Enbio steriliser offers a
clean solution
The ICONA team is passionate about bringing the latest in technology
solutions to New Zealand and having a dedicated staff to keep that
technology working for its clients.
In times
where hygiene
is high priority, ICONA is confident
that the Enbio steriliser will be a point
of difference in salons around New
Zealand, as it has shown to be in Europe
and North America.
Being able to quietly sterilise equipment
in front of clients also helps reassure
them that their health and wellbeing is
protected.
Designed in Switzerland, the sleek
and stylish design of the Enbio will
compliment any beauty therapy centre.
The LED side lights are customisable
and the unit has a small footprint in
valuable workspace.
Faster sterilisation times also means the
need for less tools, and less wear and
tear on tools as they are not exposed
to high temperatures for as
long as the typical autoclave
steriliser.
The Enbio steriliser is
a complex and highperformance
machine, but
simple to install and operate.
From installation to maintenance,
ICONA stands by the Enbio and offers
its extensive technical experience
to help your business become more
efficient and productive.
Smart thinking and finding custom
solutions for salons and other
businesses by producing creative,
resourceful ways of using technology
has helped see ICONA grow from a
small operation in a backyard shed to a
thriving business across Australasia.
During its impressive 20-year history,
the scope of ICONA has grown
significantly and the dedicated team
now serve clients throughout New
Zealand, across a variety of sectors
from medical (including salons and
beauty businesses), dental and
veterinary.
While ICONA has a long history with
sterilisers in medical and dental fields,
the introduction of the Enbio Autoclave
Steriliser is an exciting step into the
beauty industry.
No matter which field, founder Richard
Tankersley’s focus remains the same:
‘ensuring that ICONA delivers not only
on our client’s immediate needs, but
that we develop solutions that continue
to serve our clients in the long term’.
“
We combine in-depth,
extensive technical
expertise with a
passion for building
relationships with
our clients – they’re
the two strands to our
solutions focus.
Women EmpowHERing women
The shared business philosophy of
empowering and celebrating women in
business has brought two iconic brands
together - Dermalogica and Saben - in
partnership to help emerging femalefounded
Kiwi businesses.
Powered by The Icehouse, the
Dermalogica and Saben’s EmpowHER
scholarship for business acceleration is
set to launch on International Women’s
Day, 8 March 2023, when submissions
will open for emerging female-founded
businesses to apply via https://fq.co.
nz for three grants collectively valued
at $15,000, plus money-can’t-buy
mentoring within the Dermalogica NZ
and Saben head offices.
“We are delighted to partner with our
friends at Saben, with the support of The
Icehouse to help three up-and-coming
New Zealand women in business scale
their businesses further,” says Natasha
Bourke, Founder of Skintopia and
the CEO for Two Hundred Doors (NZ
distributors of Dermalogica).
“With our companies purposes so
closely aligned, Saben (and The
Icehouse) felt like the perfect partners
to take this idea and turn it into reality –
something we’ve been working together
on over the last year.”
The recipient of the EmpowHER
$10,000+ scholarship will be announced
on April 24 2023; and will receive a
$5000 financial cash boost; a tailored
mentoring course at Saben and
Dermalogica’s head office; a The
Icehouse ‘Taking Your Business Forward’
3-month course plus Dermalogica skin
care and a Saben hand bag.
Two runners up will receive a $2500
valued grant each, and either The
Icehouses’ Knowing Your Numbers or
Building Sales Skills workshop (valued
at $2007 each) plus Dermalogica and
Saben products.
Roanne Jacobson, Founder of Saben
comments, “I’m incredibly excited to
work alongside Natasha and Liz, sharing
our combined knowledge throughout
this tailored mentoring programme as
we support a female founder at the start
of her business journey. Celebrating and
supporting women in business as we
‘leave the ladder down’ is not only at the
core of the Saben brand but immensely
important to me personally.”
The overall grant winner will receive 12
one-hour monthly mentoring sessions
with both Dermalogica and Saben CEOs,
Natasha Bourke and Roanne Jacobson,
as well as their team of experts via
a tailored mentoring course. This
money can’t buy opportunity allows
the entrepreneur to tap into different
aspects of each business’s expertise
specific to their business needs.
Roanne adds, “Not everyone is given the
same opportunities in life, and this grant
might be a game-changer for someone
with the drive and passion to succeed,
giving them the right tools and financial
boost to take their business to the next
level.”
