LIW, Lulls and Friday Fuel

Happy Friday! We’ve had an excellent and exciting week here at Airquee. The first show in our end-of-year show season, Leisure Industry Week (LIW) was this week and we had the chance to meet some fantastic people. Our newest member Ollie whet his feet, along with mentor Wayne at the show on Wednesday and learned a lot about the people in the industry and had a fantastic chance to meet and greet some of you! Now back in the office, Kerry is treating everyone here to a mini party and cake, celebrating her birthday tomorrow!

We now have a small lull in the shows where we have chance to fine tune the upcoming experiences. We will then be having shows back to back, to back. To back! It will be a busy month from here on out with the EAS held in Gothenburg, Sweden from Tuesday 6^th October until Thursday 8^th October. This will be followed by the Leisure Supply Show in Coventry on Sunday 11^th October and Monday 12^th October. Then the chance for you to come see our fantastic showrooms in Cwmbran! We will be having our open weekend from Friday 16^th October until Monday 19^th October! Following this will be our Airquee Northern Ireland Open Weekend on Saturday 24^th October and Sunday 25^th October.

As you can see, an extremely busy time for us with lots of travelling to meet and greet our excellent customers! Wayne has been kind enough to bring in some ‘family’ branded Barry’s tea! With a busy office, Friday Fuel in the form of tea will help us motor along with preparations while still running the office as usual, answering any questions you have and working full steam with production!

We’re all working hard on everything to make the best possible products for you here at Airquee, where if you can imagine it, we can make it. Visit us at one of the dates above and you will see it! 

LIW is almost here!

Less than 24 hours until we will be at LIW! We’ve been busy preparing and we are bristling with excitement at showing you what we have planned and a small amount of what we can do. Today our directors Phil H and Phil M will be travelling up to The NEC in Birmingham setting up the exhibition. Be sure to come and visit us and we can answer all your questions on our fantastic array of inflatables!

In other events happening here at Airquee, our team has once again increased in size! We are pleased to welcome Ollie to our sales team who started last week. He’s already been coached by the previous new member of the sales team, Wayne! We are determined to provide you the best service we possibly can and our constant increase of staff needed to shows how our well-designed and well-manufactured products are exactly what you all want. Ollie will have a chance to meet some of our excellent customers and industry veterans when he and Wayne make their way to LIW on Wednesday and join Phil H and Kerry in answering all your questions.

Events starting and an expanding team here. If you can imagine it, Airquee can make it, so come visit us at LIW and we can tell you all about it! There will be many chances to see us in the upcoming weeks. If you can’t make it to LIW, come to our Cwmbran open days are 16^th – 19^th October! 

Busy Times and Goodbyes

The events season draws ever closer still, and here at Airquee we are putting the finishing touches on everything we need to provide the best show we can! The first stop on the itinerary is the LIW, Leisure Industry Week, held at the NEC in Birmingham on the Tuesday 22^nd September and Wednesday 23^rd September. The LIW is described as “the heartbeat of the UK leisure industry” and we intend to show how our innovation and expertise are perfect for any leisure business, and we will be showcasing a new product and range! Make sure you come along and to get the first look and a good deal!

In other, and sadder news this week, today is the final day of Helen, who previously wrote all the blog posts and social media. She has prepared us well with sarcasm and what we need to know and her contributions at Airquee will continue to help us be the best we can be! We can continue to show you how amazing we are at more upcoming shows.

A short post this week, but those finishing touches for the shows must be completed. More news from us here in the upcoming weeks where if you can imagine it, Airquee can make it. Soon you will be able to see some of our new products exclusively at the shows, just a small fraction of what we can do!

Full Swing Preparation!

It’s getting closer to the events season in the inflatable and leisure industries and here at Airquee we have been busy preparing everything so that you can fully experience our wonderful products! More on this will be revealed in the coming weeks, but the dates of the shows coming up are:

Our excellent and talented staff in our factory are back from their annual holiday on Monday and it’s straight back into work mode as they work on creating all your amazing products. We’re already fully booked in September with orders, so hurry up and get your orders in to avoid a wait!

Here at Cwmbran the Directors are away from the office – back to school for them! Phil, Mark, Kerry, Phil H, as well as Adrian and Mariane from the factory are all on a training course in Bristol for the day. The warehouse staff are also having some in house training. As we’re getting bigger we want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to get better as well! 

But we’re all still busy in the main office, with Andrew working through repairs, and Sue answering all your queries over the phone while arranging dispatch. As always, Carole and Wayne are ready and waiting in the sales department, ready to help you chose the perfect inflatable! We're all excited and getting prepared for the upcoming weeks!

So - training, preparation and back-to-work for us here, where if you can imagine it, Airquee can make it. Lots of busy and exciting times coming up so stay tuned!
