Radio X, Seagull babies and the SHUTDOWN !

The pace is still on to fulfil all of the last minute orders at our two factories in Romania. Our fabulous employees in Production, Design, Marketing and Admin are giving well over 100% to make sure our clients Worldwide have everything they need before the Summer shutdown mid-August.  They are all so looking forward to their much needed break after a phenomenal 2017 Season.

Just to reassure our readers that there will be a team of skeleton staff (not literally) working throughout the period to answer any last minute questions. Our Cwmbran centre is fully manned throughout this period for new orders, repairs and testing …

Have you had your Inflatable tested or Inspected recently?…with the Summer holiday now here, it pays to get your inflatable/s looked at and any remedial repairs done. Call Josh now  on 0117 9414918 Option 3 and get yours booked in today.

 REPAIRS AND TESTING INFO

Kerry is off to Dublin next week to see our Irish Distributor and carry out Pool Inflatable Installation training at a Leisure Centre.  Sunny Cwmbran HQ received a few European visitors to see our operation and place some orders !! Oo La La!  Wyane loved it as he got to buy Welsh cakes for everyone!

More news on the Radio X Airquee Plug we got- Kerry and DJ Chris Moyles are rapidly becoming bosom buddies although she is desperate to receive a call ‘on air’ and it’s just not happening – maybe we should apply for a place on Love Island for her for next year! The fantastic news is that thanks to her random text into the show a couple of weeks ago and her continued determination (or harassment) AIRQUEE  will be supplying a new Inflatable Pub to the Radio X Breakfast Show Team and  they will be using this to tour the UK later in the year.  Chris opened it up to a vote to choose the name for the pub and the name the listeners chose was Pubby McPubface !!!! We love it !! More news as it happens. 

The Seagulls have had their babies in Cwmbran and now they are wandering around the car park ready for take-off. Josh thought they were Ducks !!!! No Josh, Seagulls.  We are having them dive-bomb us. It’s a fast run from the car to the office door….just like the Hitchcock firm  The Birds.     As it’s in Wales, it’s ‘The Birds boy yoo’

(Starsky's car invaded)

Like I mentioned in last weeks Blog, Mark and Phil are over in the Factory next week to give the staff a big thank you for all the hard work and efforts throughout the year and make sure our Autumn range ( brand new ideas of the Autumn shows) are underway.

We have a few spaces left for standard inflatables for delivery in 4 weeks. Call us now on 0117-9414918 option 1 now.

Radio, heat and final run for the factory!

FAME AT LAST!!!  Popular DJ Chris Moyles was on the lookout for inflatables and Kerry was straight on it – texted the station and got a response! The next day Airquee got a mention during the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio X - it was a fantastic free advertising spot about our Inflatable Hogshead Pub, Kilderkin and our amazing Inflatable Church!! The Presenters were going wild and went through our product range live on air, even Lady McIvor got a mention, something about wanting a date with young Toby Tarrant in return for a PUB!!! Our website went into overdrive with over 1200 hits on our website https://airquee.com/en/  in just 10 mins!!  Yippeeee The Radio Station are even thinking about a Summer tour using one of our inflatable pubs as a mobile studio…more news at it happens. 

Eric the kitten has his eye on Kerrys gerbils !! ( Yes, I said GERBILS! She has 2 Gerbils within her growing menagerie as well as Norman the Patterdale) Eric is turning into a cheeky little addition to the McIvor household.

Ollie is on the point of a massive new order!!! Go Ollie, Wayne has since defrosted since the aircon has been turned off and  he has turned pink once again!  It was getting to the point of him wearing one of our padded sumo suits to keep warm so drastic measures were taken. Carole is still the Queen of the Leisure Centres and the orders are still flooding in in time for Summer School Holidays.

We think Sol has turned German, she is nonstop ‘Gutten Tag’ on the phone. Watch out Germany !! Sol is selling loads of inflatables and games!!

We are at the final push at our Factory before their Summer Shutdown as it really is just too hot to work – Kerry was melting last week - only a few more weeks before a well-earned rest. Don’t Panic Mr Mainwaring ! We have skeleton staff working over the 3 weeks to answer any questions about orders/production and transport.As you know, all our inflatables are inflated and tested before they are dispatched all over the Globe. You can be assured of the quality from Airquee.

Mark, our Leader,  passport in hand, did a Whistle Stop European Tour to visit our many Distributors (his boot full of chocolates and wine no doubt).Both Mark and Phil H are off to Romania next week for another jolly!?  Not really, they will be working hard with our wonderful team in Production, working with our Marketing Team and the new designs  we are launching in the Autumn.

(Flight booked for ROMANIA!)

Our new colleague Eve ( remember the last Blog, she was working with Adam!) is fitting in well and learning the Airquee ways. Eve has a young son so inflatables are very interesting to her and she loves all of the creations she is seeing in the Inflation Room whilst gleaning all about our manufacturing processes to help her do the job well.

Erika and Adam have steam coming off their feet as they rush around Airquee 2 constantly ensuring that everything runs smoothly… Viktor and Boti are making more and more videos to show our customers how the products work and how to put them together with the LOS in mind these videos are priceless! 

Josh our Repairs and Testing guru is filling the order schedule with last minute repairs and testing before the summer.   If you are looking for repairs, testing, Inspections or even a new inflatable, call 0117 9414918 now.

Hotness, Travel and a new PET CAT!

The heat has returned to Cwmbran and to our factory in Romania…its warm one…..the Air Con is on in the Cwmbran office at last. Icicles were seen hanging of Wayne’s nose and ear lobes earlier in the day…he was moaning as usual !! …’where is my coat?’ he was shouting. Carole was also shouting something in Glaswegian. ??!!??!! enough said.

** HOT NEWS**  Kerry has a new addition to the family, Eric Morecambe, the new pussy cat, together with Norman Wisdom, the Patterdale dog, the house is full of comedians. Little Eric is settling in well, under the watchful gaze of Norman the Protector.

 Once again, the sales Team has smashed their June targets and are now on their way with lots of new orders from our many and varied clients across the UK and Europe. If you need a last minute inflatable, get on the phone or email us quick. Our factory is on holiday in 1 months’ time for 3 weeks !! call us on 0117 9414918 option 1 and get you last minute orders made ready for the summer season.

The Designers and the Bosses are often seen huddled in corners discussing our new products of the autumn shows. I’m sworn to secrecy so I cannot divulge a thing here !!

This week Kerry has been working from Romania at both of our amazing factories... and what a busy time she has had arranging new design and production schedules from September along with overseeing testing procedures, quality control processes and of course she had time to take some of the UK admin Team out for a bite to eat - clearly she is loving the Hungarian Step Aerobic classes with Ida Kelemen!!! 

The Factory are still working overtime to get the brand new inflatables to us in record time and record numbers. Business has never been better. Well done to our magnificent workforce  !!
