Aloha Pools wins 2026 Business of the Year at the Australasian Pool & Spa Awards

The 2026 Australasian SPASA Awards of Excellence were held at a sold out venue at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre on August 19.

Nearly 500 people attended the event, held on the first evening of the SPLASH! Trade Expo, to acknowledge the best of the best from around Australia and New Zealand.

Concrete builders, fibreglass installers, retailers, service technicians and suppliers were among those presented with awards from a broad range of categories.

SPASA CEO Kristin Brookfield says it was a pleasure to join with nearly 500 members to celebrate the commitment and achievements of SPASA members across Australia and New Zealand in the past 12 months.

"Congratulations to Aloha Pools for being recognised as the 2026 Business of the Year, along with being awarded Best Concrete Pool Builder.

"The Awards of Excellence are an important part of SPASA’s efforts to promote the professionalism and value of SPASA membership to the community. We thank every member for the time and effort you give to entering the 2026 awards."

The presentations were followed by dancing to the tunes of the live band, and celebrating with team photos in the 3D photo experience and by the SPLASH! 2026 photo wall.
