Working at Seatriever International Holdings Ltd

We are a rapidly growing company that designs, manufactures and distributes unique innovative products throughout the world.

Established in 2007, our award-winning business has offices in Cheshire, China, and the USA, with a blue-chip customer base and distributors in several countries. Seatriever began life in 2004, but things really took off following our CEO James Halliburton’s pitch on Dragons Den.

He pitched Waterbuoy a device that ensures that items dropped into water can be retrieved by an auto-inflating, reinforced balloon that lights up to provide a beacon. 2 Dragons wanted to invest into the device and James originally accepted their offer, but later changed his mind. Along with a desire to go it alone, his young neighbours inspired him to develop an additional use for the invention.

When they saw James testing latex balloons illuminated with LED’s, they were desperate for some to play with. Spurred on by the interest of his young neighbours, James saw a gap in the market for illuminated latex balloons that resulted in the creation of Illooms LED light up balloons. With just a handful of employees, the first office was opened in Mobberley, Cheshire. By 2014 illooms had expanded into more countries and had over 60 product lines.

There was also an office move to Northwich, as the Seatriever family outgrew their original home.

The team continues to grow as the business expands and in 2017 we installed bigger better coffee machines and instigated ‘Pizza Friday’ to keep the team happy! This year sees the exciting launch of our latest product that will bring a whole new appeal to the Illooms brand.

Our culture is a reflection of our passion to make a difference.

At Seatriever, all ideas are welcome. We try and create an environment infused with passion, fun, creativity, honesty and togetherness that motivates everyone to always do, and be, the best we can.
