What Pyrotex Fireworx does

Pyrotex Fireworx Ltd is a privately held UK professional fireworks display company founded in 1999 by Mark Kelsall and headquartered in Branston, Burton-Upon-Trent. The company designs, choreographs, and executes professional firework displays for corporate clients, weddings, public events, arenas, cultural festivals, and international competitions, and self-describes as the UK's most awarded firework display company. Its core technology stack is built around the FireOne digital firing system integrated with proprietary choreography software (ScriptMaker Visual, CueMaker Visual, TimeCode Wizard, UltraFire), supplemented by compact rails, wireless transceivers, and X2 Wave Flamers for synchronized music-driven pyromusicals.

The company's product portfolio spans three core display tiers (Low Noise, Professional, and PyroMusical), eleven+ occasion-specific packages (Wedding, Civil Ceremony, Corporate, Birthday, Diwali, Bonfire Night, New Year's Eve, Indoor, DayLight, Celebration of Life, International), and complementary effect services (drones, lasers via a Kvant partnership, flame effects, driveway fountains, heart effects, optional extras). It also operates a sister retail site (pyrotexfireworks.co.uk) for consumer sales.

Pyrotex generates revenue through professional services contracts with a 20% non-refundable deposit and balance due two weeks before show date, with bespoke project pricing. Distribution is direct via phone, email, and on-site surveys to enterprise clients (including Apple, JCB, BBC, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz, Centre Parcs) and a long tail of private event bookings. The company holds BPA membership, £20m public liability insurance, and £10m employers' liability, and has won multiple international competitions across Europe and Asia.
