Hello, I'm Matt!I started my entrepreneurial journey at 18, and started Clownfish Events. The truth is, I had no idea what I was doing, having just left school. I simply knew I wanted to create an industry-leading brand and do it with an unrivalled team, that I loved. As a kid, I watched my dad achieve those two things, and that's always inspired me.My interest was always techy stuff (sound and lighting) and putting on events, and so Clownfish was formed in 2009. The last decade has been extraordinary. I'd say I've had both higher highs, as well as lower lows than expected. I suppose anything worth achieving was never going to be straight-forward.Clownfish has become a £1million firm with a plethora of industry awards, an unbeaten ratings-record and clients including Apple, Google, British Airways, Microsoft and Virgin. More interestingly, we're run like a family. The full-timers have extreme dedication, commitment and passion for what we do and it's made all the difference to my life, and the company. So much so, I recently awarded the team with shares in the business. After 11 years of external shareholding, we are now solely owned by the people that work here.My dad's not with us anymore, but I know he'd like that last sentence the most. If you'd like to have a chat about running a business, working in a pandemic or mental heath - don't be afraid to DM me. Oh, and if you'd like to talk about running an event or hiring a broadcast studio, I'm pretty good at that stuff too.
