Airquee's NEW Surfing Dino Rodeo

Airquee Open Weekend - last day, last chance for deals!

What a fantastic Open Weekend Extravaganza we have had! A HUGE thank you to everyone who made the trip to Bristol. 

The new inflatable game, our pedal powered La Tour Fatale Game has been so popular on Facebook over the last few days and I have to say it is the show favourite so far! 

It means that all members of the team or players can take part and the arm on this one appears to whizz round much faster than the automated version, I had so much fun knocking all the guys in our team off their feet, even my boss!

Another clear favourite has been our fantastic Dancing Dome with internal slide – it has all of the fun of the original Dancing Disco Dome but with a slide…weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We have had on display a very simple inflated Archery Game and that has been a hit with budding Robin Hoods and William Tell groupies! You can choose a backdrop and we can print that for you or send us your own artwork as Mr Peter Grand did for his new acquisition!

Of course we have had the bouncy castle range out too and customers are ASTOUNDED by the bounce they get from an Airquee Adult Bed – with a superb volume of air and big tubes everyone can bounce higher and higher knowing that with a sewn in roof, meshed in back window and step compliant to the EN14960:2013 Standard they are safe to do so! 

Customers fell in love with our new Beach artwork depicting the epitome of  a good old Blighty Seaside Holiday, ice cream cones, striped deck chairs, donkeys and even an inflated Banana Boat Ride in the sea!

We have the brand new Safari Theme for a wild time!

We also launched a new version of Party Theme artwork in pink and blue and customers think this is great too!

  

Our awesome Dancing Fever artwork will make anyone want to shuffle their feet on the dance floor or bouncy bed! 

The Bouncy Castle Network joined us for the Weekend and had many new customers sign up for websites so they are pleased which is always great, they will also be joining us at our Airquee Ireland Open Days at Northern Ireland this coming weekend. Visit their website to enquire about websites and more…They also do a lovely thermal mug for hot drinks if you ask nicely!

If you cannot make the last day of our show today then please call and place an order to receive a show price – Prices valid for orders placed up to 4pm TODAY Monday 13th October! Call the office on 01179 414 918 option 1, Kerry on 07990 766129 or email Sales@airquee.co.uk!

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN....

We're so excited for the first day of our OPEN WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA tomorrow!

Hope we see you there!

Many happy returns!

With the Show Season now fully in swing we would like to thank everyone who stopped by the Airquee Stand at EAS 2014 in Amsterdam! It was a HUGE success and once again Airquee had a booth that was jam-packed for the whole three days. We met some amazing new customers from all over the world - In fact, 2014 was the most attended EAS to date! 

Today is the 26^th September 2014 and exactly 44 years ago something very special happened…  

Anyone would think it was an annual holiday at Airquee today as it is Kerry’s Birthday!! And she seems to have told anyone and everyone who has visited the office, called the office or sent in an email!  She's been so over excited and to be honest it is extremely endearing - so we want to make sure she has a FANTASTIC day! As usual the office is busy and bustling however once Kerry gets here the excitement levels are sure to reach breaking point! Anyone who knows Kerry or has dealt with her on the phone will know exactly what I mean. Personally, I am just really happy she remembered that it is the birthday person who brings in the cake!

Last night half the Airquee Team ventured out after work for a bite to eat and it was a good night – we sell fun products, therefore we owe it to our customers (and ourselves) to  ensure that FUN is part of everything we do! And - can you believe it - Lady McIvor (as she likes to be known) has already booked our office Christmas Party! There are only 89 days to Christmas Day - where has the year gone?! That might be why we're already getting enquiries for our winter and Christmas Grottos and other festive products and games! So don’t dilly dally, call 0117 9414 918 option 1 and get your orders in now so that you receive them in time.

We have a couple of new staff in the main office and they are both settling in well - more about them will follow later in the year!

Remember that you can see Airquee at the LIW next week at the NEC, and then at the Leisure Supplies Show and (most importantly) we are holding our Bristol weekend EXTRAVAGANZA on the 10^th, 1th, 12^th and 13^th of October 2014.  We will be showcasing brand new products, new designs and new themes so make sure you come along!

Tidy warehouse, tidy mind.

Our Repairs/Warehouse staff have got the day off from their usual roles - not for fun and frolic but in order to rearrange the warehouse!


In the last few years Airquee has grown and improved in so many ways but our warehouse has stayed the same - and gotten fuller and fuller. You know how it is, there's always something tucked away in a corner that you forget about, something else gets put in front and before you know it so much wasted space! But Airquee is reclaiming the space that could be used!

So the past few days Krzysztof and Jay have been moving and tidying, ready for today when they (with a couple of helping hands) have moved Krzysztof's giant repair table! 

The move will free up some more shelves and leave us with more space for testing larger inflatables indoors! And as we're moving into autumn, indoor space will be more in need!

Otherwise the Airquee office is still preparing full steam ahead for all the industry shows coming up! Production are working on finishing off our brand new inflatables and designs, Sales are talking to all the leisure centres, hirers, and distributors, Marketing are getting all the leaflets and price lists ready and sending out email mailers. 

Make sure you're on our mailing list for full details! You can subscribe from any page on our website, under the main menu: http://www.airquee.co.uk/

On with the shows!

Now that the summer holidays are over the Airquee Team is looking forward to the next big events on the inflatable calendar* - the industry shows! 

Although it means there's a lot to organise and prepare for each show, it's also so fun and exciting because it's a great opportunity to talk to and catch up with all of YOU! It's so important to us to keep in contact with our customers, we love to find out how you feel - about the industry, how your year is going, and any new ideas for an inflatable or feedback on our products.

We'll be sending out mailers and talking about the shows on our Twitter and Facebook, but just to say it AGAIN the details of the shows coming up in the next couple of months are:

Euro Attractions Show 2014 (EAS), Amsterdam, Netherlands 23rd - 25th Sept.

Leisure Industry Week 2014 (LIW), Birmingham, UK 30th Sept - 2nd Oct.

Leisure Supplies Show, Coventy, UK 5th - 6th Oct.

Bristol Open Day, Bristol, UK 10th-13th October.

(*We don't actually have an inflatable calendar. That would be pretty cool though). 

Return of the blog!

Dear Airquee Blog followers!

Please accept our apologies for the lack of posts and updates on here and our social media - Helen, our resident blogger, took a holiday! Yes, yes, I know, a HOLIDAY, criminal isn’t it?! I had absolutely no idea how to update our fantastic blog nor am I aware of how to create the lifelike cartoons that Helen does either, therefore the blog has not been updated. 

A lack of blog didn’t mean that the cogs of Airquee ground to a halt, oh no! We've all been beavering away, getting ready for the Show Season!

It kicks off at Amsterdam with the EAS – (click on this links for more details): http://www.airquee.co.uk/eas.html then onto LIW at the NEC: http://www.airquee.co.uk/liw.html and back on the road onto the Leisure Supplies Show http://www.airquee.co.uk/leisure-supplies-show-2014.html in readiness for the MAIN ANNUAL EVENT at our Bristol Show Room and Sales Office on the 10^th, 11^th, 12^th and 13^th October http://www.airquee.co.uk/bristol-open-weekend.html and then across the water to Northern Ireland for this show on 18^th and 19^th October http://www.airquee.co.uk/northern-ireland-open-day.html

After a brief rest the Airquee team will be donning their wellies and heading to the Big Smoke in preparation for the Farmers Innovation Show at Olympia on 27^th and 28^th November http://www.airquee.co.uk/farm-show.html

We hope to see you at one of the events listed above however remember you only have to call 0117 9414 918 and select option 1 for sales or you can contact us via Facebook or Twitter.
