MLE are pleased to announce we’re working on a FireByWire training course for the industry.  Interest is overwhelming so it is very likely we’ll be running several each year for professional companies through to interested individuals.

Our firing system, FireByWire, is at the forefront of the industry and the more powerful it becomes the higher the requirement for training.

We feel the courses give the opportunity for users to discover new features as well as suggest or discuss developments or ideas.  MLE have always listened very carefully to feedback given.

Courses are likely to cost £70 per person and will be held at venues to be announced in the near future.  Both the programming and hardware teams are likely to be on hand.

For more information please email mat – mat@mlepyrotechnics.co.uk or ring 01327 876 037.

New ADR plates

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

MLE have just invested in brand new ADR plates for our vehicles, these ones are magnetic which makes it far easier to put them on our vans.  They are required when we do larger displays or move van loads of fireworks around to customers.

Fireworks – over 1000 cartons

Today our team unloaded a container of fireworks from China – over 1000 cartons of material to be used on professional displays around the world.  3 hours and 8 people – one of the heaviest containers we’ve had for a while.  Meanwhile a meeting at Belvoir Castle for the forthcoming competition – Belvoir Firework Champions took place today, finalising the small details of the event – looking at improvements where possible and showing Alex, the new site manager, around.  It’s all action at MLE at the moment!

Scotland and more fireworks

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

Today we’ve teams out all around the UK firing wedding displays, the furthest show tonight is in Scotland.  We fire displays up there many times a year – just a week ago St-Andrews saw a massive firework display provided by MLE.

Meanwhile those who have today off will be getting up early tomorrow to unload 30 tonnes of fireworks from China.  Our second container this week with many more already ordered for delivery later in the year.

Our office is often busy on Saturdays – customers usually prefer to collect their fireworks over the weekend and we do our best to cater for them.

Last minute display?

Friday, May 8th, 2009

Fireworks don’t seem to be slowing down despite the current climate – but what we are finding is a larger number of last minute requests and bookings.  Perhaps today is a fine example, a phone call at 4pm, a trip to the magazines, and a few hours later a team of 2 are down in Luton setting up for tonight.  So please don’t be scared to ring us up – even if it’s out of hours we’ll move the earth to meet your demands… infact our team enjoy the challenge.  7:42pm, time to leave the office.
