A RIDDLESDEN firework display company is celebrating a hattrick of successes in a top contest.

Optimum Fireworks has won the coveted Firework Champions title for the third year running.

It beat off competition from other leading display teams to take the honours, at Newby Hall near Ripon.

Each entrant staged a display, choreographed to music, and an audience vote then decided the victor.

"We were competing against two other top companies and were proud to be voted the winner," said Philip Cooper, who runs Optimum Fireworks with partner Rebecca.

"It's a tough competition so to win it for a third time is great."
