2022 was a whirlwind of a year, with some highs and quite a few lows for us all.
Each year that passes brings a new challenge to us when it comes to selling fireworks.
2020 brought Covid and all the challenges that we all faced.
2021 brought stock shortages and huge price increases.
2022 brought a stupidly high cost of living crisis.
Each year we have worked hard to adapt and overcome the struggles we constantly face, including Supermarkets, illegal fireworks sales, and every Tom, Dick, and Harry suddenly coming firework retailers. Selling fireworks isn't easy it's either feast or famine and we have to be really good at managing money.
But we love it, it's what we do and what we will continue to do.
But no matter how hard we work and how much we love it, it's our customers, both old and new, that keep coming back and supporting us. Without them, you, we're nothing so I've said it many times, thank you.
So we come to 2023 and what that brings. While we put our shop into hibernation mode, we are already starting to work on 2023 fireworks, with no rest for the wicked.
As it stands we have some ideas and changes we are going to make, but more than that, we cannot say yet.
So watch this space and fingers crossed we will have some updates soon.
Thanks for reading.
