Frontier Fireworks started trading back in 1996 with the help from the Princes Youth Business Trust.
A business model was put in place for what we wanted to achieve and where we wanted to take Frontier Fireworks. Over 20 years later we have reached a number of our targets but our enthusiasm and hard working ethics have not changed, we are still looking to provide bigger, more spectacular displays every year.
Both company Directors had a different background before starting the company which helped us create a fresh approach in an industry that some people looked upon as “tired” and in need of fresh blood. In essence we were the new company on the block and were quite young as people when we entered the fireworks industry. We entered the National Fireworks Championships in 2000 when we only had four years experience behind us and were placed third which was an achievement in itself, as we were rated higher than well established companies in the competition. We returned once again in 2002 and were awarded the runners up position in the same competition, again beating more established companies than ourselves.
Our business model changed slightly after the competitions as we realised that our customer care and main business of providing displays and working with a diverse client base was more important to us than taking part in competitions. This has stood the test of time as we have increased our client base year on year.
We have continued to research fireworks displays from around the world to ensure that we are right on the cusp of technology and fireworks development to ensure that we are one of the best display companies in the UK. Our clients are testament to what we have achieved in the past and how enthusiastically we are looking to the future.
As a founder of the company, Chris originally came into the fireworks industry from a sports background. After much research into what other companies provided, Chris had a clear vision of where he wanted to take Frontier Fireworks.
Chris has always had a competitive edge to everything he has done and looks for the best in everything he and the company achieves. He is often the driving force with regards to energy and enthusiasm, working in all types of environments and motivating everyone around him.
Quite often in the fireworks industry, staff members break away from existing fireworks companies and start their own fireworks business but Chris came into the industry for the love of fireworks. He has installed a friendly, honest, competitive feel to the company and has upheld British values within the company pushing for British industry to show what we have to offer.
Chris is the Artistic Director of the company because of his natural ability to inject creativity and artistry into the displays that are designed for clients. You will most likely find that you will talk to Chris with regards to display choreography too as his love of music and fireworks choreography blend so well with creative themes.
Client care is very high on the company’s agenda and Chris will endeavour to ensure that all of the company’s clients are looked after with an excellent care package.
Special projects that involve displays with high profile clients or national events are our forte and Chris has been the point of contact for these events often working long hours to ensure that every event is a resounding success. Having the enthusiasm to take Frontier Fireworks into the future, developing new skills and creative ideas, the company is in sound hands for what the future holds.
As a co-founder of the company Helen Stenlake has a vast amount of knowledge regarding the fireworks industry. Helen prides herself on her high level of attention to detail and her methodical approach to problems. Helen will use these skills to assess display venues in terms of access and suitability for the practical aspects of a display. Helen also has a great ability to listen to clients and to understand what they require for their events.
One Team......A British Success Story......Frontier Fireworks is Igniting The Dark all over the UK
As Frontier Fireworks looks to the future we reflect on the past so that our true British traditions are at the core of everything that we do. Our displays have been seen by millions of people over the years and our audiences have come to expect the very best displays being fired on time, every time.
Frontier Fireworks was formed in 1996 and every year our history has been built on a background of safety and fireworks display design ensuring that we push the boundaries of our shows to the max.
Our clients would only use a company with exceptional customer care coupled with explosive entertainment and that has led to us working with clients such as the RAF Red Arrows for their special 50th Anniversary display, the British Airways i360, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Katherine Jenkins, The British Olympic Association, the X Factor Finalists and so many more.
We are licenced to sell all year.
