We report on the prestigious European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Association Awards which took place at the recent Piscine Global Exhibition in France and showcase the winners in each category
T
he second European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations (EUSA) awards took place at the Piscine Global exhibition held in
Lyon, France on Thursday 20 November. Hailed as a resounding success, the awards have grown from three to five categories, with 16 winners announced across the 13 countries that comprise EUSA.
Competition was tough, with EUSA representing over 3,000 swimming pool and spa companies across Europe. The awards were judged by top industry professionals representing the EUSA members. With such superior standards, understandably tensions were high in anticipation of the results, with the audience warmly acknowledging each of the winners as they were announced, securing their places as the 2014 industry leaders. Being judged a winner by the leading
industry voices, of the Pool & Spa Associations across Europe is important recognition for every award recipient. Each of the UK winners was able to gain entry to the European awards by previously winning either a SPATA or BISHTA award. Surrey based company Tanby Pools, were overjoyed at their gold award in the Domestic Spas category, with Lancashire based company John Preston Pool & Spa Services picking up a bronze award in the same category. Devon based Riviera Hot Tubs scooped bronze in the Domestic Hot Tubs category, and West Sussex based company Home Counties Pools & Hot Tubs of Horsham, won bronze in the Domestic Above- Ground Pools category. Award winners visited the Piscine Global show in Lyon to collect their awards supported by BSPF Managing Director Chris
Hayes who commented: “We were thrilled by this year’s results and very proud that our members won four of the 16 awards being given out. The judges had some tough decisions to make, with a shortlist of 86 entries across five categories.” Chris continued: “This year seven countries provided entries and seven countries judged the categories. The excellent work displayed by our members and those of the other relevant National Associations defines the industry and celebrates the exceptional standards of our members and their professionalism. I am sure that consumers across Europe can be secure in the knowledge that a company in a national association who are members of EUSA are a business to trust and who provide superior standards.”
