About Me

Festival Owner, Podcast Host and Entrepreneur. 

I’ve been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember, from selling tickets to the nightclub next door as a 10 year old to owning Bournemouth 7s Festival and attracting 30,000 people each year.

I host the Eventful Lives Podcast and we have rocketed into the top 0.5% of podcasts globally, listened to in 170 countries, had 80 Million views and built a fantastic loyal community!

I also Co Host the Harry Redknapp Show interviewing Piers Morgan, Rod Stewart, Eddie Hearn, Romesh Ranganathan, Frank Lampard to name a few!

Eventful Lives Podcast

On this podcast I chat to proper characters who have lived eventful lives. From Starts Ups to Sporting Celebs, Founders to Festival Owners, Entrepreneurs to Rock Stars, Gangsters to SAS Heroes, Addiction to Billionaires and everything in between.

The instant success and growth of the podcast led to me being invited to co-host the Harry Redknapp Show with the man himself. 

Bournemouth 7s Festival

Since I created  Bournemouth 7s in 2008, it has become the World’s Largest Sport & Music Festival, attracting 30,000 people and 400 teams to the south coast each year.

We are still privately owned by myself and my wife Fleur and are very lucky to have a tight team of 9 people who work on this festival all year round. On the bank holiday weekend we have 100 DJ’s and over 1,000 staff working the festival each day.

Our entire B7s team share a huge passion for sport, music and attention to detail.

Eventful Lives Podcast

I’ve always been a massively curious person so when my team came to me with the idea of starting a podcast I was super keen. Since launching the podcast we have built our on studio, team and guest list to be one of the biggest podcasts in the UK gaining over 80 Million views and growing our show on all social media platfroms

Event Crowd - Online Course

In 2020, the pandemic hit hard and over 100,000 people left the industry. I knew that events would eventually come back with a bang, and that there would be 1000s of job opportunities, but not enough skilled people to fill them.

A new alternative pathway into the industry was needed, and Event Crowd was born! Our mission is to provide aspiring eventprofs with a fast-track into the industry through exposure to some of the highest performing industry leaders.
