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!

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?

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….
