I am Mat, a director of MLE, and currently waiting in Heathrow airport for a flight to Beijing.
My journey to work on the latest firework effects starts with 20 hours of travelling to the largest producer of fireworks in the world – China.
Over the next few days I will be writing about what we get up to in order to ensure our fireworks and displays are at the very cutting edge and of the highest quality.
Once I get to Beijing I shall be meeting up with our Chinese member of the MLE team – Yaqi, who flew out a few days ago in December.
From there we will fly 2 hours to Changsha, take a 1 hour car journey to Liuyang and go straight into our first demo of fireworks.
This time of year is rather cold in China and demo nights basically consist of firing of hundreds of individual effects over the course of several hours.
More soon!
