Summary
A passionate, driven, and forward-thinking individual, currently seeking an exciting new challenge. Over the past 4 years, I've built and managed two successful ventures - a youth events brand and Nexus AV, a smart home automation company specialising in Control4 systems. The events brand was launched during lockdown, identifying a gap in the under-18 market for safe, affordable experiences. I led every stage from concept, venue sourcing, and staffing to legal compliance and stringent security protocols to ensure safety. Simultaneously, I've overseen all aspects of Nexus AV, delivering high-end AV and automation solutions. My role involves managing projects, client relations, system design, and hands-on installation. I've developed expertise in Control4, networking infrastructure, lighting control, multi-room audio, and system integration. Across both ventures, I've built strong relationships with clients, suppliers, contractors, and staff - driven by a focus on quality, innovation, and trust. These experiences have sharpened my business acumen, technical skills, and leadership capabilities.
