We are on the final countdown to SPATEX, the water leisure show that is run by the industry, for the industry. Raising vital funds for the organisations under the British Swimming Pool Federation umbrella, we officially get the party started on January 30th and the Swimming Pool Scene team can hardly contain our excitement.
Whether you’re looking for new business ideas, new product lines, more project inspiration, then SPATEX promises to provide a bagful of inspiration; simply an unmissable event. In fact the show is offering the event’s biggest ever floor space since its move to the Ricoh arena.
But before you set your ‘sat nav’ for Coventry please take the time to sit back and enjoy some of the outstanding projects, products and people in this month’s edition of Swimming Pool Scene. Many were applauded at the recent UK Pool & Spa Awards. Now entering its ninth year, competition entrants hail the contest as one of the brightest tools in their sales and marketing kit. Attracting record entries, more companies than ever before were rewarded in a contest that just continues to go from strength to strength. Read all about it inside.
In fact, with the fresh vigour that a new year brings, your February issue of Swimming Pool Scene is packed with examples of thriving business, best practice and outstanding customer service from people and companies in both the residential and commercial water leisure markets.
Dip your toe in the February edition of Swimming Pool Scene before heading off for the SPATEX exhibition. Be sure to pop by and say hello to the team on Stand E34 and tell us about your exciting plans for 2018 and beyond.
See you there!
The Waterland team looks forward to seeing you at SPATEX 2018.
You will find us on Stand E34
