CHRISTINA CONNOR Editor
The booming hot tub and spa market has enjoyed arguably one of its best ever years, so no surprise then that the UK Pool and Spa Awards has received record breaking entries for this year’s event.
In this issue, we bring you the latest updates on the entries as we countdown to a red-letter day in the industry calendar. Part of the pulling power of the event is it phenomenal marketing boost for winning company’s like Bespoke Building and Spas – read all about it inside this edition.
The last few months have been brimming with exhibitions and tours, don’t forget to have a look at the pictures and reports. Look out for the latest industry news not least with the creation of the American Whirlpool super brand. Look out also for updates from Coast, Hydropool and La-z-Boy, to name just a few.
Thought that was enough to whet your appetite? Well, we urge you not to miss our extended feature, Outside The Box, as we reveal the latest research and development themes set to influence sales trends for 2018.
Look out also an ingenious Softub installation and the complete package service which 1 Stop Spas put together a Lincolnshire swim spa project. Welsh Hot Tubs give us the inside story on their business success and at nearby UK Leisure Living, Gareth Jones gives us an update on the fortunes of the company.
We hope you enjoy this action packed December’s Hot Tub and Swim Spa Scene. We look forward to bringing you even more from our exciting industry in the New Year.
Take care
The Swimming Pool Scene team wish our readers, advertisers and many supporters an outstanding Christmas and both a healthy and successful 2018.
