We've got that Friday feeling!

We've had a WONDERFUL TIME at the Farm Innovations Show! Monty's been busy networking away, as has Kerry, Mark, Phil and Phil H! Thank you to everyone that came along to see us!

I think everyone will be having a well earned rest....after they've packed away and driven back from London...Monty's excused though - bad back.

Ain't no rest for the wicked....

I don't even know where this week has gone. It went from a full office (Mark was relegated to the meeting room as there were no desks available!) to only 4 of us in the office today! Kerry, Carole, Phil H and Mark are working from home!

In the office, there's Harrison, our CAD Apprentice, having a party for one in the design office, Krzyzstof in the warehouse and Rita and I (Helen) manning the main office (although Carole is STILL the quickest to answer the phone! She would have been an amazing Wild West gunslinger...). As I said on Facebook earlier (if you haven't already, like us!), we have muffins to keep us going through today, while we're feeling deserted! Although, if we were really in the desert, I expect a scene like below would unfold. Harrison has moments of being accident prone. Bless him.

The First Aider is the least sympathetic employee.

So. I've been told this is the "quiet season" for the inflatable world - there is no evidence of that here at Airquee! Production is full to the brim and everyone's working harder than ever to make sure everyone gets their units before Christmas! The factory office is going non stop - so why I thought Viorel would have time to be dancing I don't know...

If you are looking to buy a bouncy castle before Christmas, do remember that we have a limited number of Monty and Mabel penguins to give away, so get your order in quick!

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas!

What an energetic week it has been in the office this week - with the Christmas Countdown underway it seems that Airquee don’t get any rest! Our Production Department is working to the limit so that we meet all the deadlines! Back at base at Bristol, the energy is still here as Kerry has been telling us all about her evening exercise classes with Shaun T of Insanity fame – the mind does boggle but at least it means we get the motivation by way of her excessively high spirits.  Carole is always beavering away quietly unless her pc starts playing up and she teaches us some new vocabulary from her native Highlands. 

All hands were to the pump as we mailed our customers to advise them to get their orders confirmed before 4pm on Friday the 28^th November 2014 as all offer prices will cease and we have had a huge response which is great to know the system works. What did we do before email? 

Airquee have a surprise up our sleeve for the New Year which has meant Phil H has been working like a Special Agent away from the office. We will be fit to burst when the launch date does arrive, don’t ask because we can’t divulge just make sure you are at INPAS 2015 for the unveiling.

Work hard, party hard is our motto at this time of the year so Christmas party planning has been high on our agenda too - with such a marvellous team here at Airquee we have to spoil them! 

I am sure you are all missing our animated characters however they take time and it appears that time is rather thin on the ground at Bristol however they will return, keep tuning in!

Time flies when you're having fun!

It's November. There are 7 weekends between now and Christmas. Where did this year go??

As always, there's been a lot going on at Airquee HQ. We had our shows last month, which were so much fun, thank you to everyone that came! We've released a load of new and fun products, hopefully you've seen the videos we've posted! We've got our lovely receptionist Rita as well! We have had reindeers being born at the factory and a fantastic track for them to exercise on, ready for their night of glory!

Kerry has been on the road, visiting theme parks "oop North" - and she calls that work! Two days later she was down in Winchester installing a new pool inflatable and providing training - by the looks of the video the lifeguards were ecstatic with their delivery! Apparently the centre said some of the lifeguards had been unsure about having a pool inflatable – check out the video and tell me if you think they look unhappy?! I don’t think so either! 

Mark has been globe-trotting across Europe attending various Open Days and will probably be glad to be on terra firma tomorrow!

The week has ended on a festive high with the John Lewis advert being launched and the Airquee Monty and Mabel offer!

We can't wait for the Christmas season to get into full swing now! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
