A Night to Remember: Celebrating Excellence
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 UK's leading exhibition for showcasing pool, spa, hot tub and wellness solutions).

The ceremony also featured Ollie Morgan as the Guest of Honour to present awards onstage.
