The first of our orders from China has now arrived and is safely packed away. This year has seen many problems with supply of fireworks from China. Firstly one of the largest UK importers went into administration which initialy led to some confusion as they had gone into administration only 2 years previously but it does mean that they will not be importing any new products this year just selling off what they already have in stock. Also in China itself there have been problems with manufacture. As I write this there is still a ban in place in China regarding the manufacture of fireworks at the temperature is too hot for this to be safely done. Combined with that one of the ships that transfer containers of fireworks from the area of manufacture to Shanghai to the large container ships coming to the UK capsized. 16 containers destined for the UK market were lost and tragicaly the captain of the vessel has not been found.
We have put our new 2011 main season web site on-line. This is primarliy for the live testing of links as to be honest the only way to make usre everthing works is in the end to put it live. As you will see we have some great offers and are able to offer a free delivery service (subject to a few conditions) for the first time.
We will update the web site with news as it happens.
