Belhasa backs Qatar expo

BELHASA Projects (BHP), the Middle East’s largest specialist company in swimming pool construction and maintenance, is the key sponsor of the first Qatar International Exhibition for Pools and Spa (QPS 2012).

More than 180 local and international companies are expected to particpate in QPS 2012, which will take place at the Doha International Exhibition Centre from October 7 to 9, 2012 in Doha, Qatar.

Greg Garner, CEO of Belhasa Projects, said: “Qatar is an important strategic market for us and events like QPS 2012 give us a chance to showcase our abilities and reach out to our target audience. With the rapid growth of the Qatar economy, we are witnessing an increase in demand from individuals, educational institutions, hotels and other commercial sectors for uniquely designed aesthetic and international quality swimming pools and spa. We are also specialists in MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), landscaping, water features and maintenance – so we can provide our customers an all in one inclusive package.”
