Magnificent BISHTA Awards achievement
Andy Slater- 3 years ago
Leading hot tub and swim spa retailers have gained a prestigious promotional boost after receiving BISHTA acclaim for their professional installations and showroom services during the 2022 British Pool & Hot Tub Awards ceremony.
Praise and positive feedback were flowing as BISHTA and SPATA members gathered at the Coventry Building Society Arena, after the first day of SPATEX 2022, for the wet leisure industry’s annual gala evening and presentation ceremony. Following another bumper year of demand for hot tubs, swim spas and pools, the big winner on the night was Hot Tub Suppliers with a ‘hat-trick’ of BISHTA Gold Awards among a magnificent seven total, pictured, of accolades.
The Leicester-based company, which has launched a Lodgic 282 model for the hot tub holiday market this year, achieved a top triple by landing Gold Awards in the ‘Hot Tub in a Holiday Setting’, ‘Best Use of Digital Media’, and ‘Hot Tubs Change Lives’ categories. The company also landed four other awards, including a Silver Award in the ‘Residential Hot Tubs below £7,000’ category, and a Bronze Award in the ‘Residential Hot Tubs £7,000 to £14,000’ category.
Among the additional top BISHTA award winners was American Whirlpool, Master Spas and Tuff Spas specialist dealership 1 Stop Spas in the ‘Residential Hot Tubs £7,000 to £14,000’ category, while Artesian Spas and TidalFit specialist North Spas landed the Gold Award in the ‘Swim and Exercise Spas’ category. A prestigious ‘Showroom of the Year’ Gold Award was won by Luxury Spas Direct, and Concept Spa landed the top accolade in the ‘Hot Tub Happiness #everydaycation’ category.
During the SPATA Awards ceremony experienced wet leisure product specialist and Caldera Spas dealership All Swim, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, won the ‘Peter Geekie Award for Retail Excellence’. The achievement secured a ‘hat-trick’ in this prestigious award category for the company since becoming a SPATA member in 1974, after being established in 1972.
BISHTA and SPATA Managing Director Chris Hayes praised the winners and highlighted that they had overcome COVID-19 pandemic challenges for a second year to become the latest recipients of the respective trade awards.
“The past few years have been challenging for many industries, including our own, so to see the calibre of this year’s British Pool & Hot Tub Award winners is a testament to the expertise, talent and hard work these companies have demonstrated,” said Chris.
