Summary

He is CEO of one of the largest independent festival production companies in the UK: delivering festivals and events to over 1 million people per year.

Nick had a similar start in events as I did: organising student events, getting into the nightclub scene and throwing parties right across the UK.

Nick’s passion for the events industry is really refreshing, and I hope you get as much out of this chat as I did.
