Jim’s Pool Care celebrates 2026 national award winners
Following their national conference held on the Gold Coast concurrently with the SPLASH! 2026, Jim’s Pool Care held their awards gala on the 77th floor of the SkyPoint Tower.
“Our awards are always a highlight of the year,” says Brett Blair, divisional head of Jim’s Pool Care.
“From regional recognition through to our national awards, it’s an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work, dedication and achievements happening right across our network.”
The three major national award winners are:
Franchisor of the Year: Jason Catanzariti – Jim’s Pool Care Gold Coast Region
Franchisee of the Year: James Steltenpool – Jim’s Pool Care Toronto
Rookie of the Year: Tim Wood – Jim’s Pool Care Glen Iris
“We’re incredibly proud of Jason, James and Tim, along with all our regional and national award recipients who have worked so hard throughout the year,” says Blair.
“It’s always special to recognise the people behind our network. Every franchisee brings something different to the business, and the effort that goes into building and growing a successful business deserves to be celebrated.
“We are proud of every one of our franchise owners around Australia and what they are achieving, but we have to recognise those that are at the top of their game and say congratulations and reward them. It also allows the newer team member to reach out and learn more from those more experienced and that is really what our network is about.”
