Turbospoke has been awarded Gold in the 2012 Toyology Outdoor Toy Awards! Turbospoke faced off stiff competition from leading toy brands to walk away with a win in the 'Best Accessory' category of the coveted awards.
The Toyology awards are unlike any other because all of the winners are chosen by kids! 30 Children formed the judging panel at this years awards. The result of this was best summed up by Lewis Tyler of Toy News who said
“The Toyology Outdoor Toy Award winners were decided entirely by kids – which makes the event genuinely unique, and also means the winners badge is proof that a product actually provides a level of play that children respect”.
We are extremely proud of the award here at Turbospoke and have posted it onto the front page of our website, look!
A big thank you to Peter Jenkinson of Toyology for coordintaing the awards and of course to the judging panel for choosing Turbospoke!

Turbospoke has been featured on one of Ireland's most popular mid morning radio shows, the Tom Dunne show on Newstalk radio. On Thursday the 24th November Turbospoke inventor Tom Maxwell was interviewed live on national radio by Tom Dunne. The interview covered the background Turbospokes inception and how the idea has grown into the product that it is today, on sale in more than 10 countries worldwide including the USA & Canada where it is selling out in the lead up to Christmas.
The show is light and entertaining and provided amazing coverage for Turbospoke in its home market. The reaction from the listenership of the show was so overwhelming that the Turbospoke website actually crashed due to visitor volume!!
The entire piece is available to listen to here!
After the interview Tom Maxwell said this
"what an experience, to be interviewed on live radio is surreal. To know that hundreds of thousands of people are listening to what you are saying, but you can't see them is quite daunting, but Tom Dunne and his team are real professionals and put me very much at ease. The reaction to Turbospoke since the show aired has been nothing short of phenomenal!"
