A Sweet Surprise With The Cresta Court Hotel
September 24, 2015Celebrating 75 Years With Airbus UK

While we don’t like to brag, we’ve often been told that our ice-cream leaves people feeling like they’re on cloud nine. So, when aircraft manufacturers Airbus UK were looking for someone to provide a spot of ice cold refreshment during a recent event, we were naturally their first choice!
Airbus UK were celebrating the 75th anniversary of their Broughton plant, in Wales. To commemorate the enormous milestone, they had organised a family fun day for members of staff, as well as friends and loved ones. The Broughton plant employs more than 6,000 people, and each of them received five tickets to the festivities. All in all, there were over 30,000 people present on the day.
The event lasted from 9am until 5pm, and featured many spectacular attractions. In addition to tours of the plant, guests were treated to a series of thrilling stunt performances and a brilliant fare, complete with bouncy castle. The plant’s rich history was honoured too, thanks to the spitfires on display. There were also several vintage cars on site, with the Porsches and Ferraris proving to be the most popular models by far!
From the moment we arrived on location, it was clear that Airbus UK wanted to create a real sense of excitement for the day. Since we have the finest array of cool confections in the UK, the Austin’s Ices team were definitely up to the challenge. Two of our ice-cream vans were hired for the event, so nobody had to wait too long for their favourite treat. As usual, our Mr Whippy ice-cream was a massive hit with everybody, and the 99 cones kept on selling even when the skies clouded over towards the middle of the afternoon.
This was our first time working with Airbus UK, and the day was such a huge success that we couldn’t be happier. More importantly, from the smiles we saw on the faces of our delighted customers, it’s pretty safe to say that everybody else had just as much fun as we did!
