POOL INDUSTRY TOUR
After escaping the M25, our journey takes us down
the A12, the trunk road to the sea. Our destination? Danbury: the home of National Pool
Company, which is run by husband-and-wife team Craig and Sharon White. The business started in October 2012, with a few domestic
and commercial clients. “Prior to this, Sharon and I had been working very hard within the industry and, when we were given the chance to start our own business within the pool industry, we didn’t hesitate to grab it.” “Over the years, we’ve worked with companies and haven’t always agreed with their approach or customer service. He continues: “Everyone – no matter how much money
they have – likes the nicer things in life. And we wanted to provide them with this service. “As the summers are getting warmer, more and
more people are now realising they can get a pool for their budget.”
POWERFUL PARTNERS From its base in Essex, National Pool Company covers
all of Essex and London. In addition, the business works alongside a pool company in the north of England – ensuring national coverage. Partnerships like these are not unusual, as Craig explains.
“We are primarily a service and maintenance company. We do carry out pool refurbishments for those who want a change from their original design.
AS A SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
company, National Pool Company carry out refurbishments like this across London and Essex.
AN ENGINEER FROM
Danbury’s National Pool Company working on a liner pool in Essex.
“However, when it comes to building a pool, we pool our resources, by working alongside Gunton Swimming Pools, who are based in Maldon Essex. “Over the years, Jeremy, who runs things there, and I have become very good friends and work colleagues. We have carried out many projects together. “Many of these are very high spec and having both companies involved is the best the customer can get.” While technology is always changing in the pool market, Craig has noticed big changes in terms of design. He explains: “Most pools are either a liner or tiled finish, with coping stones along the top edge of the pool then slabbed beyond to complete the surround. “Right now, the popular most modern look is natural stone on all surrounds -built right to the edge of pool. Being bull-nosed, it gives a smoother, softer finish, with modern straight lines. The most popular colour is grey, which is a very nice finish.”
