All of the Excitement, All of the Impact,
None of the Complaints.


We are pleased to announce a new generation of fireworks spectaculars for noise-sensitive venues.

This is in direct response to the growing number of venues and their clients who want to incorporate fireworks into their events, but are unable to do so because of the unacceptable impact on the locality.

We have built this revolutionary type of display around the following principles:

  • Low-noise - careful selection of effects for their visual, rather than their sonic impact. These displays are up to 75% quieter than normal displays.
  • Low-debris - using cleaner, self-consuming effects
  • Maximum Impact - using the latest digital performance technology to create movement, surprise and sheer magic on a scale rarely seen before.

This is all in addition to the normal standards you would expect from the UK's leading display specialists:

  • Safety - we put safety issues before all others and never compromise it.
  • Highest quality effects - sourced directly from the world's leading manufacturers.
  • High density - we have built our reputation on firing intensive, maximum energy displays.
  • Tailored design - every venue and event offers fresh opportunities and challenges, which means that no two displays are ever the same.
  • Experienced, highly-trained crew
  • Dedicated service - we focus exclusively on displays (i.e. we do not retail fireworks packs to the public): the only leading UK firework company to do so. This means that you and your event get all of our attention, all of the time.

Hotel rooftop - non-debris/low-noise/high impact effects

St. Mary's (Gherkin) rooftop

A corporate logo, fired in colour lance-work or flame rope, can form a focal point for a performance, as well as providing a powerful photo-opportunity. We are able to incorporate corporate colours and music into the display, and will be happy to provide a professional photographer.

A range of low-level special effects allow us to create stunning visual moments to enhance a product launch, announcement or the arrival of a VIP. These include:

  • Flame Projectors - amazing flame machines from the USA. These unique units produce programmable balls and columns of flame to 35ft.
  • Giant Confetti Cannons - often used by Shell Shock to shower the winning team at high-profile sporting events. Liquid CO2 is used to project confetti, available in a wide range of colours, from 80 to 150ft into the air.
  • Streamer Effects - these pyrotechnic effects launch either tissue or metallic streamers up to 40ft. Creates a powerful 'cascading' visual effect when fired from a balcony or rooftop
  • Rose-Petal Showers - similar in design to the confetti blowers, these smaller units are ideal for showering the bride and groom with fresh or dried petals as they leave the church or reception, creating a fantastic photographic moment.

We have designed fire-branding for many leading UK companies
