Winners of the 2017 British Pool & Hot Tub Awards have been revealed at the industry gala evening, held during SPATEX at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry (on 31st January 2017) with a guest appearance from British Paralympian Swimmer, Ellie Simmonds OBE, who presented a number of awards and received a standing ovation from the crowd in recognition of her fantastic achievements as a British Paralymic Gold Medallist and World Record Holder.

 

The Industry Gala evening brings together BISHTA and SPATA, the two UK industry trade associations in a joint event to highlight the achievements of the wet leisure industry, by showcasing the best examples of design, construction, installation and innovation from trade association approved companies. Along with providing a platform to drive press and consumer interest for the UK’s Wet Leisure and Wellness Industry.
The evening was hosted by Rob Malone, supported by Alex Kemsley (BSPF President and BISHTA Chairman) and Richard Carrington (SPATA Chairman) to present the awards along with the awards category sponsors. The awards evening began with the re-presentation of the ISPE 2016 awards by the ISPE’s President, John Cheek.

Big winners of the night were Portrait Pools and Enclosures (based in Cheshire) who won eight SPATA awards as well as The Dick Millward Trophy for Pool Contactor of the Year and the Outstanding Pool of the Year Award. Also celebrating were Cannings H20 (from Devon) who picked up two SPATA awards and three BISHTA awards, while Home Counties Pools and Hot Tubs (based in Sussex) were the overall winners of the Peter Geekie Award for Retail Excellence along with a second gold award. Not to be outdone, North Spas (from Durham), Hot Tub Suppliers (Leicestershire) and Hydropool Devon all came away with two BISHTA Gold awards apiece.
