Busy is better!

One of the best problems we have to complain about at Team Airquee is being so very busy! We have been inundated with enquiries and orders, the sales team are never off the phone! Next year we think we'll have to remind everyone - if you want an inflatable for the summer, you need to order early! At the moment any new orders will be delivered in August!

Over in the factory we're working through the orders as fast as we can - but even with two teams of machinists going full time AND doing overtime we still have so many orders to go! If you're waiting for your brand new inflatable, rest assured we will get it to you as fast as we can!

On our Airquee Online website however, we still have our e-range in stock - it is limited and very popular so make sure you get online and order now with next working day delivery!
