“The aim of these awards is to acknowledge outstanding work of as many companies as possible, giving them an opportunity to promote their own company but also, collectively, the water leisure industry as a whole,” she adds. “Every year, the contest just gets
Unprecedented entries for the 2017 UK Pool & Spa Awards… better and better,” she adds.
