Q&A With Ian
How did you get into fireworks?
From when I lived in blackpool where they had the fireworks display in front of the blackpool tower on the beach. Ive loved them ever since
Do you have a day job outside of fireworks? If so what is your job?
I work for a local logistics firm for a well known high street brand
What is the strangest thing you have seen or had to do on a display?
There has been plenty but the most memorable has to be driving a golf buggy to transport the product from the van to the site. I don’t think I drove too bad for saying I don’t have a car licence!
What is your favourite firework experience up to date?
Being on top of a hill in the the lake district in the beaming sunshine setting up a display for a wedding. You could see for miles!
How would you describe working for Pyrotex?
A great laugh and always great to catch up with crew members you haven’t seen for a while.
What are your key strengths when out on site?
I like to have a laugh when out on site but I also like to be safe too! I also love showing new crew members the ropes.
