Cut throat price-slashing is costing the pool building industry
dear according to one of its leading figures, Stephen Booth,
managing director of Alba/SB Pools Ltd.
“The industry should be very concerned about the pricing that is going on,” warns Stephen. “Companies are slashing prices in order to win contracts at a no-profit price,” he says.
Stephen emphasises: “Price slashing is a short term strategy which ends up with too many companies closing and not being able to see contracts through – making life doubly difficult for the professional companies that are left.”
European suppliers are considering the ramifications of the recall of approximately one million swimming pool drain covers from at least eight manufacturers.
In a landmark move in June, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the pool drain covers they say were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water – posing a potential entrapment risk.
The only one-piece ‘tiled‘ composite pool currently available in the UK water leisure sector, the Signature Pool range is a top shelf option for the all-in-one market.
