Dave Fradley
Senior Firer
Do you want someone who has a true passion for Pyro?! Dave’s your man. He has been with Pyrotex Fireworks since 2016 and is a highly respected member of the team. In just over a year Dave went from a trainee to lead firer.
Dave is a great crew member to have on-site as he has an extraordinary eye for detail. Dave makes sure that all firing connections are correct and all excess wires are tied up. His motto is ‘a tidy firing site, a stunning show’. Shame we cannot say the same about the van with your McDonalds!
