Looking Back to 1999: The Beginning of Airmax Inflatables

That takes it all the way back to day one! Starting up in 1999 with a car trailer and credit Union loan allowed us to lay the foundation for what would become 27 years of experience in the inflatable hire and event industry. From delivering those very first bouncy castles to building a brand trusted all across the region, it’s been a massive journey of growth, resilience, and learning how to "fail forward" to achieve real success.

From those early days in 1999 to the major operations running out of Ballyhale today, the commitment to quality and entertainment has never wavered.
27 Years of Milestones

1999: The journey begins, introducing premium inflatable entertainment to families and corporate events.

Growth & Evolution: Expanding from standard bouncy castles into bespoke designs, obstacle courses, and major event management.

Today: Standing strong with nearly three decades of industry expertise, continuously innovating with new product ranges and leading the way for safety and community standards.

It’s an incredible milestone to look back on—nearly three decades of bringing fun, energy, and unforgettable memories to countless events.

Here’s to the legacy built since '99 and everything still to come!

Outside Tom Duffy’s big top, cold wind lashes the canvas while generators hum. The circus has survived famine, war, recession and pandemics, but it’s not easy.

Inside, David Duffy (65) looks exhausted. Sitting beneath a portrait of his late father, the heir to Ireland’s 250-year-old circus dynasty is carrying the weight of a promise made before his father died.

Founded in 1775 by Dublin shoemaker Patrick James Duffy, Duffy’s Circus is one of Ireland’s longest-running entertainment traditions, travelling the country for generations and now staging more than 300 shows every year.

When Tom Duffy died in 2022 aged 92, his son promised the circus would survive. The name, stitched into Irish life for centuries, would not disappear on his watch.

With no siblings, he feels “a huge responsibility” to carry on the family tradition. But David fears the curtain could come down before the end of this season.

“We’ll be lucky to make it to October,” he says. “But I can’t do that to Daddy.”

The scale of the operation is enormous. Artist fees alone exceeded €551,000 in 2025, while wages totalled more than €171,000.

Ground rents approached €86,000, motor expenses passed €111,000 and insurance costs exceeded €61,000.

Generator fuel came to almost €60,000, while Facebook advertising neared €66,000. It now costs around €3,000 every week just to fuel their 22 lorries.

“It’s impossible,” David says. “People see the lights and the music, but they don’t see what it costs to keep this on the road.”
