As the two youngest of the team, they sure put in a hard days work. Dylan and little sister Abigail have been in the industry before they could walk. You will often see them out and about in the Festival Hire trucks overseeing the staff (aka Dad/Greg) making sure things are done right. Abigail can be found coordinating displays in the showroom, as well as arranging the retail stock. Dylan takes his product testing and bouncy castle control very seriously. It sure is never a dull moment with them on the job.
