Fantastic Fireworks' celebrations guaranteed to go with a bang!

By Ruby Speechley

“We’ve found that people like to have something different, especially on Bonfire Night. They especially like themes, so we’re always on the look-out for something new. The 400 th anniversary was a popular addition.”

Jon says that occasionally they receive unusual requests. “One lady contacted us to say that her husband’s dying wish was to have his ashes scattered by rocket. Technically it was possible. We simply had to take some stars out and put his ashes in their place. His widow sent the ashes to us and we transferred them to a big rocket with his name on it, which was launched in her own garden. The idea has inspired others to copy it, and we’re asked to fulfil these wishes on a regular basis.”

Jon clearly continues to enjoy his company being at the centre of many of the nation’s celebrations, as well as private functions. “Fireworks are a piece of theatre and everyone enjoys that occasionally. We are here to help people make those special moments in their lives that little bit more memorable.”
