I'm assuming you know this if you are going pro, but once you have licenced storage & insurance in place, there are any number of people who will supply you, Essex, MLE etc...

(BTW, you seem to have posted this question in three threads! - Please don't!)

Pyro supplies please do not take this wrong way but if you have been doing displays for/with other companies then you should allready know of the more common uk suppliers of cat 4. I am currently starting up myself and allready know of a few suppliers through my experience of helping out other people with displays. Even with insurance and PROVEN experience you will struggle to get hold of the material without a storage licence so please bare that in mind on your venture.

However good luck and i hope all goes well.

I've helped out on one show yeah thats right just one and i know of three suppliers in the uk. Not trying to be funny but you don't really seem to have a clue. That or on the shows you've helped out on you've walked around with your eyes and ears closed. As has already been said, you won't get the "stuff public can't buy" with out the appropiate insurance and licenced storage.
either way you've riled me by posting a question (three times) when the search function would of been perfectly suited to satisfying your desperate need to find a supplier.

Several pro suppliers are represented on this forum, if they haven't contacted you then they probably haven't noticed the experience that they call sufficient, and you haven't shown insurance and storage documentation.

Also this time of year is hard work time for working professionals. No-one has time for sorting out new business til the season is over.

1/ you should look for two plus year's regular firing for a pro company before you have significant experience, and you should have a log of that experience.

2/ you need some serious training with PASS certificates, -put them in a show folder with your insurance and storage certs.

3/ you need licensed storage in accordance with MSER and approved by your local (usually) Trading Standards Officers - the licence goes in the file too.

4/ You need professional fireworks display insurance to buy the fireworks and fire your own professional shows

When the resident (here) professional suppliers read compliance and competence in your posts, you WILL get messages offering to supply you. They all want to sell, BUT they may only sell to competent and legally compliant users.
