If you run an inflatable hire business- especially if you’re new to the industry- the biha can give you and your company a real boost. A great resource to learn and seek advice from the biha itself and others in the industry. The opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and learn from those with the experience is worth its weight in gold- making mambrrship a great investment!

Pay to join group who state members have to follow a code of conduct, in fact as long as they pay their £50 they can pretty much do what they like if it risks lives or not. When people complain about hire companies who don't follow the safety standard, not only is nothing done but the one who informed this owner get banned by him. Wish I could have left no stars as this man is playing with the lives of children by endorsing dangerous hire companies. As his is the only way I can reply to you remarks I would never want to be a biha member as after speaking to over 30 at one of the show's and seeing how you operate and lie regarding how your members follows hse guides and your code of ethics I wouldn't waste my money and would advise if anyone wants to spend £50 take a homeless person out for a meal, you'll get more from it.

Hi Jay, Thank you for your review. However, you have NEVER been a member of the BIHA, so I cannot see how you can give a fair review of all the benefits of membership. I did allow you to come into the BIHA Private Facebook Group. However, very sadly, I received complaints that you were involved in relatively mild "online bullying" of other people within the Group, and so I made the decision to temporarily "block" you from the Group, whilst the complaints against you were being investigated. During the time that you were blocked, you felt the need to write this review. It is not true what you have written. The BIHA takes the safety of users (especially children) on inflatables extremely seriously. I invited you to come back into the Facebook Group to see for yourself all the good that is going on to improve the industry. Unfortunately however, you declined my offer. As mentioned above, because you were NEVER a BIHA member - your review is unfair, and I believe your motive for writing it was purely in response to having been temporarily "blocked" from the BIHA Facebook Group. You are welcome Jay to join the BIHA, but I would hope that you would write a GENUINE review, once you have experienced all the benefits of membership, and see first hand how it can help your inflatable hire business be safer, and more successful.

The BIHA provided lots of useful information when we started in the industry

Hi Suttons Leisure, Thank you very much for your review. Yes, when new members join the BIHA, they do receive a lot of very useful and valuable information on starting, running and growing an inflatable hire business. This info is then supplemented by the regular BIHA Profit Tip of the Week etc. etc.

I am a member of the BIHA with my business and the BIHA has helped our business grow from strength to strength. Having the logo on the website makes potential customers feel secure that their booking will be handled by a business associated with a professional body. Being a member has made our bookings more than triple year on year and can only thank the organisation for its help and support. The BIHA has been more than a logo and more of a community that has allowed other hirers to share tips, tricks and safe hire. I will continue to be a member and I am writing this review in good honest faith.

Dear Mo Manchester, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience as a member of the BIHA.

The fact that our logo on your website gives potential customers a sense of security is exactly what we strive for. We strongly believe in the power of professional bodies and the trust they can instill in customers. We are especially glad to hear that the BIHA has become more than just a logo for you, but rather a supportive community where hirers can share knowledge and promote safe hire practices. Creating a network of like-minded professionals is one of our core goals, and we are delighted that you have found value in it. We sincerely appreciate your honest review and your continued membership. We are committed to providing ongoing help and support to our members, and we are thrilled to have you as a part of our community. Thank you again for your kind words and your trust in the BIHA.

Your code of ethics is discriminatory towards partially sighted children, even children that wear sports glasses, which are approved for rugby, football and various other sports. You need to do a review of your code, as your ignorance looks like a terrible kind of discrimination which should not be tolerated.
Reply from British Inflatable Hirers Alliance (BIHA) 2023.08.23
Dear Joe Scarr, I would like to sincerely apologize for any distress or inconvenience you experienced in relation to our code of ethics. We deeply value all of our customers and strive to maintain an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. I assure you that discrimination in any form is not tolerated within the BIHA, and we take your concerns very seriously. We will thoroughly review our code of ethics to ensure that it is fair and inclusive, taking into account the needs of partially sighted children and those who wear sports glasses. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, as it gives us the opportunity to improve and better serve our customers. We would appreciate the chance to discuss this further and address any specific issues you may have encountered. Please feel free to contact us directly at your convenience.

We would just like to say a huge thank you to the BIHA and Mark Jerram for all of the help and support we have received since we joined the BIHA. Our company we feel has had a 2 or 3 year head start, due to the advice from the BIHA and also all of its members. A lot of the members have many years of experience and they are all very happy to pass on what has been learnt over the years. We have potentially avoided a lot of mistakes that have been made by others and gained some fantastic ideas and tips on ways to move forward with our company. Mark has helped and supported us with our website and with a little bit of work from ourselves plus the advice from Mark we are now ranking on the first page on Google, which us is a massive achievement in such a short time. Thanks again for all of your help :-)

Been a member, wish i hadn't. If you think this is a voice for the industry it is not. You won't get the support you need when up and running. It is an alliance in its weakest form run by 1 person for profit. So much potential to do greater and better things, but continues to deliver outdated, repeated marketing tips and refuses / ignores member requests for support in addressing some of the real issues they have day in and day out. Save your £36-£60 a year membership and joining a few of the Facebook groups for free and get all of the same info and much more for free!
