Sovereign confirmed it reputation as one
of the best retailers in Europe as the
company celebrated by scooping both the
category for Best Residential Portable Hot
Tub over £10,000 and also the coveted
Swimspas and Exercise Pools section.
Sovereign were also runners up in two of
the portable hot tub award categories.
In the Best Residential Portable Hot
Tubs over £10,000 category, their client
wanted a spa with attractive LED lighting
and a sound system to create a state-of-
the-art focal point in his contemporary
style garden. Stainless steel railings
around two sides of the spa complete this
look as well as being a safety feature.
In the second category, Swimspas and
Exercise Pools, the client had a specific
requirement for a swimspa that would
accommodate one particularly tall member
of the household. This completely non-
standard pool comfortably takes into
account the swimming span of this person,
ensuring that he can easily do all swimming
strokes without touching the sides of the
pool during exercise. The pool is also fitted
with a fully automated safety cover, as the
client regularly has grandchildren to stay.
