SPATEX 2027 Exhibitor List

<p>James Lee, MD at Hydro Finesse and partner at Greentech International and member of ISPE, SPATA, The Biofilm Alliance and PWTAG Industry Forum Member.</p> <p>James started his recreational water career during the mid 1980&rsquo;s and became a commercial swimming pool manager in the early 1990&rsquo;s. He managed a number of&nbsp;large commercial Aquatic Centres for both local authority and privately owned organisations and was part of a team who made one of the first successful applications for National Lottery funding (large Regional Aquatic Centre). In 1999 James moved into recreational water treatment working in various senior appointments for several well known multi national companies but it was biofilms that captured his imagination over 15 years ago understanding the impact biofilms had in other industries such as Industrial, agricultural and drinking water industries.</p> <p>Applying this science and experience to the recreational water industries was a light bulb moment, realising many of the difficult to treat issues such as persistent microbiological failures lay at the hands of biofilms. James has undertaken a number of well received presentations for the Biofilm Alliance, Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers and academia organisations on the impact biofilms have in swimming pools, spa pools and hot tubs.</p>

Mike&rsquo;s journey into the world of swimming pools&nbsp;began before he could even remember &ndash; appearing in a pool lighting brochure at just 12 months old. The wet leisure industry has always been in his family, with his grandad, dad, and uncle all running successful construction and services companies. This gave Mike the opportunity to gain invaluable experience in multiple different roles and see the design and construction process for various angles. Mike now runs Pool Logic, a wet leisure design and consultancy company, where he provides architects, pool engineers, and prospective pool owners with industry knowledge and clear, understandable designs.&nbsp;
