Balloon Biography
Colin first worked with balloons in 1993, but it was not until 1994 when Colin attended the first EBS – European Balloon Symposium in Amsterdam, that he realised the potential that balloon decorating held. In 1999, Colin started competing and has collected a number of awards over the past few years at both the International Party & Halloween Show and IBAC.

In 2001, Colin won the prestigious title of Decorator of the Year, and early this year took 2nd place in the delivery category at IBAC. Colin’s meticulous attention to detail makes him a great instructor, sharing his knowledge with delegates across the UK and Europe.

I feel passionately that the balloon industry is ready to take off in the very near future, which is the main reason I compete and teach. I am always trying to learn from other artists whilst also trying to create new techniques myself, I believe that only through top class instruction will the industry be able to take the opportunities that will be presented in the coming years.
