Amy Lemieux and Fred Goss are final winners of the Perfect Pool Tech 2022 contest held annually by Pleatco, co-sponsored by GENESIS and Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA). The contest awards the best pool service technicians in the U.S.
In response to winning the award, Lemieux said, “I am so filled with joy and excitement at winning such an honour among my peers. Winning the Pleatco Perfect Pool Tech 2022, I do not take lightly. I will uphold the ‘perfect’ every day of my life. I try so hard to show my love for the pool industry by educating and connecting to customers and learning from my peers. This is like winning the Super Bowl.”
Goss of North Charleston, South Carolina, put a great deal of effort into making sure his nomination was up at the top of the rankings. Goss said, “I am completely honoured to receive this recognition for my hard work in an industry that is more than my job but my passion. In my pursuit for continued education and knowledge in the pool field, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people, and to have the opportunity to represent this community is something I will forever be proud of and grateful for.”
Pleatco, this year once again, created additional awards at the contest. “During our final interviews, we were impressed by the caliber and diversity of a few individuals and felt it was proper to recognize their outstanding achievements,” says Seth Soltow, general manager at Pleatco. “In that spirit, we selected contestants for special awards based on their contribution to their community and the pool and spa industry.”
Kristine Blanchard of Hooksett, New Hampshire, will receive the Pleatco Future Leadership Award 2022. She says, “I have been in the industry for most of my life, and for my work to be recognized in such a major way feels pretty incredible. Winning the Pleatco Future Leadership 2022 Award is a huge honour, and I could not be more excited for this opportunity. Thank you to everyone who got me to this point in my career, I hope I made you all proud today.”
Jason Scaramuzzi of Coventry, Rhode Island, was excited to win a major award. He says, “I am both honoured and grateful to receive the Pleatco Industry Achievement Award 2022. This recognition is appreciated, and I would like to thank the people within the industry [with whom] I have had the pleasure of working with and learning from. Although so much of this industry is old school—it is also ever-changing. I welcome the opportunity to continue my education while challenging myself to learn new skills and hone the ones I have learned and work with daily.”
This year’s major winners will each be given free enrolment into GENESIS’s courses, C201: CONCRETE POOLS or C260: VINYL LINER/FIBERGLASS POOLS.
The official awards ceremony will be held on Nov. 6, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. in the Pleatco Booth numbered 4745 in the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo in Las Vegas.
