About Us
In 1997, after five years working in Sydney as a sub-contractor, Grant Garry set up Sparkling Pools (1997) Ltd. Joined in the business by his wife, Julia, the business quickly flourished, expanding out from its original Remuera-based clientele to encompass the wider Auckland area.
The company's business focus adapts, from time to time, to the changing economic and social climate, but the core company values remain well-embedded in the principles of strong family values; ethics and integrity; creativity and reliablity.
