International Confex 2013

Inflatable mobile laser tag hireTrade Show Attraction at Excel, London

It is almost unbelievable how quickly time is passing by and International Confex has closed its doors for another year. We attended International Confex 2013 and had a great show, with lots of interesting visitors to our stand which you will hear all about later on!

This year we decided to make our stand interactive and with only a limited amount of space available we decided to use one of our great indoor activities, the Batak Reaction Game. We wanted to offer all our visitors the chance to experience and play the reaction game and challenge their reactions to see what score they could achieve while experiencing one of the great products we provide for hire.

The Batak reaction game is a perfect for trade stand attraction and also perfect for exhibitions as it gets visitors interacting with your stand and really gets you noticed, which is why we use the Batak reaction game on our own trade stands. Batak can be branded with a great background to promote your product or service so not only is it perfect for visitor interaction it is perfect for getting your message across. As you can see from the photos, the branding on the Batak really stands out.

We had a large number of visitors to our stand and it was absolutely lovely speaking to everyone who stopped by. Our visitors were interested in a variety of events from family fun days, corporate entertainment to team building and away days. We are very excited that our Batak reaction game was a great crowd puller for our stand and we saw some great scores too! Among our visitors were some familiar faces that you may recognise and of course they could not resist trying their hand at the Batak!

Intertational Confex 2013 trade stand attractionsMr T and Austin Powers dropped by our stand and looked very intrigued by the reaction game and they could not resist having a go. Groovy Baby!! We even had the almighty Storm Troopers come to visit and what a buzz this created! I must admit I have never seen a Storm Trooper playing Batak before but there is always a first time for everything! You would think they have lightening reactions but it seems like they don’t! So on a final note, if you every have a run in with a Storm Trooper, get him to play Batak and I am sure you will win!

If you are intersed in interested in finding out more about our Batak reaction game or any other activities, please contact us and we will be able to provide you with a quote.

Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday

Theo Paphitis winners of Small Business Sunday SBS award

SBS Winners Event – 30/03/12

March 2012 was an incredible month for the owners of Xtreme Vortex who not only won the TIPE Operator of the Year award, but were also recognised by Dragons Den star Theo Paphitis as one of his Small Business Sunday (#SBS) winners. It was a real honour to be picked by Theo back in May 2011, but it was such an amazing opportunity to meet Theo in person, along with other SBS winners at the first event of its kind.

Small Business Sunday, shortened to the hashtag #SBS on Twitter, was created by Theo Paphitis in October 2010. Theo is best known for his star role in TV’s Dragons Den. He is the chairman of Ryman Stationary plus Boux Avenue and joint owner of Red Letter Days.

Theo Paphitis, along with the support of Rymans the Stationers hosted the event at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham for all SBS winners. This was a fantastic opportunity to meet other SBS winners along with an inspirational talk from Theo and Kypros Kyprianou, the Chief Exec of Ryman. Many people recognise Theo from his time on Dragons Den, but the multi-million pound dragon has built up his empire of businesses from scratch. Theo is truly inspirational and uses his own personal time to support and help small businesses through SBS. He has a genuine passion for helping small businesses and he still clearly remembers that point when you are trying to grow a business, working long hours, grafting hard and wondering will it all pay off?

SBS winners with Theo Paphitis Maybach car

Xtreme Vortex are so proud of this opportunity and it has only fuelled our enthusiasm for providing the best activities and service to the events industry. Following the event, a few sleepless nights have occurred where the brains of owners Andy and Donna were fuelled with inspiration and motivation for exciting new projects for Xtreme Vortex. Xtreme Vortex cannot thank Theo Paphitis and his team enough for such an amazing event!

Press Coverage

We were so excited about meeting Theo Paphitis we released press releases to various papers and magazines. We have appeared in the Bexley Times and most recently in the Newsshopper. Check out the Newsshopper website for coverage of this story.

International Confex 2012

International Confex Show 2012 at Excel, London

March 2012 has been a very busy month so far. We attended International Confex and International Outdoor Event Expo (IOEX) at London’s Excel for three days. This was a fun packed three days for us to meet so many people in the event industry. Attending International Confex 2012 gave us the opportunity to introduce people to our new activities which we have introduced for 2012 such as our Under Pressure Game and Giant Scalextric Racing Track. It was a great opportunity to talk to our current clients and also meet new clients to discuss their requirements for their events and answer any questions they had. The response from International Confex has certainly kept us busy over the last couple of weeks!

We would like to thank Andi B Illustration for all of the artwork designs for our trade show which certainly drew in the crowds!

Event Production Show 2012

Event Production Show 2012 at Olympia London

Back in February 2012 Xtreme Vortex attended The Event Production Show at London Olympia. You may be wondering why it has taken so long to write this entry about the show considering it was back in February but the simple reason is we have been so busy since! Attending the Event Production show gave us the opportunity to meet new and existing clients for an informal chat about their activity needs and requirements. It was a great opportunity to be able to showcase the wonderful activities we have available to hire. We also met The Stig from BBC’s Top Gear at the Event Production Show who was also very interested in our activities, he even stopped to take the time to read our brochure! As you can see The Stig was very interested in the activities we have to offer, maybe we will be working with him in the future?

We would like to thank Andi B Illustration for all of the artwork designs for our trade show which certainly drew in the crowds!
