Ute Wanschura is celebrating a round birthday today. She started her activities for the industry in 2008 at the German Swimming Pool & Wellness Association (bsw). In 2020, she then took over the bsw management.
Her tireless efforts, her extraordinary commitment, her uncomplicated way of approaching people, her infectious laugh and her diverse and highly professional communications work, whether in print or in social media, very quickly became Ute Wanschura’s very special trademark, endowed with many positive facets.
Her pool stories have now been in demand for almost 15 years on all channels and among the target groups that are important for the industry. Her special talent for writing is also reflected for example in the jury evaluations at the bsw-Awards or the suggestions for speech manuscripts of the bsw honorary office. Even the bsw circulars do not come across in boring official language, but almost always ensure not only information transfer but also the greatest reading pleasure.
But also the various event formats of the bsw and the work in the bsw committees has Ute Wanschura in the past years with her great organizational talent and her creativity significantly shaped and developed. This also applies top her involvement in national and european standardization bodies.
As Secretary General of the European Union of Swimming Pool and Spa Associations (EUSA) Ute Wanschura has also been leading the European umbrella organization of the industry together with EUSA President Bert Granderath since 2020. In particular Ute Wanschura was instrumental in shaping and professionalizing the EUSA Awards for exceptional swimmingpool and spa facilities even before her time as EUSA Secretary General. As a result the EUSA Awards have become a well-known and prestigious competition for the industry throughout europe, and each year they pay considerable dividends into the image and awareness accounts of the twelve national member associations of the EUSA.
Now it only remains to say: Congratulations dear Ute on your 50th birthday combined with a very big thank yo on behalf of the entire industry for your outstandinng, diverse and dynamic commitment to the industry.
