Narellan Pools began nearly 50 years ago and has developed from a local operation in a Sydney chicken shed to an international business.

Aussie born and bred, and family-owned, the business is renowned for its fibreglass inground pools handcrafted in New South Wales and Queensland facilities.

The Narellan Group today encompasses the company’s Australian, New Zealand and Canadian franchise and manufacturing businesses.

Last year Narellan Pools partnered with North America’s largest pool company, Latham Pool Products. 

Narellan Pools’ long-time managing director Chris Meyer told Inside Franchise Business at the time,“The goal is to grow our collective businesses through the maximising of the current brands, and to grow the popularity of fibreglass in the pool market.”

Meyer described the partnership as “an incredible opportunity”.

“I am delighted with the opportunities this partnership gives our incredibly passionate people, both in manufacturing and our franchise network.

“It increases our franchisees’ business value and provides new resources. Our decision to take on a partner has not been made lightly; we are acting to not only capitalise on a huge global opportunity, but also protect the long-term interest of all our stakeholders.

“We’re delighted to have found a partner that has the same drive, passion and commitment to building the world’s biggest and best pool brands.”

Named for the semi-rural suburb where the south-western Sydney business was first established, Narellan Pools was bought by the previous Meyer generation in 1988. 

Chris has been MD and owner for 17 years, and with his wife Debb has built a collaborative and open culture.

Today the business has a network of pool builders across Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria and South Australia who deliver the five-step pool construction and installation service.
