ME AND MY ’VAN

● Who are you and what do you do?

I’m the founder and CEO of Coalition Presents, an events business I started 27 years ago, when I was 19.

We started off doing student union and nightclub shows, working with DJs. Radio 1 was our biggest client base and we worked with the likes of Mark Goodier and Bruno Brookes, and then later with Scott Mills and Dev.

Over the years we’ve evolved; we now build different types of themed events. For example, we work with Sara Cox, who previously presented on Radio 2 (she now presents ), and at that time, we developed , a live event where Sara played 1980s pop. We also do a lot.
