MLE Pyrotechnics began life 8 years ago as a limited company and consists of a team of dedicated staff who share the same enthusiasm for fireworks. Previous clients include ITV, Ford, Manchester Airport, and many wedding couples across the country as far afield as St-Andrews and Plymouth.

MLE strive to be innovative and every year to introduce new concepts to the firework industry. FireByWire is the brand name for a range of digital firing systems developed in house and sold worldwide. This firing technology allows companies to produce digital chase sequencing and split second choreography. FireByWire will be used at Stanford Hall to co-ordinate the firing of the display.

MLE import fireworks from abroad for use in their own displays, but also supply many other UK companies. Material is specifically produced for MLE and is the result of time spent in the factories specifying requirements.

"We love entertaining people and appreciate how much other people like to be entertained; that's why we try our hardest to make sure the audience receives the 'wow' factor that comes with such explosive entertainment."

MLE represented the UK at the 17th International Firework Competition, they are also competing at the British Musical Firework Championships - Southport and the British Firework Championships - Plymouth. Achieving 1st place in 2005.

Spitfire Pyrotechnics Limited, Coventry, Warwickshire

Spitfire Pyrotechnics has been in business for over fifteen years. The company consists of a tight knit group of dedicated individuals whose expertise and knowledge of Fireworks displays, soon becomes apparent when the button is pressed and the show begins.

Our firing rigs and equipment have been custom built and designed with safety and not economics in mind. We have at our disposal the hardware to create some amazing set pieces, huge catherine wheels, and waterfall effects that many companies would consider too time consuming and costly to incorporate into a show. With an electronic firing system that has a versatility to allow huge multiple firing positions across a very wide front.

For many years our speciality has been the marriage of fireworks to music, our aim, to create tightly synchronized displays with the choreography that sets our work apart from the rest. The effort that goes into producing the display is not lost on the audience and shows in their positive reactions.

Winning the British musical fireworks championships two years running at Southport is proof, that with dedication and attention to detail competition winning results can be achieved.
