We made it!

Happy Holidays! Yes we’ve made it, and we can gladly say, that we accomplished our goals for 2016, and we are looking forward to 2017 with new and exciting projects. Even if we’re looking forward for a 2 week of shutdown, we are still planning for the 2017 season and for the first shows of the year, the Republic of Ireland (14th and 15th of January) and the INPAS 2017 show (21st and 22nd of January). So make sure you stick around to find out more interesting stuff and follow us on all our social media platforms. 

As mentioned on the previous blog, our colleagues from Romania have their annual shutdown, and they are off until the 4th January (which is great!). At this point everyone should be preparing for Christmas and having a laid back period. The factory is empty and silent, no machines rumbling, no people moving around, no testing, no problems! Its peace and quiet for 2 weeks. 

In our office in Cwmbran, work is still going on, and preparation for the Christmas meal with the staff has happened. We had almost everyone from the staff out, well, Kerry is ill so she had to miss this one out! (Poor Kerry). It’s sort of annual tradition where our Cwmbran colleagues have this “family” moment, it makes our team grow stronger!


With this blog, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year! Airquee want to thank everyone for contributing to our growth and helping us becoming who we are, and better every day! See you in 2017, with new and exciting things!

Holiday feeling!

It’s about that time of the year when we can gladly say we made it! It’s the last full working week for our colleagues in Romania, because the Factory shutdown is due on the 21st, which gives them a head start in the festive feeling and the preparations for the Holidays. On the other hand, in our Cwmbran office, we’re preparing for the next weeks Secret Santa, organized and managed by Ollie! More details will come on the next week’s blog, so make sure you stay tuned.
In Romania, we have had one of the coldest days this year. The temperature went well below 0 (yes it was really, really cold -150C!!), which makes us want the holidays faster so we won’t need to go outside, it’s too cold. It hasn't stopped people in the factory testing the units, even though there's snow on the ground. On a positive note, the Factory managed to send out every order in time for Christmas, which we take pride in. An excellent end to an excellent year! 

Our colleagues in Cwmbran, are preparing for a staff night out next week to celebrate Christmas as a team! We’re expecting a few pictures and a lots of stories, which we might even share on next week’s blog. Next week, the Cwmbran office will be the most complete for this time of year, as people are away planning their festive activities and using annual leave, so it was the best time to plan it.


Stayed tuned next week, we’ll be having a sum up of the 2016 year with some details of the last working week in Romania, and the staff night out!

We’re almost there!

It’s Friday again, and this week was no exception in the volume of work. We have had an almost full office this week, except Sol who’s off for 2 weeks recharging after spending all year spreading the word of Airquee across Europe. We’ve had two of our Romanian colleagues visit our Cwmbran office this week, Adam from Logistics and Viktor from Marketing. Their dedication to making everything run as well as it possible can shows, as it’s all business and no pleasure, except when they treat everyone in the office to some fantastic Romanian chocolates. A nice Christmas treat for everyone! We already foresee a really busy and productive 2017 so make sure you’ve made your orders and are checking the website for constant updates of new products!
2016 isn’t over yet though and we’ve spoke about how busy we are with everyone in the Romanian factory packing the final lorry to arrive in Cwmbran this year! It will be a busy time preparing the final shipment so that orders arriving are sent out before Christmas. It’s been a great year, and the final dispatch of the year marks the end it, and we can look forward to a bit of leisure time over the festive period when the factory shuts down.
This blog is a bit short, but we’re determined to keep you updated as much as we can about the goings on at Airquee. Quality without compromise is what we aim for, and after another week of success, we’re looking forward to the next, and there are only two more until the end of the year!

Friday 2 December 2016

The Countdown has Begun!


We made it! It’s the 2nd December, we’re feeling festive and as ready as we’ll ever be to embrace the Holiday Spirit, with this week marking the start of opening of Advent Calendars. In the Cwmbran office, Ollie and Sol from our lovely Sales Team, have taken time to decorate the place. It’s definitely made everyone here feel the festive spirit, along with customers who come to visit us and our showroom, and Phil even added to the atmosphere with more decorations before everyone came in this morning!

Our factories in Romania have been closed Wednesday and yesterday for their national holidays of St Andrew’s Day and National Day. We have certainly missed colleagues not being around and it shows how much teamwork is needed from both ends to make a final product, with care and quality for our customers. This also brings us even closer to our annual factory shutdown, which is a few days before Christmas, 21st December being the last working day in Romania, just two days before the Cwmbran office closes on the 23rd December.


And a quick weather report! We had our first temperatures below zero in the UK, which means it’s the perfect time to look around our fantastic stock for indoors inflatables! There has also been a blizzard in Romania, but luckily everyone’s indoors and busy working on getting your inflatables to you before Christmas. It's like Santa's workshop with all the staff busy at work!

We’re definitely feeling the Friday vibe and it’s been a different week with the factory closed for two days and temperatures falling, but we’re pushing hard to fulfill all the orders that were sent in until November to arrive to you before Christmas! 

Friday 25 November 2016

Is it Christmas yet?

The answer to that is not yet, but it is exactly one month away! Time is moving faster than everyone realizes, and that includes how long you have left if you want an inflatable before the factory closes for Christmas. The factory has been extremely busy this year and the final lorry to come to Cwmbran will soon be full, so it’s important that if you want your inflatable, you call us and we will do what we can! December is all about caring, and we, as always, will do everything we can to make sure you get your unit as soon as possible. Our festive treat to you!
At the office in Cwmbran, we’re back to a near full house once again, which is good timing as our Black Friday sale has left the phones ringing none stop! Phil and Mark were back in the office this week, and Mark has already gone on his travels again and is attending our Netherlands Show which is being held today and throughout the weekend. We’ve been getting updates and it is proving to be another good show! Mark will be back in the office next week, Kerry will be back from her travels, and there won’t be a free seat in the office.

Since we’re talking about all the travelling the Airquee employees are doing recently, we may as well let you know about the visitors to Cwmbran! From our Romanian factory we have Viktor from Marketing and Adam from Logistics here to make our processes even better, review what a successful year 2016 has been, and make 2017 even better! As with every week, we’re busy once again because we aim to make every unit with the highest quality and won’t compromise on anything to do that, and with December being the month of giving and caring, Airquee shows how much we are about our customer service by giving 120%!



Friday 18 November 2016

Being Busy is Good!

Just like we mentioned last week, we have Phil and Mark over in Romania planning for the upcoming year, preparing the upcoming new and innovative ideas with our marvelous crew. This means Cwmbran is still not a full office but really, really busy. The office is going to be even more quite, because Kerry has left for 2 weeks, travelling as far from us as possible, all the way to Australia. Showing true Kerryan fashion (it’s not a word, but it should be!) that she is dedicated and has even given a number to contact her on during her days off! Just because our Directors are not in the office, that doesn’t necessarily mean we can slack even a bit - we always make sure you get the best possible services!

In other news, we’ve had a Photo Shoot and the model is our fantastic new addition to the e-Range, the 12 x 12 Side Slide Combi! It’s been a busy and fun time for everyone involved, and makes us remember when we first launched the e-Range last year, and doing this for 6 products. We’ve even managed to get a shot of the set! You can see our brilliant e-Range Side Slide in the Ocean theme, having all the heavy duty equipment ready to be doing magic!

Last but not least, because we’re keeping the theme “busy but good,” transport day is really close, and we have a lot of units ready to make our customers happy! Take a look at what we’ve got in store for you, and this is just a small portion of the next shipment, which will join the mountain of stock and customer orders ready for dispatch in Cwmbran. See if you can spot which one might be yours!

On that note, we’re going to end this blog post here, because we’re so busy and with so much happening this blog could go on all day. Make sure you keep your eyes on our social media to see results Airquee’s quality without compromise on all of our inflatables!

Friday 11 November 2016

It’s that time of year!

It’s a sign of the time of year, when everyone has realised that they have enjoyed their work and they have so much annual leave they have to take it off before it’s gone. This has ended up, as you’d expect, with fewer people in the office. What it hasn’t affected though is the number of calls we’ve received and how busy the people here are, so from the outside view we’re still giving the same fantastic service as ever!

Another reason that the office is emptier is because Phil and Mark are off in Romania again providing training for new processes and staff which help us make our fantastic inflatables! We have had a large number of newer products this year and it’s all thanks to the fantastic team effort.
This was shown today when we had a lorry from the factory packed with your orders! It’s always great to see the team work together and have the whole process end in the pallets all packed and customers which are very happy with their purchase!


Well, it’s a short post today, but an especially busy week. Be sure to stop by next week and see what has been happening in the inflatable world of Airquee! I think that could almost be our new strapline…

Friday 4 November 2016

Remember, remember…

The autumn 2016 inflatable trade show season is at an end now, and it’s been fantastic for us. Our most recent show was also one of the most successful ones, which might sound like a bold statement since we make it so often, but it is absolutely true! Our Sales Team made up of Wayne, Phil, Mark, Tilda and Erika spent the whole day speaking to customers, both existing and new, and success doesn’t cover half of what the show was for us. It’s times like this when we really show our team spirit and the reward always process just how well the Airquee team, both in UK and Romania, are capable of working together to bring you fantastic results. 

Outside of the inflatable world, we have had Halloween on Monday, and here in the UK we have bonfire night. For the hirers here in the UK it will definitely be a busy weekend and with Christmas less than two months away it will be sure to carry on. We have this in mind and have been slowly increasing our stock levels of both Airquee and Airquee Online products, so you won’t be caught out with a double booked inflatable.

Showing our innovation for inflatable products, we posted about our Tractor Trailer Obstacle earlier in the week and it’s definitely been a hit with everyone. We have some fantastic new ideas to talk about soon and we can’t wait to finalise everything so that it’s perfect for you. 

Friday 28 October 2016

Not Long Left Now

It’s been a busy few months, and the shows have taken a lot of preparation so we are able to show everyone what Airquee is truly capable of. The next show, which will be our final for 2016, is our Northern Ireland Show which is tomorrow! We’ve been speaking about it for quite a bit and our staff which will be at the show can’t wait to meet all the guests. With a whole host of new inflatables, and some nice surprises, you will want to be there.
Here in Cwmbran, the temperatures are dropping slightly, and with Christmas now less than two months away (as several people in the office like to remind people), it’s just two more public holidays until the festive season starts to make its face known everywhere. Our festive themed inflatable products are fantastic for getting everyone in the mood, and we had one of our Airquee Snow Globe Bouncers inflated in the showroom earlier this week. The fun 3D artwork is great and a member of our Sales Team may have found a new crush…
With a huge back catalogue of indoor and themed products, fantastic repairs service with a friendly team, and our innovative ideas created by our design team, Airquee have you covered with all your inflatable needs for the festive season!

Friday 21 October 2016

We're All Geared Up, and it's OFFICIAL!

The Official Airquee Northern Ireland Show is just over a week away, and after the lull of the September trio (not that it’s left us with nothing to do, exactly the opposite in fact!) we have been busy preparing for it. We’ve had a slew of new products which we have been featuring across all of social media for the past two weeks. It’s been a fantastic chance to show what our innovative design team is capable of, and just today we’ve been talking all about our newest playzone!

With the Official Airquee Northern Ireland Show in just over one week, we’ve been busy with preparations. With staff from our Cwmbran and Romania offices, we will have many people on hand to answer any questions you might have regarding the units. It will also be a great chance for our loyal and new Irish customers to place their orders ahead of the New Year rush of orders, and make sure they have their amazing new inflatables ready for their busy season starting in April.
And speaking of placing orders early, it’s not only residents of Ireland who would be wise to place the orders as soon as possible. Every year we would like to advise people to place their orders by the end of November to make sure that they are prepared for the busy months too. We’ve got loads of products for indoors, outdoors and even in the pool so be sure to check our website and order your perfect inflatable ahead of everyone else!

Now, since it’s Friday and the office staff are leaving for the weekend, time to go and test out the inflatables in the show room. (shhh, don’t tell…)

The September Trio of Shows!

It’s been a busy few weeks at Airquee, and with the events and whole host of new products, we’re not short on things to talk about!

The first show to start, but only by a few hours, was the Leisure Industry Week held at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a fantastic show and with Kerry, Ollie and Wayne all there, along with a low version of our 3 in 1 Sports Game, the stand was definitely a hit. We had returning customers and people just discovering Airquee visit our stand and witness the fantastic quality of our inflatables. We are also already preparing for next year’s show, with a little something extra planned!
The second show was the Euro Attractions Show in Barcelona. Mark, Phil and Sol were fortunate enough to attend this event, but there’s no rest for people here at Airquee! With not a second to spare, and the fantastic Sol spreading the word of Airquee across multiple languages, it was our best EAS yet! We had a fully printed air building manufactured specifically for the show and the quality and printing were so good, people were enquiring about having their very own.
With a small reprieve for our travelling Sales Team, they were then travelling to Coventry for what was arguably the biggest inflatables show of the year, the Leisure Supplies Show. With a huge stand space, we had a chance to show the full force of Airquee, with upwards of 7 new products launched. From the brand new Helter Twist Dome and 10ft Platform Rush Slide, to new versions of existing products with our Play ‘n’ Slide Kingdoms, 8ft Platform Helter Skelter and 8 ft Platform Curved Bounce ‘n’ Slide, it really was the stand to visit! It wasn’t just the new products which were a definite hit, we took down a pair of our Walking Tubes and the videos of those were definitely something to see.
We’ve been featuring all of the new products across all of our social media platforms so be sure to stay tuned to look at everything as we are also posting updates for the upcoming Northern Ireland Open Weekend which will be happening at the end of the month.

Friday 16 September 2016

The Trade Shows Are Only Days Away!

We’ve reminded you about the shows through social media, website updates and emails – and they’re finally here! On Tuesday 20th September we will be at both the Euro Attractions Show (EAS) in Barcelona, and Leisure Industry Week (LIW) at the NEC in Birmingham. We look forward to these all year as it is a chance for us to show what we are capable of, and we’ve got staff at both events to answer any questions you could possibly think of – obviously related to inflatables! We are at stand A32 at the LIW, and stand 2530 at EAS. Then, in just over 2 weeks we will be at the Leisure Supplies Show!

We have been hard at work designing new products, and our Facebook page has a hint of just some of the things we’re working on. Being as big a company as we are, and with so many new designs, we’ve had an inevitable “leak” this week with our Rush Slide being shown on Facebook. This doesn’t bother us at all, as the feedback has been fantastic. For those eagle eyed customers who follow all of our social media platforms, they will notice that this was also teased on our Instagram a couple weeks ago! It’s also just one of many new products we have planned to show at the Leisure Supplies Show, so be sure to come along and see for yourself just what our design team has been working on.


There will be a slight break in the shows in October for a week, and then it will be our very own shows. There is the Northern Ireland Open Weekend, which we put on together with Cooley Castles, and with such a large space there will be ample opportunity to test out the inflatables. There is also our Cwmbran show where the same can be said, and it will be a fantastic chance for you to see the high quality without compromise to any manufacturing processes!

Friday 9 September 2016

No Business Like Show Business

It’s that time of week again where you get to hear of the fantastic goings on at Airquee! It’s been another busy week as usual, and the enquiries for Christmas are jumping up as the 100-day countdown is almost here. We’ve also had customers come in to see the quality of the inflatables in our showroom so they can place their orders and be prepared for spring.
But before spring arrives, and even before Christmas, we have the end of year annual shows, with LIW and EAS less than 2 weeks away! We’ve been checking and rechecking that we have everything to show you, and watching the people prepare a pallet was almost like watching an 80s video game.

After LIW and EAS we have the Leisure Supplies Show, where we have some fantastic products to show you, and you’ll definitely be glad you visited out huge show space! A little while after that is our Northern Ireland open weekend, and the Cwmbran show where will continue our trend of fantastic, innovative Autumn. 

Be sure to stop by at one or many of the events and see the quality without compromise of our fantastic inflatables.

Friday 2 September 2016

An Exciting Autumn Awaits!

It is definitely an exciting time here at Airquee, and we have been busy at work with some fantastic and innovative products to reveal in the coming months. We haven’t forgotten our fantastic range of existing products, so there will be some refined versions of those, as we are always striving to be the best, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got some great new inflatable products and amazing new mechanical items. Be sure to watch this space and keep your eyes on this blog and social media to be in the know!

We’re already in September now, and in less than 20 days we will be at the EAS and LIW shows in Barcelona and Birmingham respectively. A bit of a distance to be at two shows simultaneously but we want to show as many people as possible our fantastic quality and service – and we will also be able to show all of you some of our fantastic new designs! Following the above two shows will be Leisure Supplies Show, where we have a big space to fill to the brim with inflatables and games of all shapes and sizes, and then our Northern Ireland and Cwmbran shows soon after.

This week is also the final week of the summer break for our fantastic colleagues in Romania. We wouldn’t be the company we are without all their fantastic work and the support they provide, and it’s times like this when we completely appreciate just what a big part of the Airquee team the factory contributes. With the busy season we’re about to enter, it’s great to be part of a huge team where we can rely on every member! Make sure that you aren’t caught out by the show rush and longer lead times, so call our Sales Team on 01179 414918 option 1 and place the order for your inflatables today.

It’s also that time of the year again where the children go back to school, and there is a small lull in the season before Halloween. This is a perfect chance to make sure your inflatables are in the best condition without much of an impact on your usual business. The weather is holding and the temperatures haven’t plummeted yet so make sure you’re prepared to make the most of it while it lasts. Call 01179 414918 option 3 and arrange for your inflatable to be inspected and in tip top shape.

Friday 26 August 2016

Aaaand we’re back!

Happy Friday! It’s been a while since the last blog, and we’ve had people ask about what’s happening here at Airquee, so it’s only fair that we tell you the latest. It’s less than a month until the first show of the season kicks off, with the EAS (Euro Attractions Show) and LIW (Leisure Industry Week) happening at the same time, on the 20th September. It’s certainly been an experience for every team here making sure we can show every customer visiting us in 2 countries can see us at our best. Closely following those shows are the Leisure Supplies Show, our Northern Ireland Open Weekend, and the show at our Cwmbran HQ. We’re very excited to show you some of the new products we have.
In the lead up to the show, we have had a lot of clients visiting our Show Rooms here in Cwmbran, and our stock reserves which we made before our Romanian colleagues had their summer break has been selling like hot cakes whenever it’s inflated. Customers visiting to collect their units or just to witness the quality of the units haven’t been in short supply at all.
The last 2 weeks, we have been lucky enough to have Viktor from our Romania team over to help with honing processes and creating new ones, which will let you see all the great new products we have in store. He has been busy the past few months recording and editing the amazing videos on our social media, and after proving his skill, he will be helping in other departments too. It’s definitely an exciting time here!

Despite how busy we have been with our shows we have made sure that each unit is made to the highest quality, without compromise. It has been a challenging, exciting and rewarding time for us here to achieve it all, and we feel we owe it to all of you to give the best we can.

There will be more to say in the coming weeks so be sure to keep up with Airquee News!

New Products and Signs of Summer!

The past few weeks at Airquee, we haven’t just been busy, we’ve had the chance to make a whole host of different inflatables. These have ranged from our standard A-frame Bouncy Castles, to arches, to giant obstacle courses! It’s been an excellent chance for us to demonstrate our innovation while keeping pace with the incredible demand.
Products not to scale.

We’ve had a constant flow of customers coming through the door, and with almost every person buying something from the showroom, it’s like a revolving door of inflatables and soft play. We have some fantastic units in stock, and there is the e-Range available from Airquee Online, so you can purchase yours today and be fully prepared for the end of May Bank Holiday!

Friday 13th might be unlucky for some, but it kicked off the start of an excellent weekend, and the first signs of summer!

Sales Team in Romania

Today has been a particularly busy week, and the Sales Team has gone global – in a manner of speaking. The newest members of our ever growing Sales Team; Sol and Ollie have joined Mark and Kerry on a trip to our TWO factories at Covasna in Romania. It has been an excellent experience for them and has certainly increased their understanding and honed their knowledge of products even more. They both now fully appreciate what happens when they email a simple order across to the Production Team and how many problems it can cause if information is missing.  They have also witnessed first-hand how hard the 225 plus employees work on Despatch days during the very busy period in the lead up to the Season as they had to stay until 11pm yesterday evening just to make sure that everything was made, checked and loaded in time!
Sol and Ollie set up to work as normal in Airquee 2
It is something that’s posted often in this blog, but the factory has been extremely busy once again, and both Sol and Ollie were awestruck as they explored the 150m of factory space in one of our two factories, you could almost see the steam coming off the machines as they were working so hard!  Airquee is ever committed to bringing you your high quality inflatables as fast as possible whilst retaining excellent working conditions – incidentally as Airquee has grown extensively over the last 5 years it has become THE place to work and people have even relocated to Sfântu Gheorghe to work for us! How great is that?
Just one of the many metres of work tables | Airquee 1
In order to provide you all with inflatables which are compliant with the BS: EN14960 standard, we have two more RPII certificated Inspectors in Romania! Quality and safety are important to Airquee and we make sure the units sent out are as safe as possible with corresponding paperwork.

In slightly tangential news, Kerry seems to have attracted all the local stray dogs and a cat during the Romanian visit! Not only has she encouraged them in to her Romanian home she has also literally had them following her on her morning walk to the office!  I think it won’t be long before we open Airquee Rescue for all animals without owners over there….

Spring Arrives and TV Time!

Easter week is already here and we are now officially in spring - it will be the Summer Holidays before you know it! It’s amazing how fast the year has flown by and with sun occasionally showing its face here in Wales, and reports of a hot February being on the news, we can feel it’s going to be a fantastic summer! As ever, we have been changing the stock in our showroom, allowing our constant stream of visitors to experience something new, with customers ordering from Airquee stock and our e-Range fuelling this constant shift.

Last weekend we were lucky enough to have two of our pool inflatables on BBC Sport’s Relief! Anton Du Beke and Kevin Clifton from Strictly Come Dancing were challenged to climbing over the Double Trouble and Eliminator aqua run style pool inflatables. Images on our website might not show the challenge of these units but you can see for yourself that it isn’t as easy as it looks! This was an excellent example of how Airquee have designed and manufactured many units, and our huge catalogue of pool inflatables contains some designs which could be exactly what your pool needs!

We’ve also recently had some of our best critics visit the showroom – children! A relative of a member of staff, who happily tested out all the inflatables.  She certainly enjoyed all the different themes of the e-Range units we have inflated ready for any visitors to come witness, and is testament to how excellent our units truly are!

Celebration of Staff and Showroom Demonstrations!

Another week has passed and here’s more news of what’s been happening at Airquee! First thing though, for those who weren’t aware, this Tuesday was International Woman’s Day! Airquee has a fantastic and diverse team and we wouldn’t be able to give you the service and products we do without the contribution of the amazing women we work with, both in the UK and in Romania – thank you all so much! Our warehouse staff – Kris and Jacek – were kind enough to show their appreciation by buying every female member of staff a box of sweets.


As has become the norm here – no, not Norman the dog! – we have had more visitors see our range of products in our Showroom for themselves. Kerry and Sol were demonstrating our craftsmanship with an Inflatable Hot Tub Wedge, which is certainly bigger than you would expect, even having seen the dimensions! To demonstrate perspective they were kind enough to pose next to a full inflated one – you can even see it comes half way up the height of an Energy Assault Course!

Looking ahead to summer, sunshine and some nice weather, we have been hard at work designing fantastic new pool inflatables! You may have seen some images last week, and here are some more to whet your appetite (pun unintended).

Friday 4 March 2016

Large Orders, Special Dates and Yummy Cakes!

It’s that time of the week again! It’s amazing how fast time is going by now. Busy as ever this week, our man in the warehouse, Leon, has been preparing some huge orders ready for dispatch. There are a whopping number of items he’s prepared which are all going to Ireland! No time to rest though as that is just one order when there are so many more to send out. It’s thanks to all our wonderful customers that we have been so busy so early in the year!
Speaking of the time of year, we had a small break this week for St. David’s Day, and were treated to Welsh cakes! Small break, delicious snacks and we were back to using our ‘grey matter’ to come up with even more new and exciting designs – Airquee’s ingenuity never has time to rest! We’ve got new products for both pool and land, so watch this space to see some exciting things!

Another exciting date passed this week, Wayne has been at Airquee for a full year! Time sure does fly, and he is so full of knowledge when advising customers you wouldn’t believe he has been here such a short time. The calibre of Airquee shows how committed we are to giving you all the information you could want on our products! In order to mark the occasion, we were treated to even more sweet snacks – it was all gone before a picture could even be taken! I think we’re going to have to start burning those excess calories by testing out some of our bouncy castles.

2016's Flying Start!

Friday is here again, phew…  in one respect we are grateful as we are having the luxurious problem of being overrun with orders which means we are ALL shattered – Bring on the WEEKEND!!!  Thank you to the incredible success of all of the Shows we have exhibited at since September last year and including the huge number of customers placing orders at INPAS, our ROI Show with Bounce Ireland, and our Airquee Northern Ireland show it’s been an outstanding start to 2016 for us and the constant innovation Airquee brings to the industry has made us more popular than ever.  It sounds like a cliché but we are a victim of our own success – what a posh problem to have!

Speaking of the Northern Ireland Show, we had a fantastic turnout of both new and returning customers looking for the next best thing and we want to say our thanks again to everyone who visited! It was a great opportunity to catch up with everyone and Ollie, one of newest recruits to the Sales Team attended and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  Phil H, Mark and Ollie from our UK office, along with Erika and Tilda from Romania! They were on hand to answer all questions from the streams of customers who visited to see all the units inflated at Cooley Castles Play Barn.  It is worth knowing that the Play Barn is constantly in use and could be visited at any time so let us know if you want to pop along.   You don’t need me to keep repeating myself as I am sure you’ve all seen our post on Facebook! If you haven’t then make sure you ‘like’ our page so you don’t miss out on our news! 
We’ve come up with so many new products recently; it can be easy to forget that we have a huge catalogue of products we’ve designed. Make sure you check out our vast products on the Airquee website to see for yourself the large array of product sizes, themes and types!

Pancakes, Visitors and New Staff!

It’s been a little while since the last blog post, and boy have we been busy here at Airquee HQ! But one of the most exciting things which has happened this week – our very own Sales Director, Kerry, made the entire Cwmbran office pancakes! We were all extremely happy to take a small break from how busy we all are to eat those delicious sweet delicacies covered with golden syrup or sugar and lemon.  Personally, I think she is too kind, but she knows only too well how to look after the Team!
Back to inflatable news. It’s been hectic here with customers visiting our fantastic showroom. We have been inundated and selling so many stock units it is constantly changing so even if the same people come in next week they will have a chance to see some more of our excellent inflatable products and games!

We’re also very happy to welcome a new member of the Airquee UK team! Adam G is an extremely talented Graphic Designer who we are lucky to have stumbled across.  Adam will be helping ensure you can see our innovative products in the most creative way possible and watch this space for some amazing new artwork themes.  Adam has some new and exciting ideas and judging by what we’ve seen already we are eager to see what he will do.
The last few weeks have enabled us to see that this is the time of year where everyone is preparing for the start of the outdoor season for inflatables. Be sure to check all of your inflatables are in tip top condition; sadly it is a well-known fact that rodents can make a nice home in a rolled up inflatable so don’t leave it ‘til the last minute to inspect yours!

I’ve been saying it for a while, but with the success of the recent exhibitions and all of our lovely visitors telling us remember many, many customers have ‘imagined it and Airquee have made it’, and we can do it for you too!
