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.
