Bob Badan Founder

Meet the person behind the business:

I got my first taste of planning events very early in life. At just 15, I organised my first fundraiser at school to help raise money for a minibus. And it was a huge success! After that, life took me in a different direction for a while, but I eventually got pulled back towards working in events when I was asked to help out a friend who worked in the industry. I’ve always loved being part of that world, spending most of my time at clubs or festivals, so when I was offered the opportunity to get involved with one of his events I jumped at the chance. After another hugely successful experience, I realised I loved the work and decided to have a proper run at it. I went to university to study event management, qualified and have kept learning and evolving with the culture ever since. My experiences started with working in nightclubs and have shifted towards more activity-based events and festivals as the industry evolved over time. I have worked in almost every part of the events industry, as well as owning a restaurant in the past. I’ve watched how things have changed over time and now pride myself in finding new ways to create experiences that people really love.
