About the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards
The mission of the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards is to recognise the achievements of BISHTA and SPATA members, by showcasing the best examples of design, construction, installation, and innovation. Entries are received nationwide from members of BISHTA and SPATA and the respective trade associations who set standards governing the installation, construction, and operation of hot tubs, exercise spas, pools, spas, saunas, and steam rooms. Along with establishing a Code of Ethics by which their members abide, the trade associations also give a voice to the industry at home and abroad.
With thirty award categories, the annual British Pool & Hot Tub Awards reflects the variety of pools, spas, wellness and hot tubs that are available to suit all kinds of budgets and tastes!
Entering the British Pool & Hot Tub Awards also opens the door to Europe, as award-winning companies are eligible to be shortlisted for the European Pool & Spa Awards hosted by EUSA (European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations).

These awards are an exceptional opportunity to celebrate the outstanding calibre of wet leisure businesses and the business people we have within the British Wet Leisure industry. It was a great opportunity for all participants to catch up with friends and peers which is often difficult to organise without an awards night of this stature.
