Arches, Drops & Races
Here’s another car arch but this time the arch was going on a grass area outside the showroom… in the rain for 3 days. I moved the pins from the centre of the base plates to the corners so they could drive a car over both plates. Here’s the arch after 3 days in wind […]
Following on from our first Disney installation at HMV we have just completed 4 retail store decorations at Merry Hill, The Bullring, Coventry & Nuneaton. This time the promotion was 2 DVDs for £12 which is a great deal for some of my favourite films. The promotion lasts 6 weeks so we’re returning to the […]
This year Müller sponsored the Anniversary Games at the Olympic stadium. We worked with UK Athletics last year to brand their events in Red, White & Blue but with Müller sponsoring the British Championships and Anniversary Games the colour scheme was changed to Red & White. We installed an arch within the stadium, over the VIP entrance and over the Müller hospitality marquee. […]
We installed 4 of these Rainbow Balloon Arches on 19th July. 3 Were located in London and 1 in Staffordshire. The access was after 5pm and they needed to last 3 days. It’s nice to have a generous space with a really high ceiling which we know is not always possible. Once we’ve travelled & […]
4.30am – 20 Arches Complete. This years EID celebration required 20 balloon arches to decorate Small Heath Park in Birmingham. I worked on this event in 2014 but this years task required more planning because of the quantity of balloons and last minute access. With Eid nobody knows the exact event date until the very […]
Is there a helium shortage as a huge pocket of helium is found in Tanzania: Increased prices usually mean lower supply, but that’s not true for this gas. “There is actually so much helium that’s flooding the market that it’s not in short supply at all,” Burton says. And as for the future, “I’ve seen a […]
This sounds like a challenge, build 43 arches across the UK in 1 day. It seemed daunting when faced with a spreadsheet listing addresses and postcodes. Looking at a list it’s difficult to digest how close each location is, so I posted them onto a Google map which made the whole thing visually easier to see. […]
For a 6 week promotion in 2 HMV stores Disney required 2 arches to be placed over their “Buy One Get One Free” retail displays. As the duration of 6 weeks was a long time for latex balloons we replaced them at 2 week intervals. The 2 stores were based in Milton Keynes & Reading […]
We’ve been installing arches for Selco at various of their store openings. These are a 1 day promotion so we put the arch in at 6am and return at 6pm to take it down. This included 2 arches in Southampton & Weybridge on the 30th November when storm Clodagh hit the UK. The arches just […]
As on previous years Brighton was the location for the final Colour Run of 2015. We were in luck with the weather although we have installed helium arches here on very windy days. 30th August – Colour Run Belfast To save risk of a flight delay we traveled over to Belfast on Friday afternoon […]
The short answer to this question is 1 day….. but you might get lucky depending on your weather conditions. It seems the sun is more damaging than the rain but a combination of both is a killer. As I’ve used these arch frames more and more Ive started to push my luck with how long […]
Installation of 5 balloon arches in Tesco Extra stores located in Blackpool, Watford, Woolwich, Camberley and Shoreham. Each promotion installed within the cosmetics area of each Tesco. We top printed the Gold balloons and air filled attaching to a flexible carbon frame. The event will last 2 weeks which is fine for an indoor air […]
