Lancashire, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/14/2021 -- All good things must come to an end. In the case of Steam Shower Store, however, the end is just a new beginning. It's now rebranded as Poshh. The updated name reflects how Steam Shower Store has grown over the years and expanded way beyond the original plans of founder and director Andrew Ellis.

A path of unstoppable growth
Like many successful businesses, Steam Shower Store was created to solve a problem. Founder Andrew Ellis was (and is) very much into fitness and health. He enjoyed the gym when he could get to it. The problem was, he couldn't always get to it.

"My work hours were flexible," he explains. "Sometimes they changed at short notice. Then I had family, friends, other things I needed or just wanted to do. Things came up that I didn't expect. Basically, life happened and that meant I couldn't always get to the gym so I decided I needed a backup plan".

Andrew Ellis soon discovered that putting together a home gym was pretty straightforward. The problem was finding home-sized equivalents of wellness facilities like steam rooms, whirlpool baths, and saunas. At first, he found this very frustrating. Then he realized that it was an opportunity and Steam Shower Store was born.

At first, business was slow but Andrew Ellis persevered. Bit by bit, Steam Shower Store gained recognition and then respect. Finally, it became the UK's leading supplier of home spa appliances. Now, Andrew Ellis wants to go even further and into new directions.

No longer just an appliance store

Andrew Ellis was already thinking about moving in new directions before the pandemic struck. His business was struck hard by COVID19 but not in the way you might be thinking. Demand for home-spa equipment was actually higher than ever. The problem was that COVID19 had caused pandemonium in the global supply chain so he couldn't bring in stock to sell.

Initially, Andrew Ellis thought that demand would tail off as the pandemic was brought under control. In actual fact, it's been growing more than ever. Andrew Ellis believes that this is down to two main factors. Firstly, people are taking wellness much more seriously. Secondly, people are realizing that home-wellness facilities are cost-effective as well as convenient.

What was even more interesting was that Steam Shower Store began to get people asking about other bathroom items. At first, Andrew Ellis didn't understand why. Then he realized that people simply wanted to get everything they needed for their bathroom from a single retailer they knew they could trust. That's when he finally realized it was time to expand his range.

As soon as he made that decision, he realized that he also needed to update his store's name and so Poshh was born.

An instant hit with customers

Even though he'd already made Steam Shower Store a success, Andrew Ellis was nervous about rebranding and, effectively, relaunching his store. After all, he'd spent years building up name recognition with both customers and search engines. Happily, though, the change has been more than justified.

Customers are loving Poshh's range of carefully curated household goods at value-for-money prices. Although bathroom goods are still the best-sellers, there is growing interest in items for other parts of the home and, indeed, the garden. Feedback has been great and Andrew Ellis has been delighted to see a growing number of five-star reviews.

Former competitors for top spot in spa and home/garden industry in United Kingdom merge to cement position as number one premier online outlet.

Lancashire, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/08/2019 -- Poshh (Poshh.co.uk), the UK's largest independent steam and hydro shower, sauna, home and garden retailer with over 20 years of experience, recently purchased Clearwells (Clearwells.co.uk) in a £1 million industry takeover, a merger that will enable the former competitors to cement a position as the United Kingdom's number one spa and home/garden premier online outlet.

"For years, Clearwells and Poshh have been competing alongside one another for the coveted top spot in the spa and home/garden industry, and through this merger, both entities will enjoy the accolade of being the UK's number one premier online outlet," says Poshh's Andrew Ellis. "We have always respected Clearwells and their efforts, so when they took their game to another level, it encouraged us to step up and do even more for our own customer base.

"When our executives saw the opportunity to merge the two companies, it was a chance too great to ignore; indeed, we have retained most of both organizations' staff and key employees, and look forward to making even greater strides as we head into a future defined as a truly new beginning."

Poshh offers a myriad of products in the categories of showers, steam generators, saunas, hot tubs, baths, sound and vision, accessories and more, from notable brands such as Aqualux, Hudson Reed, Insignia, Kubex, Leisure Bench, Lisna Waters, Little Plumber, Luxurite, Luxwel and Port Royal.

Heysham, Lancashire -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/15/2018 -- Organization, it's probably high on everyone's list of New Year's Resolutions, but when it comes to putting it into practice, many of us can find ourselves just not knowing where to start - so we don't. Andrew Ellis of poshh knows this situation only to well, so he's happy to share some tips on how to organize the smallest room in your home - your bathroom.

Tip 1 - Decide if you need more storage, less stuff or a combination of both

"Up until a few years ago" says Andrew Ellis, "standard organization advice was all about finding every last bit of storage space and putting it to good use. Then the advice changed to being all about decluttering. Marie Kondo was a big part of that. The truth is that actually, it's usually about both. We're having to squeeze increasing levels of functionality, including storage, into houses which are getting smaller and many of us do have a tendency to collect more stuff than we need and could benefit from regular decluttering sessions.

If you have decluttered as much as you can and you still feel you really don't have enough storage space, then you probably don't, which means something has to give. In a bathroom, the obvious change to make is to switch out a bath for a shower, thereby freeing up valuable floor space for storage (or anything else). A lot of people who still stick with baths do so because they have issues with water pressure and don't think that they'd be able to get a decent shower in their bathroom. The way to get around this is to use an electric shower, which runs purely off the cold feed as the cold feed typically has much higher pressure than the hot feed. I'd recommend the Pure E range by Vidalux as they offer high quality at a very reasonable price, plus they're attractive and easy to install.".

Tip 2 - List everything you do in your bathroom and everything you need to do it.

"This may seem like a strange tip" says Andrew Ellis "but the point is that although we all use our bathrooms for washing, cleaning our teeth and going to the toilet, after that we all use our bathrooms in different ways, some people need to shave in the bathroom, some people don't, some people apply makeup in the bathroom, some people don't, some people dress in the bathroom after showering, some people don't. We're all different. The reason you need to think about how you and your family use your bathroom is so that you can ensure that anything you need for those activities is kept in the bathroom. It's fine to keep extra supplies elsewhere, but you need to ensure that those essentials are present and if space is tight then anything which is non-essential has to go elsewhere or be donated or recycled."

Tip 3 - Batch but don't over organize

"This is another tip which may sound strange" continues Andrew Ellis "a place for everything and everything in its place seems like a perfectly reasonable idea and so it is - in theory. In practice, we all have busy lives and few of us have the time or, if we're honest, the inclination to organize everything right down to the last detail and that's fine. The solution I suggest is what I call 'batching and baskets'. Group like items with like items, for example basic toiletries, makeup and children's toys and put them into open-top baskets and drawers. The reason I say open-top baskets and drawers is so that you can pull them out easily and have an overview of everything that's inside without having to rummage. Put a label on the front so you can quickly see the general contents and know which bin is most likely to contain what you need. If there are children in the house try to put their items low down so they can access them easily and encourage them to get into the habit of tidying up after themselves, even little children can put bath toys into a storage bin. Likewise anything they shouldn't touch should be put up well out of their reach and possibly locked away as well for extra safety.

Heysham, Lancashire -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/10/2017 -- One of the UK's most popular online retailers of products for the home and garden is rebranding from http://www.homeandgardenfurniture.co.uk to www.poshh.co.uk.

In the early days of http://www.homeandgardenfurniture.co.uk, the name made perfect sense. That was exactly what the website sold. What made them different from other retailers was a combination of the fact that they only stocked high-quality items, even though their low overheads meant that they could offer them at exceptionally low prices, plus the fact that they put customer service at the forefront of everything they did. It's hardly likely to be a surprize that this was a winning combination, but the extent and speed of the company's success certainly took founder Andrew Ellis by surprise.

According to Mr Ellis: "I always believed that if I could provide great items, great prices and great service, I could build a great company. I just never expected it to happen so quickly. With the benefit of hindsight, I underestimated the value of word-of-mouth reviews. We gave our early customers top deals and they were really happy with us to they told their friends and then they told their friends and almost before I knew it, we'd gone from being a start-up home- and garden-furniture retailer to being a fully-fledged business with a much wider product range. Basically, we've outgrown our name!".

While www.poshh.co.uk still focusses on home goods, they have now expanded their product range beyond home- and garden-furniture and now sell bathroom items, saunas, hot tubs and electronics. In the future, Mr Ellis hopes to expand their range even further.

In addition to picking a new name which reflected the company's broader offering, Mr Ellis also wanted to choose a name with "personality" as he put it, something which would reflect the company's character and their core values and which, over time, could become as famous as the current major players on online home retail.

Commenting on his choice, Mr Ellis said: "I wanted a name which reflected the fact that we're a company which offers great discounts on the top brands, rather than just another online site selling low-quality products which are "inspired by" the big names in home goods. At the same time, I wanted a name with a bit of fun to it. We're totally committed to getting the best deals for our customers and providing outstanding customer service, but we like to do it with a smile rather than taking ourselves too seriously."

Even though Mr Ellis is clearly a man with a lot of drive and ambition, he plans to move his company forward one step at a time. His reasoning for this approach is simple: "A wise man learns from the mistakes of others and one mistake I've seen other people make many times is to rush ahead with expansion and then find that they lack the resources to provide the great level of service which made them a success in the first place. Of course, I want to take my company even further and I intend to do so, but the customer will always come first and be at the heart of everything we do."
