George Oustayiannis commented.
“We have launched this initiative as part of our ongoing concerted efforts to help the industry recover and grow, particularly in light of the changes during the last twelve months. At NABAS we are exceptionally proud of the versatility and resilience of our members, and want to help them connect with recognised suppliers, for better business and strong relationships. We also want to give even more credibility to the standards and best practices employed by our members, both as consumer products and business to business offerings.”

The Recognised Supplier programme is open not just to balloon suppliers, but other party related services who NABAS also welcomes to its membership. These include face painting, event accessories, inflators and balloon gas suppliers. The association acts as the voice of the balloon and party industry, providing a comprehensive source of information, and education for all industry concerns. Key objectives include supporting quality training, promoting good environmental practices for balloon releases and keeping members up to date with industry developments and trends.
