Owner Jennifer Angood says ...

When we first opened, 4 1/2 years ago, we had 3 hot tubs and 12 bottles of chemical on display....! 

I had no office and the winter time, in the freezing cold with sales at their lowest, made us wonder whether we had made a huge mistake. We had not... With a lot of devotion, a 7-day week and a passion for success... (And no holidays!) We are still here and we are now 4 times the size with over 16 hot tubs on display, 2 pools, 3 log cabins and gazebos. We have Wet Test facilities and a much larger range of Chemicals and Accessories!

We are really proud of the showroom and what we have achieved despite the recession. 

Daren and I are very passionate about our business and our high level of customer service and general standards. Now our showroom properly reflects our company and Coast spas in the best way possible.

We have been wanting to expand the showroom for the last 6 months and have finally gotten it to the point where customers, new and existing, can come and see what we have been up to.</description></item><item><title>Coast Spas Appoint UK Dealer Development Manager</title><link>http://www.coasthottub.co.uk/news_article.php?news_id=16</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Apr 2011 23:15:28 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.coasthottub.co.uk/news_article.php?news_id=16</guid><description>Please join Coast Spas Manufacturing Inc. in welcoming David Edwards as Coast Spas as UK Dealer Development Manager for the United Kingdom.

Developed in close collaboration with patients and scientists, Coast's Wellness Spa is the first to receive the endorsement of the Arthritis Research Centre of Canada.

Thanks to Coast Spas, arthritis sufferers can now enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy in ease and comfort. Coast's just-introduced Wellness Spa is the result of more than a year of close collaboration with the scientists and Consumer Advisory Board of a major research body, the Arthritis Research Centre (ARC) of Canada.

The most comprehensive therapeutic hot tub ever made, the Wellness Spa differs from ordinary spas in many ways, including extra water depth, handrails for security and easy movement, interior steps with a non-skid surface, powerful hydrotherapy jets and built-in exercise devices - making Coast the only spa manufacturer to receive ARC's recommendation.

&quot;We have always believed hot tubs have a beneficial role in the treatment of arthritis,&quot; says Coast CEO Don Elkington. &quot;Having ARC scientists and Consumer Advisory Board members on our design team showed us the needs and wants of people living with arthritis.&quot;

While traditional hot tub seating may be uncomfortable for the mobility-restricted, the Wellness Spa's body-locating seats and large footwell accommodate a wide range of sizes and shapes. Those who've had trouble entering or exiting hot tubs without assistance will appreciate the non-skid steps, external hand rail and interior balance ring. Standard hot tub dials may be hard to manipulate with sore hands, so the Wellness Spa uses levers instead.

The seats' ergonomic design allows exact placement of hydrotherapy jets. Extra footwell jets are also precisely located for maximum therapeutic benefit. Exercise bands and oars included with the Wellness Spa attach easily with clips and offer users several levels of resistance. A corner rowing seat is designed to improve user's strength, aerobic conditioning and range of motion.

&quot;Thanks to the input of ARC scientists and the Consumer Advisory Board members, we've built a hot tub that is therapeutic to arthritis sufferers as well as to people afflicted with numerous other debilitating handicaps,&quot; says Elkington. &quot;Look for many of these innovations to find their way into the rest of the hot tub models in the future.&quot;</description></item><item><title>2007 Coast Spas International Dealer Meeting A Phenomenal Success!</title><link>http://www.coasthottub.co.uk/news_article.php?news_id=12</link><pubDate>Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:12:08 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://www.coasthottub.co.uk/news_article.php?news_id=12</guid><description>Langley, British Columbia - January 15, 2007 - Coast Spas 2007 International Dealer Meeting was held at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C.

Although everyone was disappointed when neither of the couple's eggs was able to produce a chick, the site broke new ground in both man's ability to observe nature (in this case, through a camouflaged camera) and sheer numbers of viewers. More than 10 million page hits were recorded since the site launched.

Coast Spas has been supporting the Live Eagle Eye Cam site with a paid advertisement on the site, which has resulted in visits to our own site increasing sixfold to record highs - luckily coinciding with our release of our new website you're browsing now.

We'll continue to support Doug Carrick as he installs more hidden cameras at eagle nesting sites in his home province of British Columbia.</description></item></channel></rss>
