NEWS IN BRIEF


STREATHAM HUB LEISURE COMPLEX TOPPED OUT Construction work on a new multi-million pound leisure development in Streatham, South London, has reached the topping out phase.


The project has so far taken more than two years and when complete, the Streatham Hub leisure complex will include a 25m, six-lane swimming pool, a 13m learner pool, a 1,000-capacity ice rink, sports courts and a health and fitness club. Built by contractor


Vinci Construction and designed by Michael Aukett Architects, the centre is scheduled to open later this year and is one of only two in the world which will include the installation of a full- sized ice rink above a swimming pool. The Streatham Hub will be the second new swimming pool opening in the borough in 12 months, following the opening of a pool in Lambeth.


REVAMP AT ABERDEEN POOL The revamp of a


mothballed swimming pool in Aberdeen has finally started. Tullos Swimming Pool in Torry has been closed since 2008 awaiting a full refurbishment. Robertson Construction Eastern Limited was awarded the contract to carry out the work which includes retiling of both pools and poolside areas, repair of all water damage and redecoration of all internal walls, replacement of changing areas and reconfiguration of spectator seating. Sport Aberdeen will manage the swimming pool on behalf of Aberdeen City Council and the target completion date is autumn 2013.

Certikin Seminars Cover More Than New Products


Kick starting Certikin’s 50th anniversary year, were a series of three well attended seminars held by the company at Crawley, Birmingham and Exeter respectively, all of which proved for anyone that was present to be very worthwhile events. Managing Director Neil Murray opened each event with some interesting year-on-year statistics and analysis which is reserved for attendees of the seminars.


Informative talks were given by a number of Certikin Product Managers on a wide range of equipment and Chairman Patrick Thorpe discussed a number of energy saving, eco friendly and new options that the company now has available.
