In a year of outstanding industry achievement, Tanby Pools has been honoured with a collection of highly coveted National Industry Awards from SPATA (Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association) at the 2025 British Pool & Hot Tub Awards. This accolade is a testament to the company’s commitment to excellence in the pool and spa sector.

The British Pool & Hot Tub Awards, hosted annually by SPATA and BISHTA (British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association), are the pinnacle of achievement for companies across the UK’s pool and leisure industry. These prestigious awards celebrate businesses that adhere to rigorous industry standards and elevate the overall consumer experience. As members of SPATA, these award-winning companies demonstrate an unwavering dedication to quality, safety, and ethical business practices, setting themselves apart as leaders in their field.

This year’s awards ceremony, held on 4 February 2025 as part of the Industry Gala Evening at the Coventry Building Society Arena, was a standout event during SPATEX 2025 (the annual UK trade exhibition for showcasing pool, spa, hot tub and wellness solutions).

The event is renowned for gathering the best and brightest of the pool and hot tub sector and showcasing innovative products, services, and industry advancements. The ceremony also featured Ollie Morgan as the Guest of Honour to present awards onstage. Morgan is a member of Team GB, a five-time British Champion swimmer, a 100m Backstroke British record holder, and a Finalist at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
