Leader in spa & wellness equipment poised for double-digit growth with addition of prominent wellness equipment expert
New Freedom, PA. (August 25, 2022) Jeff Riach, Oakworks CEO is pleased to announce the appointment of spa industry veteran Brian Paris as Senior Project Consultant. The leading spa and wellness equipment manufacturer brought Paris aboard in response to massive growth and lucrative corporate partnerships with global partners such as 1 Hotels, Accor, and Aman Resorts. With 25+ years of experience developing equipment client relationships globally, he brings much needed support to the sales team led by Jessica Wadley, VP of Business Development for Oakworks.
“I’m excited to join Oakworks to expand relationships with our corporate partners and dealers globally,” said Paris. “I’ve sold Oakworks my entire career and even owned one of their portable tables in massage school back in 1998. The quality of the equipment and people is unsurpassed—100% made in the USA, sustainably manufactured, and independently certified.”
Paris is a multifaceted sales executive and intuitive business strategist with an entrepreneurial mindset who custom designs spa equipment based on customers true needs. Previous projects include AM Resorts, Marriott International, The Ritz Carlton, Rosewood, Shangri-La Hotels, and Viceroy Hotels & Resorts. Paris is also a former member of GSN Planet Board of Directors, a catalyst for sustainability efforts in the spa and wellness industries. Oakworks is a longtime supporter and sponsor of GSN Planet.
“Oakworks is poised for double digit growth both in the medical and wellness sector worldwide. With growth comes the need to add talented team members. Brian’s hands-on, collaborative approach and focus on sustainability perfectly align with our core values,” says Wadley. “The company remains privately held by Jeff and Linda Riach. For over 40 years we have maintained a highly attentive and consultative approach with our customers. We can’t wait to see what the future brings with Brian as part of the team!”
