Beauty tech firm joins Alderley Park digital community

Beauty tech specialist, CurrentBody, has announced plans to relocate to Glasshouse, a new hub of digital and technology businesses at Alderley Park.

CurrentBody, founded in Cheadle, Stockport, is the world’s largest e-commerce supplier of beauty devices, and has doubled revenues year-on-year since 2015, as well as securing private investment from BGF and Mercia Asset Management in excess of £10 million.

CurrentBody will take 5,300 sq ft of office space at Glasshouse on a 10-year lease, providing a workspace that matches the beauty tech firm’s ambitious growth plans.

CurrentBody will join a wealth of forward-thinking businesses at Glasshouse, many of which are working in areas such as AI, VR, digital animation and digital marketing, as they come together in a collaborative ecosystem to share ideas and exchange knowledge.

Laurence Newman (pictured), CEO of CurrentBody, said:

We have been on an upward trajectory for a number of years now and to support our growth plans we need a workspace that will match our ambitions. Glasshouse at Alderley Park is that space, and we’re excited about the opportunities joining this vibrant business community will bring as we accelerate our growth plans. 

“It is our mission is to be the leading online home for health and beauty technology and we want to offer the largest selection of safe, clinically-proven electrical health and beauty products in the world. To help us achieve this goal it makes sense to surround ourselves with like-minded pioneers in the health, life sciences and technology sectors, and we don’t think there’s any better place to achieve this than at Glasshouse.”

Dr Kath Mackay, managing director Bruntwood SciTech – Alderley Park:

CurrentBody is a really exciting business and this move will see them join a community of tech firms and innovators that are doing some fantastic things here at Glasshouse. It’s great news and we’re really looking forward to welcoming them to Alderley Park.”
