🎉 A very special achievement for Star Fireworks and Star Symphony Drone Shows.
We are incredibly proud to announce that our Director, Andy Hubble, has been approved as a Fellow (FIExpE) of the Institute of Explosives Engineers.
Andy has been a member of the Institute since 2012, and this award represents recognition of more than 30 years of dedication to the fireworks and explosives industry. Throughout his career, he has worked tirelessly to promote safety, professionalism and best practice, while helping to shape the future of the industry both in the UK and internationally.
From advising government departments and contributing to legislation, to training regulators, emergency services and industry professionals, Andy's knowledge and expertise have earned him respect throughout the sector. He has also previously served on the Council of the Institute of Explosives Engineers, representing the interests of the global fireworks industry.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Andy is believed to be the first person from the fireworks industry to be awarded Fellow status by the Institute. With members from across the world, approval as a Fellow is one of the highest recognitions the Institute can bestow and is awarded only to individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the profession.
