A fairly quiet year this year, just a 4m dia sphere for the Marine and Sea Cadets, and a 2m sphere for the Worshipful Insurers.

For the 3rd year in a row we have installed these 1.5m dia battery lighted LED spheres at the Awards ceremony.

Once again the impressive Christmas display at Carnaby Street in London is in place. Suspended inflatables take centre stage above the street amongst LED light displays. After a couple of years break, Imagine has repeated inflatables previously created and installed in 2009!

Pudsey Bear had a bit of a holiday in 2020 and 2021 (wonder why?!) but this year he has pride of place outside BBC Wales in Cardiff. We needed to get him up before BBC staff arrived so the lads were on site at 4am this morning – yawn- and he will stay there till midnight tonight.

On 15th November the world population will (apparently) hit 8 billion. Population Matters is a campaign group that has campaigned for population control as part of a wider push to sustainability and protection of the environment.

2 new inflatable vehicles went out this month – the Renault Kangoo for Easy Mile in France, and the Toyota Tacoma for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the USA.

BBC Wales approached us to help with their World Cup promotional Tour in which Wales plays a big part. Originally they were going to make bucket hats out of fibreglass to put at key venues all over Wales, but of course the inflatable option is a much cheaper, quicker and portable idea! One hat and plinth will be touring round Wales through November and potentially at the England v Wales clash at the end of November. They are sealed units inflated with a handheld battery fan so power at open pitc....

Brewers opened a new store today in Shrewsbury, and their blimp will be flying all day to welcome new customers.Industrial units like this are ideal for blimps as they tend to have roller shutter doors at the rear for storage indoors at night, and large forecourts. They are also often near busy through-roads so catch a lot of passing traffic.

We had to build a bespoke walling design for a new building that Moncler has taken over at The Strand in London.The building was a shell so we helped the brand cover a zone area in a bespoke wall with a hinged door and runway access for the fashion show.We then also built another bespoke curved zone that had Iphone display inserts in the walls to allow members of the invited public to use as part of the experience.A successful install to a tight deadline enabled by our Event Crew doing an initia....

One of our valued clients who has had a blimp already at their Loanhead plant in Edinburgh, Stewart Brewing approached us for a branded rugby goalpost to be used in pub promotions linked to stadium matches in the Edinburgh area through October and November."Thanks for a fantastic service and a great quality product. The goalpost looked great outside one of the busier pubs on route to the rugby stadium on Saturday. It will be used for the remainder of the rugby matches throughout November".
