When Taylor’d Pools and Construction wins an award Zeik is the first person to thank their tradesmen. “Without them we’re nothing. Our trades stay loyal to us because I feel they believe we care about them. We work best as a team and come up with a better execution,” he says. The industry has indeed come forward with awards. The first year in business, Taylor’d Pools and Construction won the Poolz Pool and Spa Award. Then in 2024, they received the Australian Trades Small Business Champion President’s Award. “Awards are what lets you know your quality is shining through,” says Zeik. “Word of mouth follows those awards. It goes a long way. People feel we’re doing the right thing and it gives our business a boost.” When they received their first award in 2022, people they didn’t even know were congratulating them on Instagram. “It was getting the word out in the industry. We were confident that would come because we knew where we needed to get to,” says Zeik. Zeik believes there is value in having a social media presence, but he uses it with caution. Instagram has changed Taylor’d Pools and Construction’ business approach. “When we first got in the industry people would say ‘What have you done? Why go with you when we don’t know what you’ve completed?’,” says Zeik. Customers can look at our Instagram profile where celebrate FEBRUARY 2025
