Where it began..
Talking Balloons began with our parent company, Greenbrook Automations, who are an internationally recognised leader in the manufacture of screen printing and latex dipping machinery. The company has a well-earned reputation throughout the industry for expertise in dipping plant and ancillary equipment.
In 1987, an order was placed for a high end balloon printing machine that was never collected. So in a triumph of turning adversity into success, Talking Balloons was born.

Where we are now..
Over the years we have worked alongside Greenbrook Automations building up a successful name in wholesale/ trade printing and bulk plain balloon and accessory supply. The time came in December 2019 to expand and evolve to include a larger retail and external decoration presence ensuring we moved with the times within the balloon industry. We moved to our own retail premises on The Green, Hasland.
Talking Balloons aim is simple, to provide competitively priced, high quality balloons and event decorations. We have one the largest balloon selections in Chesterfield which continues to grow!
