  The Quicksilver Team


We are a team who work with what we love - fireworks!

We all thoroughly enjoy what we do and this enthusiasm cannot help but inspire your event too.

Darren Wallis - The Managing Director

The Boss. As with all bosses, the less said the better. We don't really mean that.
Darren is the driving force behind the success of Quicksilver. Starting out in a small office supplying pyrotechnics to the theatre industry, he has now established himself as an important person within the industry.
A member of the EIG, Darren can also be found teaching students up and down the country in all aspects of fireworks.

Wayne Bennett (aka Riff) - The Display Manager

Since joining our team six years ago as a part time firer, Wayne's passion for fireworks lured him away from the live events industry to take up the position of display manager, running the Denton Office where all our displays are co-ordinated from.

Mark Wallis & Mark Barber

The men behind our firing systems. These two very clever chappies have designed a number of electronic firing system that are unique to Quicksilver. From our 30 channel workhorse firing system to our state of the art remote controlled system, their skill in electronics means that we can fire displays with split second precision, even in the most unusual sites.
