THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PYRO
The Display Teams
Team 1
Selstar Fireworks
Selstar Fireworks are delighted to be back at Firework Champions, our team of highly skilled pyrotechnicians can't wait to entertain the crowd alongside the other teams. The crew thoroughly enjoy being able to put on displays and wow audiences across the country, after many years of developing our skills and design techniques we hope the display will bring something for everyone to enjoy.
Previously we have been lucky enough to win Firework Champions at Belvoir Castle, recently we were also crowned Winners at the International Fireworks Championships held in Michigan USA.
Good luck to all teams and we look forward to seeing everyone on the day.
Team 2
Dynamite Fireworks

Dynamite Fireworks started with humble beginnings in 2018. We offer up firework displays for all occasions including Birthdays, Weddings, Corporate events, Bonfire and Christmas Lights. We have been seen working alongside Rolls Royce, various Councils, Schools, and British American Football Association in recent years as well as lots of Weddings and Events throughout the summer months.
As the business started we were mainly a group of family and friends, now a big family of like-minded pyro enthusiasts who love what we do. The business has somewhat grown in recent years, and Fireworks Champions has most certainly played a key part in that in enabling ourselves to push those boundaries.
We have previously competed at Firework Champions and lucky enough to win at Ragley Hall and Newby Hall. As well as supplying the Closing shows in the following years at those events. In 2024 we came Runners-Up at the British Musical Fireworks Competition.
We would like to thank the team at MLE Pyrotechnics and Firework Champions for the invite back this year and good luck to the other companies competing. To you the audience, I’m sure you are in for a top night of quality Firework at the fantastic Ragley Hall.
Team 3
Twilight Fireworks
Tap a photo to view full screen.
I established Twilight Fireworks just prior to 2020 when I was 18 after I developed a passion for physics and theatre pyrotechnics while at school. Since then, my company has grown to offer a diverse range of services, including wedding fireworks, theatrical pyrotechnics, special effects and corporate events. The company caters for clients from wedding couples to celebrities.
This competition marks a significant milestone for us, and we are thrilled to begin our competitive journey alongside Firework Champions.
Our core team of six has been with us since inception and includes friends and family. We also work with other professional display companies as required to ensure that our clients receive the display best suited for their needs. Our dedicated and enthusiastic team is the cornerstone of our success, providing invaluable support throughout the year, especially during peak seasons like November and New Year's Eve. While we typically utilise the Cobra Firing System, we are particularly excited to showcase the capabilities of FireTek today.
We are thrilled to be participating in Firework Champions 2025 for the first time. We are honoured to be competing against established display companies. We know everyone has worked incredibly hard to bring their best to this event. To our audience, we hope you enjoy the displays of all the participants and extend a warm invitation to immerse yourselves in each display.
We are eager to demonstrate the artistry and skill of the Twilight Fireworks team.
We hope you enjoy what we have lined up for you.
