#FULMINATION2025

WELCOME TO PLATINUM SPONSOR

It is a pleasure and an honour to welcome you to Fulmination 2025, the UK event for practitioners from across the explosives sector. Fulmination 2025 follows on from previous events and provides a place where we can come together as explosives professionals to network, learn from one another and enjoy each other’s company.

Over the next three days we all have a great opportunity to engage with an interesting and sometimes challenging set of presentations from a wide range of speakers on a diverse set of topics.

We also have an opportunity to engage in depth with our exhibitors and sponsors. I strongly encourage you to play an active role, exchanging ideas and looking to make our working lives more successful by identifying how we can implement new and existing technologies, applications and approaches.

I am particularly looking forward to our Gala Dinner and Awards on the evening of the 10th June 2025. During this black-tie event we will be recognising the individuals, companies and organisations who have made significant contributions to our sector over the last year and longer. On the evening of 11th June 2025 delegates will be able to enjoy a relaxed networking event. Fulmination 2025, the Gala Dinner and the networking events would not be possible without our sponsors and I hope you will join me in thanking them for their support and make a point of speaking to them to find out how their work can be relevant to your business.

During the event you will see members of the Institute team wearing white Polo Shirts with event staff on the back. If you have any questions or need any assistance during the event please do not hesitate to ask them for their help.

Finally, I hope you have an informative and enjoyable conference and I look forward to meeting you over the next three days.
