MEET THE TEAM

Mark Bennett

Franchise Partner

Mark has been in the pool industry in Christchurch since 2015 having previously worked as a Pool Technician in an employee capacity before establishing Poolwerx Christchurch. Mark has a passion for pools and he specialises in keeping pools and spas healthy and providing ideas on how to make the most of your pool. He particularly enjoys installation projects but equally takes pride in leaving a pool sparkling clean. Mark was honoured to be awarded the SPASA New Zealand 'Infield Service Techician' and 'Professional of the Year' in 2021, this acknowledged his dedication to the industry and enthusiasm for his work. In his spare time, you will likely see Mark out paddling his kayak on the Avon River and he is kept busy following the activities of his two daughters.

Michelle Bennet

Franchise Partner

Michelle has extensive experience in customer service and administration, having worked in a number of different roles previously including a Sports Administrator for the Arawa Canoe Club, Customer Services Officer for AMI Insurance, a New Zealand Travel Specialist in London and other travel industry roles. Michelle provides administration support for the Poolwerx team as well as building her expertise in the field as required. She doesn't get much spare time in between working and PA duties for 2 daughters but when time permits you might spot her out walking her dog Storm and her favourite thing is to find a walking track in the great outdoors away from the city.

Alex

Swimming Pool & Spa Technician

Alex Steele joined Poolwerx in December 2020 after relocating to Christchurch from Auckland where he spent 6 months in the pool industry after Covid-19 brought him back from London. One of Alex’s favourite things about his job is spending time outside and turning a pool from green to clean. In his spare time Alex enjoys keeping fit at the gym, snowboarding in the winter season and is a keen supporter of Rugby League and Rugby.

Liam

Swimming Pool & Spa Technician

Liam Macey joined the Poolwerx team in September 2024. With a background as a qualified glazier and experience in bathroom renovations, Liam brings a strong practical skill set to his role. His primary responsibilities include installing new equipment and troubleshooting spa issues. When he’s not tackling technical tasks, you’ll often find Liam supporting our valet team with regular servicing. Outside of work, Liam enjoys hitting the golf course and spending quality time with his family. One of his favourite aspects of the job is designing and installing great-looking pump sheds with new equipment. Liam is also known as a bit of an animal whisperer—he loves meeting our clients furry companions during site visits.

Meg

Swimming Pool & Spa Technician

Meg Rutter came on board with Poolwerx Christchurch in December 2024, from the Methven Hotpools where she did everything from lifeguarding to 2IC of the complex. In her spare time Meg coaches in the women’s 2 nd division football league and volunteers for various charitable organisations. Meg’s skills and knowledge is valuable both out in the field in store.

Keith

Retail

Keith Blackmun first worked with Poolwerx Christchurch as a school student in 2021, stepping in to help with injury cover. When we opened our retail store in May 2024, Keith rejoined the team as our Weekend Retail Assistant. In addition to his work in the shop, you may have seen Keith at your pool—he also supports our valet team with casual cover as needed.

Storm

Chief Happiness Officer

Storm has been the nominated ‘Happiness Officer’ at Poolwerx Christchurch since 2024. She was excited when the retail store opened to be able to extend her duties to greeting customers. Her key task is to help reduce stress levels amongst the team. Her favourite food is carrots and when she’s not at the shop Storm can be found chasing sticks and sometimes magpies at the local park.

Barry

Chief Security Officer

Barry joined the Poolwerx Team as chief security officer when the store opened in May 2024. A quiet character he is sometimes thought to be rude, when he fails to answer people who ask him a direct question. Barry is best known for his social media posts and he has developed quite the following amongst the regular Poolwerx Christchurch customers. He enjoys participating in team activities, especially the Relay for Life and his favourite thing is to dress up in theme for store promotions and special occasions.
