One of northern England’s leading luxury spas, The Spa at Ramside, has appointed Joanne Green as its new director.

Green joins Ramside from the Aqua Sana spa at Center Parcs’ Whinfell Forest resort and will be responsible for all operations at the spa, which is housed in the Ramside Hall Hotel near Durham.

Green, a 15-year spa industry veteran, has been tasked to “help drive the business to the next level”.

“It is an amazing spa which has already achieved so much and I’m really looking forward to being part of its future growth,” she said.

The Spa at Ramside first launched in September 2015 at a cost of £16m. One of the largest hotel spas in the region, it boasts 14 treatment rooms, five swimming pools and a large thermal suite with a herbal sauna, Himalayan salt and aroma steamrooms, a tepidarium and a sunken amphitheatre sauna.

Treatments are supplied by ESPA, Mii Cosmetics, Morgan Taylor and Salt of the Earth.
