Sky’s the limit for pool designer
A swimming pool designer who built
his first pool aged nine has received
enquiries from across the globe after
one of his designs went viral.
Designer Alex Kemsley’s company
Compass Pools made headlines around
the world recently with their proposals
for Infinity London, a 200m high,
360-degree roof-top pool set to tower
over the UK capital’s skyline.
Since news of his design broke Alex has
fielded several new business enquiries
from as far afield as the USA and South
Africa.
Compass Pools specialise in
customised, one-piece, ceramic
composite swimming pools for both
indoors and outdoors, with their
average order value touching six
figures.
The company looks set for a record year
ahead after recently completing a move
into new premises in West Sussex and
Alex has already agreed several new
commissions. Previous clients include
footballers and TV stars.
Building swimming pools has been
a life-long passion for Alex who got
behind the wheel of an earth mover to
build his first pool with his father at the
family home aged just nine years old.
He joined Compass Pools as their
exclusive UK importer, builder and
distributor in 2011 and has helped steer
the company to a leading position in
the bespoke private pool sector.
Compass Pools has enjoyed consistent
double-digit growth in Britain since
Alex effectively launched the European
manufactured pool shells into the UK
market.
