Atom Fireworks
First and foremost we would like to thank MLE for inviting us back in 2020, for what will be our 5th consecutive year in the Firework Champions events.
For me (the designer) this location is somewhat special, it was at Belvoir Castle seven years ago watching the displays that I thought, "I think I could do this". It sparked my imagination for the integration of fireworks with music, so finally being asked to compete here is quite literally a dream come true.
We would like to think that by winning three out of four competitions we know a thing or two about designing and executing a fantastic pyro musical firework display. We source pyrotechnics from across the globe to bring the audience something refreshing with great impact.
This year we are up against some really tough competition, one team being responsible for taking numerous Firework Champion victories and British Championship titles. Some would fear being against such a talented team, however for us it simply means this is time to grow, to improve, and to focus even more than before.
If one thing is certain, you the audience are going to have a night of fireworks entertainment unrivalled in the UK. We will deliver our best performance yet and we are certain so will the other teams.
We provide many firework displays across the UK annually, from wedding displays, bonfire shows and NYE events.
We have worked with the Military, Council's, Round Table's, Festival organisers and so forth. The biggest event in our calendar would have to be the UK's biggest 360 degree firework display, that show is something totally different and a production we are proud of.
We look forward to seeing you all on the night and wish the other teams the very best of luck.

Komodo Fireworks
Komodo Fireworks are delighted to be part of this season's Firework Champions competition at Stanford Hall. With our main display base just down the road in Leicestershire, it is great to be back on home turf for this event and we are really looking forward to showcasing our work.
Komodo Fireworks was founded in 2004 by company director and display designer Rob Sosbe, and since then have consistently grown in stature and reputation as one of the best in the business for producing breathtaking professional firework displays, from intimate wedding receptions, right through to large-scale private, corporate, and public events.
Rob heads up a team of over 50 dedicated and experienced pyrotechnicians who work for us on displays of all shapes and sizes carried out right across the UK.
Rob said: “It has been an incredible journey for the Komodo team over the last few years and we have high hopes for the future, including plans in place to compete in our first International musical competition when the world hopefully gets back to normal. Despite the challenges of last season for us all, and of course as a business within the events industry, adversity and the challenges of the pandemic also inspired us as a business, and we were incredibly proud to have managed the production of the UK’s biggest live public firework display of 2020 in support of the NHS and key workers. Our amazing team delivered six large scale synchronised musical displays on the 5th of November, reaching an estimated audience of over 200,000 stay at home residents!
Being invited back to the firework Champions this season is kind of where it all began on the competition scene for us, going on from our first wins at Belvoir Castle, Capesthorne Hall and Eastnor to win the British Musical firework Championships – twice! We can’t wait to Paint the Sky back in our home patch & wish you all a great evening at Stanford Hall “

Kvant Lasers
Kvant Lasers UK is perfectly positioned to provide a comprehensive range of laser display services. From a single projector displaying a logo through to multiple high powered beams laser mapping the houses of parliament.
Although originally a laser manufacturer, we think about our business differently. We don’t consider ourselves to be in the laser equipment business but rather the entertainment business. This means we go above and beyond just laser shows to create everything from custom laser displays and laser mapping through to 3D video and holographic projections, right up to fireworks and water shows. You name it, we can do it.
During the past 25 years we have been presented with many opportunities, embracing these exciting challenges and experiences. Being part of teams in entertainment shows of all shapes and sizes for a range of brands has exposed us to many different approaches. This has helped create who we are today.
We are proud to be involved with Firework Champions and look forward to lighting the skys between the shows.
