Komodo Fireworks

What Komodo Fireworks does

Komodo Fireworks Limited is a UK-based private limited company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, operating in the professional fireworks display industry. The company designs and delivers tailor-made firework displays for weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, and seasonal public events (including Bonfire Night, Diwali, and New Year), serving both UK and overseas clients. Its core product offering is segmented across pyromusicals (music-choreographed displays), purely fireworks (non-musical displays), low-noise displays for livestock/neighbour-sensitive locations, indoor fireworks, and special effects (flame effects, confetti, lasers, multimedia). The company's technical differentiator is the proprietary i-Move system — a computer-controlled moving platform with tilt and pan capability that enables 3D choreographed movement of fireworks during displays, described as exclusive to Komodo Fireworks within the industry.

Revenue is generated primarily through bespoke event contracts priced per display, with traditional displays starting at approximately £1,000 and pyromusical displays starting at £1,700; budgets for weddings range from £750 to £8,000 depending on scale. Named enterprise clients include Barclaycard, RAF, Mercedes-Benz UK, ITV (X Factor), and Wolverhampton Racecourse, alongside a long tail of wedding and private-event clients routed through venue partnerships with properties such as Kilworth House Hotel, Burghley House, and Cliveden House. A separate direct-to-consumer retail channel, UK Fireworks (ukfireworks.com), sells consumer fireworks online as a sister brand. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct, using a website enquiry funnel, phone (0800 410 1002), and email, supplemented by content marketing, Facebook engagement, testimonials, and the company's own organized public events as live demonstrations.

The company is founder-led by Managing Director Rob Sosbe, operates with 11–50 employees, and holds no disclosed external funding. It maintains a stated 100% safety record since 2004, holds two British Musical Fireworks Championships and four Firework Champions trophies, is a member of the CBI Explosives Industries Group, trains operators to BPA standards, and is fully insured by Lloyd's of London. The company operates from a single registered office at 61 Alvington Way, Market Harborough, with no disclosed subsidiaries, parent company, M&A activity, or regulatory actions.
