DONALD DUCK, Road Runner, Popeye and The Flash are some of the colourful characters being brought to life by two enterprising balloonists.

After entertaining children for the past eight years with their overblown talents, Gareth Le Page and Mark Scott now have their sights set on the corporate market.

‘A financial services company booked us to do their Christmas dinner and it went really well,’ said Mr Le Page. ‘Adults try to say it’s just for kids, but deep down they absolutely love it. It’s time they start admitting to it and join in the fun.’

The pair have already worked at a number of prestigious events including the Home & Lifestyle Show and are booked in for Guernsey Live.
