Our Story
Hi, I'm Tom, founder of Sauna Box. I started the company with the simple desire to leave the world a little bit happier and a little bit healthier. My passion for sauna had grown into a daily habit whilst living in London and when I moved back home to Norfolk, I realised that sauna was the thing I missed most.
I wanted to share my passion for sauna and could not think of a better place for a post sauna dip than the beautiful beaches of East Anglia. Myself and a friend built our first sauna trailer and I welcomed our first bathers in July 2021.
Over the next year I ran sauna pop ups all over Norfolk and Suffolk including taking saunas to Latitude festival, working with some amazing local companies and we even fired up a sauna for the Estonian Embassy in the middle of Hyde Park.
As our fleet of saunas started to grow, along with our team, we realised we wanted more than to share our passion for sauna locally, we wanted to be part of the movement growing sauna culture in the UK. This naturally led to us deciding to build saunas for others, with a focus on working with small businesses to enable more and more people to be able to reach authentic sauna.
We now have a thriving workshop with a team of highly talented sauna builders and have slowly found ourselves becoming the mobile sauna experts, along with offering home outdoor saunas across East Anglia.
Our sauna builds reflect our company's aim of bringing high quality sauna experiences to the people and have their roots set in a classic Finnish sauna design. We blend old and new in repurposing horseboxes and containers with a beautiful sauna interior so that you could be sat in a sauna anywhere in the world.
Sauna offers a place to connect with yourself, others and nature and nothing makes me happier than watching people come out with that 'post sauna glow'.
