The new site in Huddersfield is part of an ambitious expansion plan and marks Indigo Sun’s fourth salon in Yorkshire, with a fifth due to follow within months – all to meet heightened demand. It also brings the firm’s headcount in Yorkshire to 40.

Frank Taylor, the founder and chief executive of the family firm, said the Wakefield Road Retail Park location was a perfect snapshot of Indigo Sun’s growth plans for serving an army of customers who spend £500 per year each.

He added: “We have around 18,000 loyal and regular customers across Yorkshire and that number is growing all the time. We’re delighted to be investing so heavily in the area to ensure they have the best possible choice of tanning options in the most convenient locations.”
