Rain, Birthday and new staff!

The rain have returned to Cwmbran!! Phew it was hot last week.

Wayne celebrated his 60th Birthday... lots of cake, banners and balloons….’where was the jelly and blancmange ?’ , he asked.
He was very proud wearing his giant ‘I’m 60 today’ badge!! Everyone clubbed together to buy the old timer a nice pen….he will be able to sign his pension book when it arrives……
He has just returned from his 9 days in France, Luxembourg and Germany. Lots of Michelin star restaurants and 40 degrees heat, he said. Yeah right! Back to Slimming World next week!! 
(Happy Birthday Judith)

Ollie and the boys in Repairs and Testing had a busy day training our Client at Lee Valley in London with their huge obstacle course they recently purchased from Airquee. Our Client was delighted with our efforts and are looking forward to their Summer season and our ongoing business relationship. Sol is still hard at it selling to Germany and scored her first major Nickelodeon order there. Ja! Go Girl!!

Birds attack, summer is here!

The summer has arrived. It is glorious sunshine here in Cwmbran and the Ice Lollies are circulating in the office.
Put that Air Con on !!!!! Ollie, the Sales Guru, is sweltering under this heat and is busy taking orders from our many happy clients.
(Rare sight of SUN in the British habitat)  

Sol , our delightful French Sales Executive is non-plussed, she is used to these temperatures coming from sunnier climes. Carole, is soon coming up for her 10th anniversary with Airquee. Well done Carole, you are AMAZING and have watched and been a huge part of Airquee growing from a team of 25 to nearly 300 people!!!

Wayne is off on his hols next week and will be celebrating his 60th later in June- I’m sure there will be lots of Birthday cake and Champers! Slimming World will have to wait a couple of weeks.

Our Rob and Ryan, the Dynamic Duo Designers, are currently knee deep in brand new designs - I know we keep mentioning these brand new ideas--- just wait and see!!

What of our trusty Leaders; Kerry has been out and about visiting our Leisure Clients round London this week, bring in more orders. Well done Lady Macca!  Mark has been working from the Factory and was only in the office for 8 hours and is now off to Scandinavia and other exciting places catching up with our delightful distributors Worldwide.  What a jet setter !! I think he went there to cool off, they say it is freezing there at the moment! Phil H is beavering away managing all of the things needed to keep things running smoothly… plus he seems to be cleaning his car a lot lately as the seagulls appear to like the colour of it and find it an easy target!
(Target ELIMINATED!!! )

 Our factory is still on full production ahead of the summer holiday shutdown.  We are investing more and more to increase production of our fantastically popular Sealed inflatable ranges and buildings and with the new Laser cutting machine-making 4 in total, will increase production of our stitched ranges too. 
Remember there are still a few production slots to order new inflatables and games in time for August! What are you waiting for??? Call now or visit www.airqueeonline.co.uk and buy from available stock delivered to your door within 48 hours!

Rain rain, elections and visitors in Romania


Phew, what a wet and windy week in Cwmbran it has been. The weather has taken a turn for the worse…..nevertheless, our Sales Team of Carole, Ollie, Wayne, Sol and Kerry have been out and about taking orders, dealing with Leisure Centre clients, new designs (top secret) for the upcoming shows…

Josh in our Repairs and Testing Department has been making sure all of our clients have had their inflatables checked and repaired ready for the busy Summer season.
Do you need an urgent PIPA or H&S inspection, don’t delay, give Josh a call today on 0117 9414 918 REPAIRS OPTION.


Kerry in particular, with her PA Norman the Patterdale have been up and down the land this week meeting clients and discussing deals; Norman really gets about, he was lucky enough to be shown around an old Steel Foundry in the North and the client was happy to walk with him whilst Kerry ‘papped away’ taking pictures and videos….
Norman, in light of the elections taking place this week, has been out and about meeting the voters, discussing policies and doing tv interviews!! 
Vote for Norman the Patterdale!!  Norman for Prime Minster!!! 

Our Factory colleagues in Romania have had a nice few days off with TWO back to back Bank Holidays. Lucky peeps.  They all deserve the rest - Now back to work making those beautiful inflatables for the world !!  Our lovely colleagues are working flat out again to make sure the orders are completed before the summer break in August. Exciting things have happened at Sfantu Gheorghe as Airquee expands yet again with the installation of ANOTHER cutting machine; making now FOUR in total to keep up with the ever growing demand for Airquee inflatables. 
(Preparing for dispatch!)
This week the Factories had visitors from 4 groups of children, from the  local schools. They had the chance to see the factory and to have a peek into the world of inflatables. They really enjoyed playing on our Play'n'Slide Party, Bungee Run and a  Jungle Obstacle Course. 
















The happening took place in 2 different days as there were more then 25 children at at time! They've been all rewarded with snacks and drinks after their exhausting activities. It was a success!!


That’s all folks! Let’s hope the Sun has his hat on next week! Stay tuned!

Weight loss, summer prep and a lot more !

Hello everyone from a hot and sunny Airquee HQ. The sun eventually came out in Wales this week and phew what a  scorcher today.
We had to put the Air Con On !!!!! Grass NEEDS CUTTING!!!

Our HQ is bursting at the seams with brand new Inflatables ready to be dispatched to our eager clients. It is utter chaos !! The Boys in Dispatch are in total control. It’s like a well-oiled machine out there…

Our factory In Romania is gearing up for the Summer shutdown in August and our awesome Team are working round the clock to make sure the orders are made and delivered in time for the summer holidays. If you have any orders to place- don’t hang about- get them in !!!!
Our dear leader Kerry has become an Essex Girl for a week.. high heels, fake tan and lip gloss (only joking ot all you lovely lasses from Essex) —off to meet our Commercial and Leisure clients and  get loads of orders- you go girl…!! Bring us back sticks of rock just as you did when you went to Barry island !

Our Josh, King of Repairs and Testing is rushed off his feet with existing and brand new clients looking for that extra special service.
If you have any repairs or health and safety inspections- give us a call and get your units checked out before the holidays !!!! 
(We can fix what's broken!)

Our designers Rob and Ryan and the dozens of designers who work in our Factory are beavering away, creating new and exciting inflatables ready for the Shows later in the year. I am sworn to secrecy- all I will say is that, like every year, you will be knocked out with our brand new inflatable designs and innovation to the extreme!

Wayne has continued to be a Slimming World Super Star. Another 2 pounds lost this week. 24 pounds so far… he has even donned a ghastly pair of shorts today to get air to those hairy legs. 

(Wayne is getting there!)
Carole and Ollie are both rushed off their feet with orders and interest across the globe.
Sol, our Frenchie, not content with a week in Malta she decided she needs a bit more sun so has flown to Paris for a few more days in the heat. Formidable !
