Q&A With Stu
How did you get into fireworks?
I did not choose fireworks, they chose me. Its an art form like no other. It combines emotion, colour, noise, synchronicity, occasionally music, excitement and danger. To quote someone else: “A pyro technician is an artist combining 5 elements, the talent of an artist, the hand of a sculptor, the eye of a painter, the heart of a poet and the courage of a warrior”
Do you have a day job outside of fireworks? If so what is your job?
Fireworks are my passion, my life. Outside of fireworks, I have and manage various businesses
What is the strangest thing you have seen or had to do on a display?
In an industry that is constantly pushing the boundaries, nothing is considered strange. If I had to choose one, I guess it would be to Blow Up a clients Range Rover!

Too many to mention- Simples
