Salon group Sunseekers to expand to 31 sites following £2m investment

Tanning salon chain Sunseekers Sunbeds is getting a £2 million investment from lender ThinCats to expand the business to 31 sites across the North West over the next 12 months.

The tanning shop company, run by managing director Ben Smith, opened its first store in Maghull in 2001, and currently has 19 sites.

Sunseekers started as a small business with big ambitions, growing organically. When we went out for financing, we needed a solution that would suit our business and ThinCats offered what we needed,” said Smith.
