Today we’re talking bouncy castles and bouncy dartboards and bouncy slides, assault courses, penalty shoot outs, disco domes you name it.

All available to hire from www.jumpingjacksbouncycastles.co.uk along with soft play kits, ball ponds, candy floss makers, sumo suits, a burger van and lots more.

This is the business run by husband and wife team Robert and Emma. Shortly after having twins, the two seized an opportunity to buy Jumping Jacks from a contact of Roberts who was looking to sell. This was not an insignificant decision and it meant having to sell their family home and move in with Emma’s parents, with two one year olds in tow, to fund the purchase.

At the time the business came with one van, 50 inflatables and 3 freelance staff. Within two years they now have 4 vans over 100 inflatables, over 10 delivery and event staff to call upon.. as well as many family members including Sam, Robert’s sister who joins Emma today.

They have also started their own events too so as well as providing hire to school fetes, birthday parties and sporting events, they put on an bouncy castle extravanga where children can come and spend a few hours and try out over 15 of their inflatables. The next one is being held on the 16th December at the Kent Country cricket Ground in Beckenham and I can recommend as great entertainment for children of any age!

Emma and Sam lift the lid on what it’s like running an events business.. from the hard work at weekends to the fun bits... let’s have a listen.
