Very nice! The Standard Family Bonfire looks an excellent selection box, it's practically all cakes. The Black Cat Discovery looks bigger than I imagined too.

Have fun!

you get what you pay for really but you get more for money in value but not in entertainment but if you have kids your ok there as it's a wide selection

Freakonfire

Has anybody tried the wholesaler in Hockley Birmingham? I think it may be called Soho Fireworks and it is opposite Castle Hardware.

Interesting FOF, not heard of Soho Fireworks, have you ever visited?

More details about Soho Fireworks please!

@Si7 : - Thanks for posting the Sima link, are the prices including VAT do you know?

Freakonfire

I have a good friend who also owns a business and he recommended Soho Fireworks. I have a trade account at Castle Hardware across the road and have often drove past. During Diwali they were offering buy one get two free! Apparently the place is owned by a nice Indian chap and gave my friend a car full of fireworks for £200 which lasted an entire night, I'm not sure how true this is but I have been told that although it's 'trade only' he will deal with the public if you ask nicely. I will have a look inside in the next few days and report back but I always feel like I'm being hard-done by when people start plucking prices out of the air so to speak. Let's hope i come away with a smile on my face! I'll report the brands stocked asap!

Freakonfire

Officemonkey2011, Sima seem ok as they offer the same fireworks as Hootys for half the price all be it not 'buy one get one free'. The firecrackers look interesting as they are rarely seen now days. Some items are more expensive than the Hootys prices divided by two but if it's variety you want then Sima works out better value, not everybody is going to want two of each firework!
