Our Story

Bubblegum Balloons started in 2013 in a family home, when sisters Laura and Sally, and their best friend Meg, turned a shared love of balloons into something bigger. What began as a small idea grew into one of the industry's leading balloon brands trusted by celebrities, royalty, and over 120 of the UK's top venues, from Claridge's to The Dorchester.

After more than a decade of building that business from the ground up, the three of us launched Bubblegum Direct, bringing wholesale balloons and training to the wider industry because we believe the skills and knowledge we've built shouldn't stay behind closed doors.

Now, with the Bubblegum Training Academy, we're going further. This is everything we've learned in over 13 years the installs, the systems, the business side nobody talks about turned into proper, structured training. Taught by us, in person, at Bubblegum HQ and beyond.

We're not theorists. We're still out there every week, installing for the world's biggest brands and most special occasions. When you train with us, you're learning exactly what we do not a watered-down version of it.

Whether you're just starting out or ready to turn your passion into a real business, we're here to help you get there.
