OUR JOURNEY SO FAR
The Pumped story starts with our MD, Ellie Mills. London-based Event Producer extraordinaire, Ellie has spent the last decade building events for clients across the globe.
During that time, Ellie found herself repeatedly frustrated by the constraints of traditional build materials. In particular, the extortionate cost, transportation and storage, the amount of install labour required, and most importantly, the huge amount of waste generated.
Ellie was determined to find a sustainable and cost-effective alternative and that search led her to the Pumped Factory (formerly Airspace), located in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. Since 1993, the factory has been manufacturing custom-made inflatables to the highest artistic and technical standards.
With Ellie now at the helm, Pumped have perfected the art of inflatable sculpturing, and have taken the world of bespoke inflatables to new heights, both literally and figuratively.
Inflatable sets and props do it all: minimise waste and carbon footprint, lower costs across the board and allows clients to break free from traditional design constraints, to create stunning structures that surpass expectation.
Our magnificent structures meet international standards, and have provided striking units at events, festivals and experiential marking activations from London to Ghana.
