Kate McKnight, country manager for UK & Ireland at Myrtha Pools

The leisure business expert and firm’s manager in the UK and Ireland on switching jobs during covid, the importance of leisure facilities and why the sea is better when it is rougher

Why did you choose construction as a career?

It was a natural progression for me, I have spent many years programming and “sweating the asset” of a swimming pool, so moving into the design and construction sphere gives me the opportunity to deliver a pool that will work for the local authority, facility owner, local community and the wider sport.

I get great satisfaction from knowing the pool will be well-used and economically sustainable for the future, allowing many generations of children to learn to swim and enjoy swimming in their everyday lives.
