Foundation
In 1964, Reverend Ron Lancaster MBE founded Kimbolton Fireworks in a small workshop, dedicating his career to research and innovation in pyrotechnics.
From these humble beginnings, the company went on to provide spectacular displays for prestigious events including the Handover of Hong Kong, London 2012 Olympics, Hogmanay in Edinburgh, and the Mayor of London’s New Year’s Eve Display.
