Olympic Torch and Event Burners

London 2012 Olympics

Bullfinch were privileged to have been awarded the contact to design and manufacture the burners for the Olympic Torch, Paralympic Torch and the Mini Cauldrons used at the torch relay events each evening.

They take advantage of our expertise in Flame Technology and good production systems which we have developed over the years.

Emigrant Flame

In 2013 we designed and developed an Emigrant Flame and Torches to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of John Kennedy coming to the Kennedy home town of New Ross in Co Wexford, Ireland. The flame also celebrates and remembers the millions of Irish people that have emgrated over the two centuries.
