redundant Hop Pole Hotel in the Market Square. The new studio is set to be soft-launched over the next few weeks, with an official launch party planned for October.
