Spatex 2010 – the UK’s Pool, Spa & Lifestyle show to be held in Brighton from Saturday 6 to Monday 8 February – looks to be flying in the face of the UK’s economic woes. The organisers report an “unprecedented” number of new exhibitors, with around one third of the show’s 100-plus bookings being first-timers.
Show director Michele BRIDLE says: “We are delighted with the bookings figure for 2010 – more than we had ever expected in the circumstances, and we have sold out all available space. There is a lot of new blood, and something for everyone – pool and spa professionals really cannot afford to miss it.”
The optimism in the lead-up to the show makes up for the absence of some major industry names and long-time previous exhibitors – not to mention a couple of high-profile business failures in the industry during the year.
Michele says a number of new features and enhancements to existing attractions are planned for Spatex 2010, including:
A host of new product to be launched at SPATEX 2010 and loads of competions with fabulous prizes to be won
> Product launches at SPATEX 2010
Product launches at SPATEX 2010 include:
Monday 1.15 – 2.15 in the Technical Arena
Teams to fit all faceplates on sumps, skimmers, inlets and lights inclusive of changing the bulb – each Team in their own pool - AND ALL THIS UNDER WATER!!
> Prizes/Competitions & Raffles SPATEX 2010
