Co-founder of TR Entertainment at the age of 20 whilst at university alongside 2 peers. The company had 2 arms - video production and lighting control equipment hire. The video production arm utilised the capital earned from the previous venture "Techro Entertainment" to purchase professional video production assets (cameras, edit suite, sound recording equipment etc). We provided video services for local businesses, weddings and music labels as we found a niche market of music video production for grassroots artists. The lighting control equipment side of the business was funded by our (fortunate) position of not requiring the full sum of our student loans. We used the excess to purchase a GrandMA2 lighting console which we then successfully hired to major production hire houses in the UK which saw the equipment on tour with well known artists and it made appearances at festivals such as Glastonbury. Following our university years the founders split to work in different areas of the country and seek alternative career paths. All of the equipment was successfully sold and the founders exited the company with strong returns.
