Keegan Matthews
Senior Firer
One of our youngest members at Pyrotex Fireworx. Keegan started with us on his 18th birthday. After 6 years of being with Pyrotex he has picked up a vast amount of experience. He has worked with most of our senior firers throughout the years.
Keegan is a great guy to have on any site with his humour and exuberant energy, not afraid to get stuck in on the most demanding of sites. He will always bring a huge morale boost when needed. He truly has a genuine passion for fireworks. Just do not talk to him about football!!
Q&A With Keegan
I have always been intrigued by fireworks and whenever there has been a local display that has been available for public viewing, I have been there. My girlfriends brother explained to me about the possibility of working for Pyrotex Fireworx and I jumped at the chance. From the first show I ever did up until now, I am amazed by the different effects, colours and sounds of all the fireworks we work with.
Yes- my current role is a residential support worker
I have had to keep an eye on a deer that was close to a site when setting up a show for big named client. Safe to say, the deer ran away when the show started
Being part of the winning team for the fireworks championship 2019 at Belvoir castle. This show was a UK competition and was shown infront of a crowd of around 6,000 people. This competition was voted for by the members of the public and I was proud to be part of the winning team.
A great laugh, always great to catch up with crew members you haven’t seen for a while and I consider all the crew as a second family
Teamwork. Travelling around the country can be draining in any job, but I always understand that myself and the crew I am on the show with are “in the same boat” so after the show it is important to make the site safe for myself, the crew and the clients.
