At both shows, as well as our popular inflatable games and high quality products we will also be exclusively unveiling our NEW range of products.

 Visit Airquee at INPAS or our Ireland Show to touch, see and experience the original Disco Dome that has become so popular in 2014 and 2015.  We are launching an even better model for you to add to your fleet.

Having taken Facebook by storm at the beginning of the year, there has never been a better time to invest in an inflatable Air Pub! Airquee designed and manufactured  the very first one in 2003, so come and speak to the air pub and air building experts! We will have an inflatable pub at our Ireland Show!
Airquee are also turning UK bouncy castle sales on its head with a unique sales experience of a brand new range available to everyone! Keep an eye out for our NEW range!

Bring on February...

It's the first blog entry of 2015! This is very exciting for everyone involved. Namely me. 

And it's business as usual! We've been busy preparing for INPAS on the 1st and 2nd February, getting ready to unveil our latest creations! Make sure you come along to be the first to see our new range!

And the weekend after we have our Ireland Open Weekend 7th & 8th February! It's all go go go this January!

As we mentioned on Facebook, our lovely receptionist Rita sadly had to leave us just before Christmas. We wish her and her family all the best. However we were very fortunate in that our office temp Alex has agreed to step into the role and he is now learning the ropes of our repairs department!

Keep an eye on our social media and website for clues and hints about our latest adventure! Happy New Year everyone!

A Very Merry Airquee Christmas!

We're having quite a relaxing Friday so far in the office. All the biscuits and sweets that were given to us at the start of the week have been demolished in a matter of days - thankfully Rita is a kind soul and put some on the desks of those who weren't in the office!


In contrast it's been incredibly busy in the factory and the warehouse - but when are they not busy?! The factory will be taking a well-earnt break from today until the 6th January.


The warehouse has been flat out with dispatch and repairs, making sure that everyone gets their inflatables before the Christmas shutdown. Remember, the last day we can send anything out to the UK mainland in Monday, for delivery Tuesday!


The last lorry from the factory was an articulated lorry filled to the brim!

Airquee HQ is open until 4.30pm Tuesday 23rd, then we're all off for Christmas! The office re-opens at 8am on Monday 5th January but the workaholics in the company will still be checking their emails over the break.

"Chaaaaange places!"

This week has marked a change. Rita, our lovely Receptionist and Repairs Admin, has now completed her training period and is in sole charge of the repairs and inspection admin! The hand over went very smoothly and the Repairs team is working efficiently as ever!


This means that Helen is back to full time Marketing and admin! And it's just as well - we have big things coming up in the New Year! Stay tuned for more information...

We've got that Friday feeling!

We've had a WONDERFUL TIME at the Farm Innovations Show! Monty's been busy networking away, as has Kerry, Mark, Phil and Phil H! Thank you to everyone that came along to see us!

I think everyone will be having a well earned rest....after they've packed away and driven back from London...Monty's excused though - bad back.

Ain't no rest for the wicked....

I don't even know where this week has gone. It went from a full office (Mark was relegated to the meeting room as there were no desks available!) to only 4 of us in the office today! Kerry, Carole, Phil H and Mark are working from home!


In the office, there's Harrison, our CAD Apprentice, having a party for one in the design office, Krzyzstof in the warehouse and Rita and I (Helen) manning the main office (although Carole is STILL the quickest to answer the phone! She would have been an amazing Wild West gunslinger...). As I said on Facebook earlier (if you haven't already, like us!), we have muffins to keep us going through today, while we're feeling deserted! Although, if we were really in the desert, I expect a scene like below would unfold. Harrison has moments of being accident prone. Bless him.
The First Aider is the least sympathetic employee.
So. I've been told this is the "quiet season" for the inflatable world - there is no evidence of that here at Airquee! Production is full to the brim and everyone's working harder than ever to make sure everyone gets their units before Christmas! The factory office is going non stop - so why I thought Viorel would have time to be dancing I don't know...


If you are looking to buy a bouncy castle before Christmas, do remember that we have a limited number of Monty and Mabel penguins to give away, so get your order in quick!

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas!

What an energetic week it has been in the office this week - with the Christmas Countdown underway it seems that Airquee don’t get any rest! Our Production Department is working to the limit so that we meet all the deadlines! Back at base at Bristol, the energy is still here as Kerry has been telling us all about her evening exercise classes with Shaun T of Insanity fame – the mind does boggle but at least it means we get the motivation by way of her excessively high spirits.  Carole is always beavering away quietly unless her pc starts playing up and she teaches us some new vocabulary from her native Highlands. 

All hands were to the pump as we mailed our customers to advise them to get their orders confirmed before 4pm on Friday the 28th November 2014 as all offer prices will cease and we have had a huge response which is great to know the system works. What did we do before email? 

Airquee have a surprise up our sleeve for the New Year which has meant Phil H has been working like a Special Agent away from the office. We will be fit to burst when the launch date does arrive, don’t ask because we can’t divulge just make sure you are at INPAS 2015 for the unveiling.

Work hard, party hard is our motto at this time of the year so Christmas party planning has been high on our agenda too - with such a marvellous team here at Airquee we have to spoil them! 


I am sure you are all missing our animated characters however they take time and it appears that time is rather thin on the ground at Bristol however they will return, keep tuning in!
