Q&A With Wayne
How did you get into fireworks?
Have always done fireworks in my back garden for bonfire night and picked up some fireworks for the display from Pyrotex and asked if they had any jobs going, which they did and I’ve been with them ever since.
Do you have a day job outside of fireworks? If so what is your job?
I do, I work for a business management consultancy.
What is the strangest thing you have seen or had to do on a display?
The strangest thing ive seen on a display is, well, lets put it lightly, two people fumbling in the woods next to the firing site. A quick flash of our head torches and they soon scarpered.
What is your favourite firework experience up to date?
The firework Championships at Belvoir Castle in 2019 where we ended up winning. It was brilliant
How would you describe working for Pyrotex?
Love it ! Hard work at times but the comraderie of the crew is brilliant.
