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.”
Based in West Sussex, Guncast is currently completing
three swimming pools a year for clients overseas – mostly in
France and Northern Italy with a smattering in the Caribbean.
