POOL INDUSTRY TOUR


National Pool Company uses a range


of suppliers across the UK to ensure they get the best products and prices for their clients.


SUPER SUPPLIERS


“Our main supplier is SCP Pools, which is based in Basildon and Gatwick. We have a very good relationship with them and have used them for many years.” Other favoured suppliers include


Certikin International, IPS, Flowsystems and Astral Pool, who are used on a daily basis. “We are not always the cheapest,” adds Craig, “however, we do our utmost to make sure our customers are getting the best deal.” It’s an ethos which is clearly paying dividends for National Pool Company. The company currently services more than 100 domestic pools. While some are solely for the summer season, many indoor pools are looked after all year long.


In addition, the company works on


council swimming pools across the UK providing service and maintenance, as well as schools, hotels, spas and leisure centres. “In the seven years we have been


trading, the company has grown beyond all expectations. And much of this is down to our team. Craig continues: “The team we have


working for us now are the best we have ever had. With the support of our

to the Romans, it has a rich heritage. Nowhere is this stronger than in Essex, where archaeologists made an exciting discovery in Colchester. While renovating a 15th century building in the heart


of the city, experts from Colchester Archaeological Trust (CAT) uncovered remains part of what appears to be a significant Roman bath, buried deep beneath it. Colchester, England’s first city, was first established by


the Romans as a city in AD 50 Hundreds of ceramic flues have been found. However,

engineers and our office team, we fit in as many clients as we can each week. “Sharon and I manage refurbishment


projects from start to finish and, when it comes to new installations, we have Gunton Swimming Pools working alongside us, with Sharon as project manager.” With so much knowledge and


experience between them, there’s not much they don’t know about building, servicing or maintenance. As our tour of Essex winds to a close,


it’s clear that – by listening to and working with your customers – great things can happen. At Howard’s Hydrocare, it’s an


approach which has kept them in business for nearly 50 years. For younger businesses, such as National Pool Company, it can deliver the edge you need in a crowded market. That’s better still when you have expert partners on board to support your endeavours and share in your success.
