Team Airkix

Motivational presentations

If you’re looking for something a little bit different (as if flying on a 110mph column of air wasn’t enough), why not add to your day with one of our exclusive hosts and really make your experience something you’ll never forget.

Our hosts include World Champions, expert disabled flyers and former Red Devils Army parachutists. They can add value to your event in a variety of ways:

  • Host your visit
    From greeting your group on arrival, to sharing lunch and chatting with you after your flights.
  • Unique presentations
    Give presentations on their unique backgrounds and experiences.
  • Focus on relevant topics
  • Talk on issues such as team work, goals, challenges head-on, being the best etc.
  • Coach you
    Our hosts will fly with and help coach your group in the tunnel
  • Show off!
    Our hosts can demonstrate world class skydiving skills normally reserved for 12,000 feet!

Each of the hosts can offer a variety of presentations and CV’s and a synopsis of each presentation is available. Prices are available on application by email or on 0845 331 6549.

Unlike most speakers who talk to a group, take questions and leave, our hosts make shorter presentations and then work with and as part of your group for the complete visit.

  • Overcoming Adversity
  • Life at 4’6”
  • I had my legs blown off, what’s your excuse
  • 101 things to do with no legs

It can be easy to forget that the challenges we face on a daily basis at work and at home are usually surmountable with a little effort and determination.

No-one embodies these principles more fully than Al and ‘Swifty’, both double amputees and highly accomplished skydivers who lost their limbs in separate incidents in Northern Ireland.

Al has become a full time skydiver and is now British Champion along with his wife Pixie in the 'freestyle' discipline of the sport. He has also been voted British Skydiver of the year in 2010.

You can choose to have both as your hosts or just one, whichever; your day will be a blend of awe, humour and your own tunnel flight challenges.

They’ll share their remarkable experiences with you with a down to earth sangfroid and openness that belies the obstacles they’ve overcome, giving tunnel coaching along the way. We defy you to go home feeling that any problem in the office is insurmountable!

Presentations cover
  • Personal backgrounds – life at 4 foot six
  • Making the best of a bad situation
  • As one door closes…
  • Positive Mental Attitude
  • Overcoming adversity
  • Dealing with challenges
  • Achieving excellence

Former Red Devils

Presentation Titles

  • Be the best
  • When it all goes off

The Red Devils have about the highest profile of any parachute display team in the world of Skydiving. They also had a hugely successful competition team and each and every member was also a serving member in one of the toughest regiment's of the British Army. These guys really live up to the slogan "Be the best"

We've assembled a team of former Red Devil team members who fly and coach in the Airkix facility. Add to that some of their life stories from far flung places in the World and you are sure to come away entertained and having learned a thing or two.

Just let us know how many you'd like to join your team on the day and we'll fix the rest, that's if they are not somewhere else such as Iraq...
