Search online for "professional fireworks" or "fireworks display company" and your search engine will throw up thousands of results and the choice of firework companies can be a bit overwhelming. Hopefully after reading this you will be able to select the right professional firework company for your event.

Firstly a bit of a warning - in the UK to be a firework display company you do not need a licence! So you can easily eliminate those firework companies from your list by checking the following.

Is the firework company a member of the British Pyrotechnics Association (BPA)? The British Pyrotechnics Association is the trade body that represents the majority of professional firework display companies in the United Kingdom. The Association is committed to maintaining high standards amongst its members, whose activities include the manufacture, importation, sale, transportation, training and use of display fireworks both by members of the public and professional firework companies.

Does the firework company have at least £10m public liability insurance? Insurance for firework companies is usually ...
... offered by specialist insurance companies due to the risks to the public attending firework displays. The most important part of anyone planning a public firework display is knowing that whatever happens it is covered by the firework display company.

Has the firework company got a long track record? A long track record is an indication that the firework company has a lot of public firework displays under their belt. Firework companies that are appearing overnight will not be able to demonstrate this.

Are there testimonials from firework clients on the fireworks company website? Testimonials are very important especially for those written by clients who have had a similar size professional firework display for their event. Don’t be afraid to pick up the phone and check some of the testimonials as some newer firework companies could just make them up.

Can the firework company help with other factors at your event? Good professional firework companies will have experience in dealing with site security, crowd control and other factors affecting your event. Use a firework company that is happy to give you advice or even take responsibility for other areas.

Does the firework company use quality materials? This one might be more difficult to spot while browsing a firework company’s website. But take a look at their latest news section and you might find the firework company has recently travelled to China and sourced the most up to date effects and the best quality fireworks. It is not uncommon for the larger more professional fireworks companies to do this.

Can you put your fireworks display out to tender? If you are an organisation why not tender your firework display to your short list of professional firework companies. Don’t fall into the trap of looking at the number of firework effects they offer since this can be very subjective as one firework company would describe a one hundred shot cake as one hundred effects while another firework company might describe it as one effect. If you choose to put your firework display out to tender always include the price you want to pay or alternatively choose no more than three price points and ask for a proposal for all three prices.
