Frankfurt Am Main, Hessen, De

At Messe Frankfurt I sold exhibition space for around 6 months gaining knowledge of the industry which allowed me to progress into a different role and see an opportunity when I saw it.

Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Gb

I originally set this company up as a toe in the water project. I was studying Business in college and felt I could see a gap in the market for a 'gig' promoter in Surrey and London.As a company we successfully built a brand that became very popular. We organized and promoted a large number of gigs and events in London and Kingston upon Thames.Eventually I made the decision after leaving college that I would take the opportunity of a full time job for security rather than growing the business. Eventually a year later I came across the T3 System and put my entrepreneurship into this rather than the very fragile music industry.
