Awards successes for pool specialist ReCreation

Development company ReCreation, which specialises in leisure centres and swimming pools featuring above-ground design, has been declared winner of the In-tend Procurement Standards Award for Social Value Contribution of the Year 2026.

The award recognises ReCreation’s commitment to embedding social value throughout every stage of project development, creating facilities and programmes that deliver measurable benefits for communities long after construction is complete.

The win comes as the company has also been shortlisted for Build, Design and Refurbishment Project of the Year at the ukactive Awards 2026.

ReCreation was founded by three former Olympians, Becky Adlington, Steve Parry and Adrian Turner, who set up the company with a vision to transform the way swimming pools and leisure centres are designed and developed in the UK.
