Three new industry appointments have recently been made by Naked Pools, Daisy Pool Covers and Fluidra.
New sales rep for Naked Pools
Jeremy Ashton has joined the Naked team.
Known as Jez to his friends, Ashton has experience in the retail side of the pool and spa industry and spent the past five years as Victorian sales rep for Spa Electrics.
Naked director Darren Milne says Ashton is a walk-up start for Naked Pools in Victoria.
“He already has plenty of hands-on experience with the freshwater solution and great relationships with the many builders and retail stores throughout the state,” he says.
Ashton loves spending time with family, camping and four-wheel driving.

Donohue has extensive technical experience in supporting B2B and B2B2C relationships, as well as a wealth of experience in helping his trade customers increase sales.
Managing director Derek Prince says that in recent years, Daisy Pool Covers has experienced a great deal of growth in Victoria and Tasmania and they are committed to further expanding the offering in the area in order to ensure that our customers receive the best service possible.
“We’re excited to have Russ onboard to help drive that growth and development,” Prince says.
