See the team at SPATEX 2018 on stand E34
It is not just the hot tubs and swim spas that bubble over in our exciting trade.
Hot tub dealers stand out from the crowd for their energy, their enthusiasm and their downright passion for their work.
So a particularly big shout out to the hot tub and swim spa sellers who are basking in the glory of the recent UK Pool & Spa Awards – read the roll of honour inside this issue. During an extraordinary evening at this year’s presentations at The Vox in Birmingham, we revelled in some stupendous products, fabulous projects and some remarkable business performances.
On a crest of that wave, we look forward to the biggest ever SPATEX water leisure trade show for the hot tub and swim spa sector with no less than 25 companies putting on displays. Vying for your showroom space for the season ahead, the spa makers have come up with a host of new products and innovations, many of which you will read about in this edition of Hot Tub and Swim Spa Scene.
With sales growths in the mid to high teens throughout 2017, we look ahead to the challenges that will be posed in 2018 and beyond, reassured that the market is investing in training and knowledge that will sustain growth, prosperity and integrity.
ABOVE:With thanks to H20 Cannings for their award-winning front cover shot. Full coverage of the UK Pool & Spa Awards inside this issue.
If you are heading for SPATEX please stop by and say hello to the Waterland team and let us know about projects you are proud of so we can feature them in future issues.
