WELCOME
We officially get the end of the 2019 year party started on Thursday December 12th at this year’s UK Pool & Spa Awards at The Vox, at Resort’s World, part of Birmingham’s NEC.
There will be plenty to talk about as we compare notes on what looks to have been a see-saw year for hot tub and swim spa sales.
The UK Pool & Spa Awards 2019 will mark a season that was undoubtedly impacted by economic uncertainty out of our control – yes I am thinking the B word.
For some the season was quicker to start and was buoyed by extended warmer spells – particularly in the south of the country. But many were cutting prices and giving offers towards the end of the season, as sales began to sag.
High time for you to slide into your own hot tub and take the time out to soak up a bumper issue of Hot Tub and Swim Spa Scene packed with a tub load of good business advice, ideas and inspiration.
It is a time to take stock as we note industry trends such as retailers branching out with second showrooms, more labour-reducing methods of checking hot tub water control and chemical-reducing water treatment
Forward-thinking business folk will soak up an edition packed with ideas and see how they can be woven into increasing business potential for their own 2020 season.
Take Care and Keep In Touch
