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!

The Team
Gemma is the Balloon Boss Lady and has worked for Talking Balloons and Company Partners since 2006. She oversees the general running of the business whilst being a jack of all trades, definitely not afraid to get her hands dirty! There is not a thing Gemma doesn’t know about Balloons!
Beth is our Second in Command and has worked at Talking Balloons since 2018, originally beginning her journey with balloons getting to know the trade side of the business and has since taken a more senior role within the retail environment. You can find Beth usually behind the Social Media accounts, answering the phone and responding to emails of all natures (or making Gemma's 4pm brew of the day!)
Abbey joined us in November 2020 as our Balloon Artist. Abbey studied fashion and design at University, so brings with her creativity, eye for detail and fresh ideas for design. Keep an eye out for our upcoming Instagram decorators page and regular updates to our gallery where you can find Abbey's creations!
