The idea was born out of the shop. People wanted to know if we would offer this service, so we thought that we would give it a crack\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mark told us that the local pool builders are busy. \u201cThey have up to 12 months\u2019 worth of work lined up, more pools are going in, and none are coming out\u201d. So, the Pool Patrol Van was born.<\/p>\n<p>Mark invested in the assets required and advertised for the role. Jack Fletcher threw his hat in the ring; he was working with a grain business but spent a lot of time travelling and wanted the opportunity to stay local. Jack knew nothing about pool chemistry and pool products when he started with the business 1 \u00bd years ago but has very quickly learned via the team instore and support from Davey. Think Water Swan Hill decided that Davey was the logical partner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-yellow-box\">\n<h3><em>\u201cWe have always been Davey partners and Master Dealers.
