HOT TUB & SWIM SPA NEWS It’s Tuff At The Top!
2015 has, according to the Arizona based manufacturer of unique roto-moulded hot tubs, been a great year for Tuff Spas in the UK and their British distributor, Spa Crest Europe. The deal to introduce the highly popular US brand to the UK market was originally signed by the parties at the 2014 US Show in Orlando, and the product was launched on British soil at SPATEX 2015. Since then, the reception by UK dealers and consumers has been exceptional and a new deal to extend the exclusive arrangement was sealed at the recent Pool | Spa | Patio show in Las Vegas.
On putting pen to paper, David Midkiff,
Tuff Spas’ President said: “We are delighted to extend the exclusivity of our products in the UK to Spa Crest Europe. We are really pleased with the first year of sales, which exceeded our hopes. We are looking forward to the future, working closely with Tony, Carole and the team.” Tony Welsby, Managing Director of Wigan-
based Spa Crest Europe added: “2015 was a year of change for us, introducing a totally new product line to the UK market and extending our stable of quality US hot tub brands. I’m very pleased to say Tuff Spas settled straight in to our product matrix and were well received by the industry. Sales were very good, and we look forward to exhibiting the line again, but with new models, alongside our Spa Crest products on stand D51 at SPATEX in 2016.” Tracy Roberts of Shropshire Pools & Spas is just one of the UK retailers who has had particular success launching and selling the Tuff Spas brand to her local market saying: “The award winning TT650 has been our best-selling model of 2015. The innovative hard cover has been one of the main selling points of the Tuff range. This, combined with the expert service from Spa Crest Europe, have made it another successful year for us.” Tuff Spas are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of roto-moulded hot tubs and
