Snow, Phil is free and we're preparing for Christmas!

It’s all go at our amazing factories in Romania as the orders are still flooding in and the Christmas break is literally just one month away! Phew! What a fantastic year it has been.

Phil has returned to the UK after three weeks in Romania – he has been very busy working with all of our Team improving processes and assisting with the building of a bespoke database and production system.

The factories now have super-fast Broadband, Phil being a geek says it is 400mbps and a whopping 1000 mbps between the factories which is faster than Phil’s average running speed!

One day during his trip the factories were without power as this can happen during the Winter months and then on another day there was a burst water main that meant there was no water in the building and Phil was reminded of his days as a Boy Scout… Too much information –  but you can figure it out!

SNOW has fallen  Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! Definitely looking to be a WHITE Christmas over there!  

(Brrr- we're only missing Santa in Romania!)

Wayne, one of our Super Sales Executives has been using up his Annual Leave and went off to Prague for a few days – He showed us some of the sights via his Facebook page however they are a bit ‘blurry’ unsure if he has enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol or he has the shakes from being  ‘old’ or withdrawing from alcohol….

(Wayne's Adventures in Prague!)

Back in Cwmbran, Kerry was in the office this week livening things up by changing the Radio channel back to Radio X; rather loudly too.  Kerry and Sol escaped for an ‘executive lunch’ – oooerrrr Ladies What Lunch…

Ollie is in the festive spirit and absolutely chomping at the bit to put the office decorations up including the Christmas Tree but he just cannot convince the Humbugs!!! 

(We're sooo ready for the Christmas break!) 

Jade’s engagement ring is still blinding everyone with its sparkle and as Josh is on holiday she has been juggling wedding planning with holding the fort on the busy Repairs and Testing desk!  Well done Jade!!! 

IAPPA, Phil STUCK in Romania, and GREAT SALES!

Airquee has broken all sales records again this week….!!!! Congratulations to all members of our incredible Sales Team plus all those unsung heroes behind the scenes that all help us do great things including marketing, web designers, all the boys in repairs and testing, our terrific 3D CADS designers in Cwmbran Rob and Ryan, plus the rest of our talented team in Romania. Our amazing factories have surpassed all records and we would publically like to thank everyone including Adrian, Mariane, Erika and every member of their team of wonderful people who create the designs, print, cut, sew or weld them, test them, pack them and transport the Airquee inflatables we all love.

Our leader is in Florida at IAPPA, probably by the pool with a Pina Colada. We hear its 28C and cloudless skies—poor thing!! What a chore!?

Phil H is still in Romania, (has he moved there permanently?) working his magic on our brand new Accounting and Production system, plus tweaking (tech speak for –fiddling with..) our website to give real time information about stock and prices.. More info to follow – stick around… 

(Mark enjoying IAPPA)

The radio is now playing Christmas songs every day and we are all getting in the party mood. There was even talk this week from Claire, our accountant of putting up the office Christmas Tree…steady on Claire, it’s only November!!  Our very sad looking Christmas Tree has seen better days- its got to be 10 years old… Can we have a new one with shiny new balls please?????

The Northern Irish Airquee Show was the best ever with so many visitors and so many orders. Hurrah!! Best year ever!!

Mark, Phil, Wayne and our lovely staff from Romania, Erika and Tilda were there, meeting and greeting our fabulous Northern Irish customers and as it was the 10^th Anniversary in Ireland we didn’t half put on a good spread of cakes and sandwiches supplied by ‘Pat the Baker’- a local baker- very tasty I must say! This year as it was a special anniversary we even had beer and wine, many cups of tea, coffee and banter supplied by Airquee. It was lovely to meet our many clients and have a good ‘craic’ as they say! This week has been busy putting the many orders into Production ready for next season. 

(Northern Ireland Show)

The Shows continue and this coming weekend, Phil and Julia from our Factory are off to Dublin for the Republic of Ireland Airquee Show. Good luck!! We expect to have a bumper show as always.  Bring us back some shamrocks for good luck!

Solene has been very busy with loads of German orders this week. Our Team effort at the EAS in Berlin in September is paying dividends.!! Keep up the good work. Carole, the Airquee Queen of the Leisure Centres has had a stack of orders ready for next year too. ‘Och Aye The Nooo Jimmy!!’

Airquee ON TOUR, Visitors and more shows!!

What a week we have had. It’s been non-stop Show to Show.

The big event was the arrival of our Team from Romania for a whole week!  Erika, Tilda and Julia arrived hot foot from Bristol Airport, where they were whisked to Birmingham for the Leisure Supplies Show last weekend. Mark, Phil H, Wayne , Kerry and Ollie plus our Romanian colleagues met old and new customers it was a great event and a HUGE thank you to all of the visitors to our Airquee stand and THANK YOU for the orders for next season.  We are chuffed that you were all really pleased with our selection; such a shame we couldn’t bring more… We were pleased to introduce our brand new products that have been under wraps for months. We do have a few more up our sleeve but you will need to come to INPAS 2018 to see those as we literally had no more room for display.  Carole and Sol were managing the Cwmbran phones while the rest of us were at the Show. Thanks ladies you did a fantastic job!Erika and Tilda have got used to a Full English breakfast since they have been here – secretly Erika loves Porridge and Tilda loves a nice Eton Mess dessert.

Julia returned home to Romania on Monday as she had family commitments but she will be back in 2 weeks to assist Phil H at the Republic of Ireland Show near Dublin on the 21^st and 22^nd October.  Josh and Jade in our Repairs and Testing team have been flat out booking in annual inspections both PIPA and Health and Safety.
