TIPE is a subscription
service from the
Inflated News
team that offers timely, accurate news and information to those
involved in the bouncy
castle hire industry.
TIPE is NOT a
Trade Association
and should not be
considered such
Peter ran a successful bouncy castle hire operation for almost twenty years and was a founder member of the BIHA and the NAIH. He served on the NAIH committee for two years but resigned his post when he purchased Inflated News.
Following his purchase of Inflated News he was asked to sit on the PIPA committee and he agreed on the understanding that he would remain independent and therefore be able to ask any questions on behalf of any sector of the inflatable play industry.
As the magazine circulation increased it was obvious that there was a need to get breaking news to the masses as quickly as possible. The web site has become an integral part of the magazine and continues to be developed.
There are many plans for the future.
Inflated News was purchased by Peter Grand in December 2004 and was re launched in March 2005.
At the time of purchase the magazine had not been seen for over twelve months and at that point had a circulation of around 800. The first issue in March 2005 had a circulation of just under 3000 and the latest edition will be circulated to just under 5000.
The magazine has gone from strength to strength and is well received by all sectors from within the inflatable play industry. Inflated News is also circulated to all Local Authorities and a number of venues and bookers.
On the 1st May 2007 we introduced The Inflatable Play Enterprise (TIPE) and this subscription service replaced our BIPAS service. The old information service was closed down and all existing and new information produced by the Inflated News team is now only available to TIPE subcribers.
The facility of the web site allows us to bring breaking news instantly to the masses. Keep up to date with all developments by visiting the site regularly.
