Snow, Phil is free and we're preparing for Christmas!

It’s all go at our amazing factories in Romania as the orders are still flooding in and the Christmas break is literally just one month away! Phew! What a fantastic year it has been.

Phil has returned to the UK after three weeks in Romania – he has been very busy working with all of our Team improving processes and assisting with the building of a bespoke database and production system.

The factories now have super-fast Broadband, Phil being a geek says it is 400mbps and a whopping 1000 mbps between the factories which is faster than Phil’s average running speed!

One day during his trip the factories were without power as this can happen during the Winter months and then on another day there was a burst water main that meant there was no water in the building and Phil was reminded of his days as a Boy Scout… Too much information –  but you can figure it out!

SNOW has fallen  Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! Definitely looking to be a WHITE Christmas over there!  
(Brrr- we're only missing Santa in Romania!)

Wayne, one of our Super Sales Executives has been using up his Annual Leave and went off to Prague for a few days – He showed us some of the sights via his Facebook page however they are a bit ‘blurry’ unsure if he has enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol or he has the shakes from being  ‘old’ or withdrawing from alcohol….
(Wayne's Adventures in Prague!)

Back in Cwmbran, Kerry was in the office this week livening things up by changing the Radio channel back to Radio X; rather loudly too.  Kerry and Sol escaped for an ‘executive lunch’ – oooerrrr Ladies What Lunch…

Ollie is in the festive spirit and absolutely chomping at the bit to put the office decorations up including the Christmas Tree but he just cannot convince the Humbugs!!! 
(We're sooo ready for the Christmas break!) 

Jade’s engagement ring is still blinding everyone with its sparkle and as Josh is on holiday she has been juggling wedding planning with holding the fort on the busy Repairs and Testing desk!  Well done Jade!!!

IAPPA, Phil STUCK in Romania, and GREAT SALES!


Airquee has broken all sales records again this week….!!!! Congratulations to all members of our incredible Sales Team plus all those unsung heroes behind the scenes that all help us do great things including marketing, web designers, all the boys in repairs and testing, our terrific 3D CADS designers in Cwmbran Rob and Ryan, plus the rest of our talented team in Romania. Our amazing factories have surpassed all records and we would publically like to thank everyone including Adrian, Mariane, Erika and every member of their team of wonderful people who create the designs, print, cut, sew or weld them, test them, pack them and transport the Airquee inflatables we all love.

Our leader is in Florida at IAPPA, probably by the pool with a Pina Colada. We hear its 28C and cloudless skies—poor thing!! What a chore!?
Phil H is still in Romania, (has he moved there permanently?) working his magic on our brand new Accounting and Production system, plus tweaking (tech speak for –fiddling with..) our website to give real time information about stock and prices.. More info to follow – stick around…

The radio is now playing Christmas songs every day and we are all getting in the party mood. There was even talk this week from Claire, our accountant of putting up the office Christmas Tree…steady on Claire, it’s only November!!  Our very sad looking Christmas Tree has seen better days- its got to be 10 years old… Can we have a new one with shiny new balls please?????
