By the beginning of 2016, they owned 2 new bouncy castles, and over the next few months, they added an inflatable slide, soft play and ball pool to their inflatable roster. In 2017 they purchased an additional 24 inflatables, including slides, fun runs, assault courses, and of course, more bouncy castles.
During this time, Colin and Molly continued their sound and visual work at festivals – but there was no stopping the growth of the inflatables! In 2018 they expanded the business further, offering lighting and stage hire and updating their original audiovisual stock. It was around this time they rebranded to officially become Live 9 Events, a Corporate Entertainment Service that would specialise in quality event equipment available for hire throughout the East Midlands.
Since then, we’ve supplied all kinds of equipment and entertainment for the likes of Capital One, Vision Express, The Jockey Club, Rolex, The British Army, Speedo, The University of Derby, and many more. We can only wait to see what the next few years will bring, and we hope you’ll join us on this exciting journey of unforgettable events!
As of 2023, the company has expanded its range of inflatables to include Action Inflatables such as life-size Hungry Hippos, Climbing Walls and other products like Trampoline Trailers all the way to Interactive Games and Promotional Event Games. Fun Days are our favourite thing and we love it when our growing team can bring the FUN to your event! If you are booking a fun day we highly recommend our 130ft Inflatable Assault Course Hire!
