"Go to University" they said, "get a degree, do some travelling, it'll open up so many opportunities, the world's your oyster!" So having embarked on a Construction degree in London I graduated in 1995 concurrently with running my own Music Promotion and Artiste Management Company; hardly the most orthodox career path.

I guess they were right about Uni, it did open up so many opportunities. My student years promoting events/gigs and working backstage set out my career profile in concert, production theatre and event management. From G8 government summit to green field festivals; European 'rock n roll' tours to twin-city exchanges; blockbuster West End musicals to international ballets/operas; capital of culture programmes to resident technical management; in 25 years I've donned many hats, wore the t-shirts and sent the postcards.

I never undervalue the good fortune that opportunity has granted me to work and travel in such a dynamic environment and meet so many incredible people along the way.

Now embarking on the most exciting and ambitious venture to date and proud to be 'heading up' a talent pool of unique professionals, REOBT is preparing to launch.
