More about Michael

“Ballooning has been as huge part of my life for the past 35 years. I am a qualified a balloon examiner and instructor. Now, I can also proudly say there are less countries in the world where I have not flown in a balloon than those where I actually have! For me, ballooning is not just work, it is one of my main missions in life. I am also happy to say I have been crowned 6-times national balloon champion and all that time I’ve been a member of the Czech National Team competing at international standard and lastly, until 2015, I worked as sales manager at the Czech balloon manufacturer.”

New Cameron Dealer in Czech Republic

Michael Suchý explains “I am happy to announce with great pleasure, that in January this year, I took over the dealership on behalf of Cameron Balloons Ltd. British manufacturer of hot-air and gas balloons, blimps, inflatable billboards and textile products.
I have unwavering ambition to help and assist balloon pilots and operators in my region to get a deep-understanding and awareness of Cameron Balloons, the world's most respected brand. This brand which others try to follow. I believe in this brand completely, the people who stand behind it, and their products. When I first visited Bristol based, Cameron Balloons in 1989 I saw their mission statement, it’s something that has always stuck in my mind… I work with the Cameron Balloons 'mantra' in my thoughts: "The Customer is always King," and "Excellence is our LOWEST standard". I intend to follow these great service, superb quality principles and look forward to working alongside Cameron Balloons as we serve our clients and customers together.”
