"At last a professional body for the inflatable hire world. Its great to see the BIHA grow into a recognised body for this exciting and underdeveloped industry".

"I found the free reports very interesting"

Shaun Rutherford,

"I am very impressed with the BIHA from the word go, very professional, and something that is badly needed in the industry. In years to come I'm sure that it will be recognised by the public as well as the industry, as representing the more professional hire companies. I particularly enjoyed reading the information in the free reports, and despite being in the business for ten years, I learnt a lot of new things. I particularly liked the idea of how to prevent rain-water from getting inside the inflatable during rain."

Trevor Collins,

"The discount I received on my public liability insurance more than pays for my membership to the BIHA".

"I think that it is great that BIHA members can "bounce" ideas off each other".

"Congratulations on setting up an association for bouncy castle / inflatable operators, its what's been needed for many years. We have been in the business for 12 years and we find the BIHA very useful. I'm sure that new operators will find the association invaluable and particularly the free reports hints and tips, which are really useful. Best of luck with the association, we look forward to many years of membership - well worth the £35 annual subscription fee".

"I think the BIHA is a great idea, it enables me to access hundreds of years of combined business knowledge and also contact other inflatable hirers in a non-competitive way, in what is essentially a lonely business".

Nick Carter,
Birds Bouncy Castle Hire,
Halesworth,
Suffolk

"Being a new business in the bouncy castle/entertainment industry, I found it extremely difficult to find any helpful information concerning insurance, inflatable manufacturers etc. I was often met with a brick wall when I approached what could be seen as rival businesses for help and advice. The BIHA is just what the industry needs for people to realise that by sharininformation and advice between members, it can help us all work together as an industry and become stronger through this, rather than viewing each other as rivals. Since I have become a member of the BIHA, I have received invaluable advice, which has helped me establish my business and become recognised as an accredited member of the inflatable hire industry.

"Bethany Lewis,
AB Entertainments,
Reading,

"We have received your free reports and have read them with interest. We found the report about keeping the castle dry by *********** of great interest, especially as last season was so wet!

We would also like to congratulate you on the work you have done so far, and have found the information available on the web pages also to have been of benefit.

Tony & Chris Chapman,

" I am extremely grateful to the BIHA members who have shared some absolutely brilliant ideas with the BIHA. I particularly like the idea about how to get free crash mats, and how to make an extra £10 per booking - brilliant"

Mark Jerram,

I received the BIHA welcome pack this morning. I am very impressed with the fast and professional way in which the BIHA is run. I have read the free reports and have already acted upon the petrol saving idea".

Dear Mark,
As I am new to the business I found your reports very informative.
They also gave me plenty of marketing ideas to sell my business plan to the bank, they really helped me to understand the pro's and con's of the business.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mark
I received my membership last night to the BIHA and I was really quite surprised to how much effort you have gone to to give your members the mine of information that is available to them - great stuff - not just run of the mill that you can find at a lot of membership sites to other types of businesses - please feel free to use the above as a testimonial.

Hi Mark,
In my opinion that was the best newsletter (No. 24) the BIHA has ever published, I spent a happy half hour with a mug of tea in front of the computer, there seemed to be a decent helping of everything, well done.
Cheers, keep up the good work,

I'm happy to say that more and more of our customers are now joining the BIHA even the new hirers, which should ensure that we minimise the amount of cowboys out there. I will of course continue to recommend BIHA to our customers as I am impressed with the tips and guidance that is offered and I want our customers not only to do it right but also to be successful.

We had our first hire out yesterday and it turns out that it was a BIHA member who had seen us listed on the site and
