Today has been a particularly busy week, and the Sales Team
has gone global – in a manner of speaking. The newest members of our ever
growing Sales Team; Sol and Ollie have joined Mark and Kerry on a trip to our
TWO factories at Covasna in Romania. It has been an excellent experience for
them and has certainly increased their understanding and honed their knowledge
of products even more. They both now fully appreciate what happens when they
email a simple order across to the Production Team and how many problems it can
cause if information is missing. They
have also witnessed first-hand how hard the 225 plus employees work on Despatch
days during the very busy period in the lead up to the Season as they had to stay
until 11pm yesterday evening just to make sure that everything was made,
checked and loaded in time!

It is something that’s posted often in this blog, but the
factory has been extremely busy once again, and both Sol and Ollie were
awestruck as they explored the 150m of factory space in one of our two factories,
you could almost see the steam coming off the machines as they were working so
hard! Airquee is ever committed to
bringing you your high quality inflatables as fast as possible whilst retaining
excellent working conditions – incidentally as Airquee has grown extensively
over the last 5 years it has become THE place to work and people have even
relocated to Sfântu Gheorghe to work for us! How great is that?

In order to provide you all with inflatables which are
compliant with the BS: EN14960 standard, we have two more RPII certificated Inspectors
in Romania! Quality and safety are important to Airquee and we make sure the
units sent out are as safe as possible with corresponding paperwork.

In slightly tangential news, Kerry seems to have attracted
all the local stray dogs and a cat during the Romanian visit! Not only has she
encouraged them in to her Romanian home she has also literally had them
following her on her morning walk to the office! I think it won’t be long before we open
Airquee Rescue for all animals without owners over there….
