Fluidra Commercial appoints new BDM

Fluidra has announced that aquatic industry expert, Yvette Audet, has joined their commercial team as NSW/ACT business development manager.

Audet has an extensive background in the aquatic and leisure industry which spans almost three decades.

General manager for Fluidra Commercial, Jeremy Smith says her experience in the industry - along with her involvement in relevant governance positions - offers valuable insights into the current aquatic trends and how best to meet customers’ needs and wants.

“We are very excited to have Yvette join the Fluidra Commercial team. Her experience in the commercial aquatics space both from an operational background and an understanding of new projects from early stage feasibility to completion brings a new perspective to our existing team of industry specialists,” he says.

“Along with her experience in the planning and programming for aquatic leisure centres, and her strong customer focus, she is a good fit for the company as we launch further into the APAC commercial market.”

Smith says Audet’s position on the International Aquatic Circle and her vice president role in the International Association for Sport and Leisure Facilities (IAKS), combined with Fluidra’s presence in 45 countries, will enable the Fluidra Australia Commercial team to network globally, but still have a local focus. He adds that as a local manufacturer, Fluidra’s Australian-made products create solutions for aquatic spaces and places to maximise the customer experience.

“I am glad to bring my knowledge and skills across to the Fluidra team,” says Audet. “I look forward to strengthening my relationships in the aquatic industry to help provide affordable and responsible solutions for the betterment of our local communities.”
