Founder & Lead Product Engineer, Vidalux
Andrew Ellis is the founder and technical architect of Vidalux, the UK’s leading home spa and wellness brand. With a career built on the front lines of the industry—from initial product design and manufacturing to installation and long-term technical support—Andrew has spent over a decade dismantling the “luxury hype” to focus on what actually matters: engineering, reliability, and real-world results.
Driven by an “Engineering-First” philosophy, Andrew founded Vidalux to solve the common failures of the home spa industry—poor build quality, overpriced wellness and gimmicks that look good in brochures but fail in bathrooms. He is the mind behind industry-leading innovations such as Complete Heat sauna technology, hybrid saunas and rot-free outdoor unit designs, that many other manufacturers have tried to imitate since Vidalux brought them to market.
Under Andrew’s leadership, Vidalux has grown into a trusted partner for national retailers like Costco and B&Q, earned through a steadfast commitment to transparency and technical truth. Whether he is consulting on a complex commercial project or writing a guide on the therapeutic benefits of infrared therapy, Andrew’s goal remains the same: making gym-quality wellness accessible, honest, and dependable for every UK home.
