In loving memory of the founder of Kimbolton Fireworks.
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of the founder of Kimbolton Fireworks, Reverend Ron Lancaster MBE at the remarkable age of 95.
A true pioneer of the British fireworks industry, his passion, dedication and vision helped establish Kimbolton Fireworks as one of the most recognised and respected names in pyrotechnics.
What began as a passion grew into a name synonymous with quality, craftsmanship and spectacular firework displays, his contribution to the industry has left a lasting impression, inspiring generations of pyrotechnicians and firework enthusiasts alike.
Here at Phoenix Fireworks we are incredibly proud and grateful to have the opportunity to carry the Kimbolton Fireworks name forward, preserving the heritage, reputation and legacy that Ron worked so hard to build.
Whilst the industry has evolved over the years, the foundations he laid remain an important part of who we are today. It is a privilege to continue that journey and ensure the Kimbolton name remains a respected part of the British fireworks industry for generations to come.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family, friends and all those who had the pleasure of knowing and working alongside him.
Thank you for everything you gave to the fireworks industry. Your legacy will continue to light up the skies.
From all of us at Kimbolton Fireworks, rest in peace.
Martin and the Phoenix team.
