The
Ray family purchased Omega Pools & Spas in 1996. The
first major expansion came in 1999 when they purchased Paveland,
a specialist Paving retail business that had been operating
for over 20 years.
Over the next few years they amalgamated the paving and
pool skills to develop a unique specialist pool business.
Melbourne's top pool builders all
realise that pool building does not stop at the edge of
the pool. Pool building is the creation of a lifestyle environment.
Omega provides
that same concept across the total market range. Whatever
your budget,Omega provides the same total package approach.
Omega is a Registered
Building Practitioner, Master Builder and accredited SPASA
Member.
All staff are fully accredited by SPASA.
The Team.
Ivan Ray Managing Director
Heading the team
after a 30 year Policing career. Retirement watching the
daisies grow, was not Ivan’s cup of tea. The challenge
of owning and operating a small business was too much of
a temptation. “Managing a small business is not as
great a difference to managing Police resources as one might
think. It is still people, budgets and resources.
Joy Ray Financial Controller
Joy also thought retirement might be a bit dull and
was easily lured by Ivan to join the company. Joy successfully
completed a career in the sports clothing industry and
brought to Omega the efficiency and attention to detail
that her previous career required. Whilst Joy focuses
on the company administration she has undertaken substantial
training culminating in recently completing the inaugural
Advanced Water Chemistry training course at SPASA. Ensuring
that Omega remains at the forefront of the industry in
ability when it comes to managing your pool or spa.
“I think
that the safety focus on swimming pools in the form of Pool
Fencing is very important and the campaigns have reduced
Child deaths substantially, but I am concerned that with
that emphasis many pool owners have lost focus on the safety
of the pool water. If my family gets in a pool I want to
know it is safe. That’s why I have focused on making
Omega an industry leader in providing the right advice to
pool owners for their peace of mind and their families safety,”
said Joy
Adam Ray Construction Manager
Adam Ray came into the business with
his brother Simon in 1998. Adam is a qualified ‘A‘
grade Electrician and initially focused on the Paveland
business becoming an experienced Paver and Landscaper. With
the growth of Pool Building in the business, Adams skills
have become a valuable asset, helping clients achieve an
outcome converting their dream into a reality within their
budget.
“A swimming pool can be a hugely positive addition
to any family but the key is, it must be designed correctly
to maximise the benefit and the contribution that the
pool can make to the quality of life of the whole family,” Adam
said.
Jo Hirst Sales
Jo is our new team member who comes to the company with a fresh approach from outside the Pool Industry. Jo has applied her sales skills to the pool Industry with ease and has become a very competent and professional Pool sales consultant.
Omega is proud to call Jo part of our team and we are confident that she will bring to the sales experience the same level of understanding and professionalism that our clients have come to expect from Omega.
Sandra
Ray Retail/Admin
The commitment to her customers is legendary. When a
problem occurs Sandra just lifts the bar. Sandra is absolutely
tenacious when it comes to her commitment to her customers
and many a supplier has regretted the day they failed
to meet the expectations of one of her customers.
“I have had a pool of my own
for many years and I understand the frustrations that pool
owners can be faced with. I only wish that the Omega Team
had been around with their depth of knowledge and patience
when I first started looking after my pool. Although I am
proud of the way my pool has been over the years I would
have gained that outcome far quicker and with a lot less
grief if Omega had been around 20 years ago.” Sandra
said.
