CURRENT CASE STUDY: STEVENS POOLS
Stevens Pools, a family-owned business with over 60 years of experience in pool construction and water feature design, is working with Valentis Capital to address operational and financial challenges. Known for delivering high-quality residential and commercial pools, Stevens Pools faces several industry-specific issues, including:
Supply Chain Disruptions:
Delays in sourcing custom materials like Italian-made heaters and tiles, with lead times doubling post-COVID.
Labour Shortages:
Challenges in finding and retaining skilled workers in a labour-intensive field.
Contractual obligations:
Fixed-price contracts without inflation clauses left the company vulnerable to rising costs during the pandemic.
OUR APPROACH
We’re conducting a full Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), market analysis, operational analysis, and valuation for Stevens Pools. By addressing these challenges, we’re helping them optimize supply chains, improve project timelines, and strengthen their margins across both residential (50%) and commercial (50%) segments. Beyond solving immediate issues, we’re focused on building a sustainable framework to ensure the company continues to thrive.
PROJECTED COMPLETION
The full Case Study is projected for completion in Q1 2025.
