Liam Barrett - SAM Leisure: ‘For 25-years of Excellence’
“I was really chuffed to be recognised for my contribution to the industry. Pool sometimes seems to be ever the bridesmaid and never the bride so it’s great to think people out there know me and what I have been championing for so many years. The SAM team has all been very complimentary, although some seemed surprised that I could be so old! The EAG Award now resides on the mantelpiece. I haven’t got enough to warrant a display case!”
