Inflation on the Horizon

Danco are pleased to announce that we will be the official supplier for marquee equipment at this year’s Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.
The Fiesta is a world-class hot air ballooning festival and one of the UK's top five outdoor events.
Having discovered the hard way how to make a hot air balloon, Fiesta Co-Founder Don Cameron thought it seemed a good idea to build a few more balloons and for a while did so on a hobby basis with demand slowly expanding. By 1970, however, Don Cameron took the rash step of resigning from his "real" job and founded Cameron Balloons Ltd.
The early days of ballooning were great fun; there was always something new to be done - flights over the Sahara Desert, a flight over the Alps etc. These succeeded, but Don's own attempt to make the first balloon flight over the Atlantic in 1978 ended in the sea about 100 miles from France. It was this adventure that prompted his fellow members of the Bristol Junior Chamber to ask him to give a talk about his exploits one evening and, in the pub afterwards, the idea of the Fiesta was born.
The following year, on the weekend of the 7th-9th September 1979, a small gathering of like-minded balloonists came together to celebrate the first ever Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Organised by the Bristol Junior Chamber of Commerce and Shipping, the Fiesta was held at the popular ballooning location, Ashton Court. Since then the event has attracted visitors from all corners of the globe who flock to the Estate for the four day extravaganza.
Estimated to boost the local economy to the tune of £10 million each year, it is run by a not-for-profit organisation.
Danco are delighted to be working at this event and helping the local economy. Danco have also joining the Balloon Fiesta 100 Club a group of 100 sponsors who are supporting the festival showing our commitment to securing the future of events in the south west and the UK.
Weather permitting, over 100 balloons per day in all shapes and sizes take to the air over the four days of the fiesta, this year will also see the return of the Red Arrows after dazzling the crowd at last years event.
