Pioneer® Balloon Company celebrates 100 years at Nuremberg International Toy Fair and Spring Fair, NEC, Birmingham.

"Celebrating 100 Years" by Luc Bertrand.

Visitors attending the Nuremberg International Toy Fair in Germany and Spring Fair, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, U.K., would be unable to miss the fact that Pioneer Balloon is celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year! 

Two of our top industry designers, Luc Bertrand, CBA, of wAw Balloons in Vichte, Belgium and Fiona Fisher, CBA, of Worldwide Balloon Decor in Portadown, Ireland, were given the brief to create stand decor "that would show the excitement of this amazing landmark, celebrating 100 years in business. Reflecting the present day modern trends of colourful confetti and the organic look."

"Celebration Cakes" by Fiona Fisher.

Both Luc and Fiona did an incredible job at each of the shows,  creating stand-out decor  everyone is talking about!

Visitors to these shows also had the opportunity to see demonstrations and received top tips from Luc Bertrand, Keith Stirman, CBA, Dominic Cassidy, CBA, and Sue Bowler. With a huge "Thumbs Up" from Luc, Keith, and Dom. I have no idea what I was saying, but it looks like it was about that long!

Celebrating 100 years in business is no mean feat, and the entire Pioneer Team is excited about the future, with new ideas and opportunities.  Owners Ted A. and Betty Vlamis also want us to remember and reflect upon the past and honour those who successfully faced challenges and triumphed. 

Ted A. and Betty Vlamis were presented Champagne and a cake by the 

Spring Fair management.
