With an extensive background in the industry, Clarke brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his new role.
Previously with Fluidra owned company, Sunbather Pool Heating, Clarke has a proven track record of driving business growth and cultivating strong relationships within the industry.
His deep understanding of the market, combined with his passion for delivering exceptional customer service, makes him an ideal fit for Fluidra Commercial Australia.

Announcing the appointment, Jeremy Smith, General Manager at Fluidra Commercial, stated “we are very excited to have Chris join our team.
"He provides a new layer of expertise to our team of industry specialists and will be instrumental in expanding our presence and delivering outstanding solutions to customers in the southern states."
