Friday treats!

You guys really like inflatables, don't you?! I know we're always saying how busy we are, and we often hear customers frustrated with our lead times. But we can't help being popular! 

In all seriousness, we do all we can to manufacture as quickly and within given lead times - we have 2 shifts going in the factory, and our wonderful workers have volunteered to do weekends as well to keep up with the demand. We are very lucky to have our factory in Romania, they all do an amazing job!


Wayne our "new" Sales Executive is off to a flying start, he's been making a great impression on you all! With his calm and thorough manner, he's been talking, learning and helping people choose the perfect inflatable!


Meanwhile in the main office, it's been a long week, with all the usual trials and tribulations. However, our Friday treat makes up for it. Nom.


We hope everyone has a good weekend!
