We're All Geared Up, and it's OFFICIAL!

The Official Airquee Northern Ireland Show is just over a week away, and after the lull of the September trio (not that it’s left us with nothing to do, exactly the opposite in fact!) we have been busy preparing for it. We’ve had a slew of new products which we have been featuring across all of social media for the past two weeks. It’s been a fantastic chance to show what our innovative design team is capable of, and just today we’ve been talking all about our newest playzone!

With the Official Airquee Northern Ireland Show in just over one week, we’ve been busy with preparations. With staff from our Cwmbran and Romania offices, we will have many people on hand to answer any questions you might have regarding the units. It will also be a great chance for our loyal and new Irish customers to place their orders ahead of the New Year rush of orders, and make sure they have their amazing new inflatables ready for their busy season starting in April.

And speaking of placing orders early, it’s not only residents of Ireland who would be wise to place the orders as soon as possible. Every year we would like to advise people to place their orders by the end of November to make sure that they are prepared for the busy months too. We’ve got loads of products for indoors, outdoors and even in the pool so be sure to check our website and order your perfect inflatable ahead of everyone else!

Now, since it’s Friday and the office staff are leaving for the weekend, time to go and test out the inflatables in the show room. (shhh, don’t tell…)

The September Trio of Shows!

It’s been a busy few weeks at Airquee, and with the events and whole host of new products, we’re not short on things to talk about!

The first show to start, but only by a few hours, was the Leisure Industry Week held at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a fantastic show and with Kerry, Ollie and Wayne all there, along with a low version of our 3 in 1 Sports Game, the stand was definitely a hit. We had returning customers and people just discovering Airquee visit our stand and witness the fantastic quality of our inflatables. We are also already preparing for next year’s show, with a little something extra planned!

The second show was the Euro Attractions Show in Barcelona. Mark, Phil and Sol were fortunate enough to attend this event, but there’s no rest for people here at Airquee! With not a second to spare, and the fantastic Sol spreading the word of Airquee across multiple languages, it was our best EAS yet! We had a fully printed air building manufactured specifically for the show and the quality and printing were so good, people were enquiring about having their very own.

With a small reprieve for our travelling Sales Team, they were then travelling to Coventry for what was arguably the biggest inflatables show of the year, the Leisure Supplies Show. With a huge stand space, we had a chance to show the full force of Airquee, with upwards of 7 new products launched. From the brand new Helter Twist Dome and 10ft Platform Rush Slide, to new versions of existing products with our Play ‘n’ Slide Kingdoms, 8ft Platform Helter Skelter and 8 ft Platform Curved Bounce ‘n’ Slide, it really was the stand to visit! It wasn’t just the new products which were a definite hit, we took down a pair of our Walking Tubes and the videos of those were definitely something to see.

We’ve been featuring all of the new products across all of our social media platforms so be sure to stay tuned to look at everything as we are also posting updates for the upcoming Northern Ireland Open Weekend which will be happening at the end of the month.

The Trade Shows Are Only Days Away!

We’ve reminded you about the shows through social media, website updates and emails – and they’re finally here! On Tuesday 20^th September we will be at both the Euro Attractions Show (EAS) in Barcelona, and Leisure Industry Week (LIW) at the NEC in Birmingham. We look forward to these all year as it is a chance for us to show what we are capable of, and we’ve got staff at both events to answer any questions you could possibly think of – obviously related to inflatables! We are at stand A32 at the LIW, and stand 2530 at EAS. Then, in just over 2 weeks we will be at the Leisure Supplies Show!

We have been hard at work designing new products, and our Facebook page has a hint of just some of the things we’re working on. Being as big a company as we are, and with so many new designs, we’ve had an inevitable “leak” this week with our Rush Slide being shown on Facebook. This doesn’t bother us at all, as the feedback has been fantastic. For those eagle eyed customers who follow all of our social media platforms, they will notice that this was also teased on our Instagram a couple weeks ago! It’s also just one of many new products we have planned to show at the Leisure Supplies Show, so be sure to come along and see for yourself just what our design team has been working on.

There will be a slight break in the shows in October for a week, and then it will be our very own shows. There is the Northern Ireland Open Weekend, which we put on together with Cooley Castles, and with such a large space there will be ample opportunity to test out the inflatables. There is also our Cwmbran show where the same can be said, and it will be a fantastic chance for you to see the high quality without compromise to any manufacturing processes!

No Business Like Show Business

It’s that time of week again where you get to hear of the fantastic goings on at Airquee! It’s been another busy week as usual, and the enquiries for Christmas are jumping up as the 100-day countdown is almost here. We’ve also had customers come in to see the quality of the inflatables in our showroom so they can place their orders and be prepared for spring.

But before spring arrives, and even before Christmas, we have the end of year annual shows, with LIW and EAS less than 2 weeks away! We’ve been checking and rechecking that we have everything to show you, and watching the people prepare a pallet was almost like watching an 80s video game.

After LIW and EAS we have the Leisure Supplies Show, where we have some fantastic products to show you, and you’ll definitely be glad you visited out huge show space! A little while after that is our Northern Ireland open weekend, and the Cwmbran show where will continue our trend of fantastic, innovative Autumn. 

Be sure to stop by at one or many of the events and see the quality without compromise of our fantastic inflatables.

An Exciting Autumn Awaits!

It is definitely an exciting time here at Airquee, and we have been busy at work with some fantastic and innovative products to reveal in the coming months. We haven’t forgotten our fantastic range of existing products, so there will be some refined versions of those, as we are always striving to be the best, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got some great new inflatable products and amazing new mechanical items. Be sure to watch this space and keep your eyes on this blog and social media to be in the know!

We’re already in September now, and in less than 20 days we will be at the EAS and LIW shows in Barcelona and Birmingham respectively. A bit of a distance to be at two shows simultaneously but we want to show as many people as possible our fantastic quality and service – and we will also be able to show all of you some of our fantastic new designs! Following the above two shows will be Leisure Supplies Show, where we have a big space to fill to the brim with inflatables and games of all shapes and sizes, and then our Northern Ireland and Cwmbran shows soon after.

This week is also the final week of the summer break for our fantastic colleagues in Romania. We wouldn’t be the company we are without all their fantastic work and the support they provide, and it’s times like this when we completely appreciate just what a big part of the Airquee team the factory contributes. With the busy season we’re about to enter, it’s great to be part of a huge team where we can rely on every member! Make sure that you aren’t caught out by the show rush and longer lead times, so call our Sales Team on 01179 414918 option 1 and place the order for your inflatables today.

It’s also that time of the year again where the children go back to school, and there is a small lull in the season before Halloween. This is a perfect chance to make sure your inflatables are in the best condition without much of an impact on your usual business. The weather is holding and the temperatures haven’t plummeted yet so make sure you’re prepared to make the most of it while it lasts. Call 01179 414918 option 3 and arrange for your inflatable to be inspected and in tip top shape.

Aaaand we’re back!

Happy Friday! It’s been a while since the last blog, and we’ve had people ask about what’s happening here at Airquee, so it’s only fair that we tell you the latest. It’s less than a month until the first show of the season kicks off, with the EAS (Euro Attractions Show) and LIW (Leisure Industry Week) happening at the same time, on the 20^th September. It’s certainly been an experience for every team here making sure we can show every customer visiting us in 2 countries can see us at our best. Closely following those shows are the Leisure Supplies Show, our Northern Ireland Open Weekend, and the show at our Cwmbran HQ. We’re very excited to show you some of the new products we have.

In the lead up to the show, we have had a lot of clients visiting our Show Rooms here in Cwmbran, and our stock reserves which we made before our Romanian colleagues had their summer break has been selling like hot cakes whenever it’s inflated. Customers visiting to collect their units or just to witness the quality of the units haven’t been in short supply at all.

The last 2 weeks, we have been lucky enough to have Viktor from our Romania team over to help with honing processes and creating new ones, which will let you see all the great new products we have in store. He has been busy the past few months recording and editing the amazing videos on our social media, and after proving his skill, he will be helping in other departments too. It’s definitely an exciting time here!

Despite how busy we have been with our shows we have made sure that each unit is made to the highest quality, without compromise. It has been a challenging, exciting and rewarding time for us here to achieve it all, and we feel we owe it to all of you to give the best we can.

There will be more to say in the coming weeks so be sure to keep up with Airquee News!

New Products and Signs of Summer!

The past few weeks at Airquee, we haven’t just been busy, we’ve had the chance to make a whole host of different inflatables. These have ranged from our standard A-frame Bouncy Castles, to arches, to giant obstacle courses! It’s been an excellent chance for us to demonstrate our innovation while keeping pace with the incredible demand.

Products not to scale.

We’ve had a constant flow of customers coming through the door, and with almost every person buying something from the showroom, it’s like a revolving door of inflatables and soft play. We have some fantastic units in stock, and there is the e-Range available from Airquee Online, so you can purchase yours today and be fully prepared for the end of May Bank Holiday!

Friday 13^th might be unlucky for some, but it kicked off the start of an excellent weekend, and the first signs of summer!
