“We are at the stage of formulating some great new plans for next year’s show, which we will reveal in the coming months. “In the meantime, we would like to thank everyone for their loyal support and if you haven’t already booked your place, please do get in touch to find out what we can do for your business.”
HILTON WATERHOUSE BAR AND TERRACE ROLLS OUT RED CARPET FOR SPATEX As part of the Hilton’s ongoing commitment to refurbishment, the Hotel Bar has now been newly
establishing new contacts. But don’t take our word for it… here’s what a number of our longstanding exhibitors have to say: Andrew Hunt of Topline Water Chemistry Systems said: “We were delighted with SPATEX 2012. The investment made by the Topline group of companies represented the best return on investment ever made by Topline in promoting our products and services. At the show, we received enquiries for £1 million worth of equipment including steam rooms, saunas, dosing systems and underwater lights. At this moment in time (May) we have converted 40% of these in to orders. Topline will continue to support the show and would not be surprised if this success was repeated in 2013.”
Stephen Crabb of Catalina Spas Ltd
added: “Catalina Spas Ltd have exhibited at SPATEX for 12 years. This is a clear indication that the show has and continues to work for us. We have always found it the ideal opportunity to introduce new products to the UK leisure market alongside, of course, all the old favourites. We find that the majority of visitors to the exhibition

are decision makers and professionals who have an active role in their respective businesses. Not, as in the case of some shows, time wasters looking for a day out of the office! “An example of how SPATEX is a great facilitator of business is our customer Paul Smith – a visitor to the show. He was involved in the design and construction of an extensive luxury leisure facility. Through his own research he understood SPATEX was the place to go to meet potential suppliers and the deal was struck shortly after he visited the Catalina stand.” For his part, Paul adds: “From the moment we first met Stephen and his team at SPATEX, they handled our enquiries, our order, and the delivery and implementation to the highest professional standards. We are thrilled with the swim spa.” Martin Ursell Managing Director of Bos Leisure said: “The healthy growth of the day spa market makes SPATEX an extremely important reference point for us as a company and for anyone involved in the business. In a nutshell… it’s a must-stop-shop.”
Dedicated and stalwart supporters of SPATEX; Bob Kent, Managing Director of Mineral Supplies International and John Asher, Managing Director of Asher Swim Pool Centre, have also given their experienced and valued opinions as to why it has never been more vital to support the exhibition that has proudly served, donated its profits and waved the industry flag for the last 16 years.
As always the SPATEX Team welcome input from both exhibitors and visitors on your industry’s very own dedicated show and would love to hear from you. You can catch up with news, views and what’s happening in the world of SPATEX by visiting our soon to be updated website. spn
