62 | Mayfair Pools New Zealand - 50th Anniversary T T Kim Newth Making pool dreams come true Mayfair Pools have a cherished place in the heart for many Kiwi families. POOL INDUSTRY Founded in Hastings by two brothers, Keith and Colin Atkins in 1973, Mayfair Pools is today an industry frontrunner and one of New Zealand’s enduring business success stories having recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. Mayfair Pools have a cherished place in the heart for many Kiwi families. For 50 years, the Mayfair team has been in the business of turning dreams of a beautiful pool into a reality. Mayfair Pools’ CEO Clint Atkins – Keith’s son - well appreciates the special magic of a family pool, having grown up around the business. He has fond memories of splashing around in one as a boy and still remembers when Mayfair Pools arrived many years ago to start digging a big hole in the front lawn for his family’s pool. “It has been in the blood ever since really.” It all started in Hawke’s Bay when his father and uncle went into business together, first making caravans before seizing on the potential of fibreglass for making swimming pools and boats. By 1970, they had built their first swimming pool at Apple Motor Inn in Hastings. Soon after that, Keith took over swimming pool construction under the Mayfair Pools brand while Colin took the helm of Concord Fibreglass making caravans and boats. By 1973, demand for Mayfair Pools was soaring and an innovative licensing system was enabling the business to rapidly expand across the country. New designs and unique inground construction methods paved the way for entry into the Australian market, followed by further expansion into the South Pacific in the 1980s.
