Pyrotechnology Ltd.

The priority for any Pyrotechnics Company has to be Safety - on which we never compromise - but we also want to bring the best and most spectacular events possible to our Clients and Audiences, so as a Company we are always looking forward and seeking ways to present new ideas and new effects to the entertainment and events Industries.

Our aim for the coming year is to continue to provide the best possible service to our Clients and this year Audiences will see our work at some of 2009's largest shows and events, so we're looking forward to those challenges.

We're also continuing to build our Hire department so that we have more equipment available for hire at busy times and will for the first time be stocking some incredible stadium effects, that we don't believe can be hired anywhere else in the U.K.

Our Third objective is our on-line SFX store, which will launch officially on January 1st 2009. Designed for the professional pyro technician, venues and Theatre Companies as well as those putting on events, the site will offer all kinds of effects and consumables for next day delivery and at very competitive prices.

Pyrotechnology are based in Crawley, West Sussex which gives us easy and fast access to the motorway system, and central London as well as international links via Gatwick airport. We have filly licensed storage facilities and our experienced freight handler is an expert at importing and exporting large, and unusual consignments as well as dangerous goods.

We also have a passion for the environment.

We aim to run our operation as ecologically responsible as possible, this includes everything down to the paper we print on and the Co2 in our confetti launchers.

We source our confetti from recycled and renewable sources and our Co2 from a supplier that “Reclaims” Co2 from the atmosphere and does not manufacture it artificially, this means we simply return the Co2 from where it came from and the only energy used was in the extraction process.

If you are a manufacturer and can offer us similar products that we can use ourselves or offer for sale via our new on-line SFX shop, we would be delighted to hear from you.
