With several decades of experience working within independent, corporate and public sector environments at executive level, Michael specialises in Marketing, Operations, Licensing, Logistics and System Implementation. With significant senior management roles within Luminar Leisure Plc, The Drinks Group and the University of East Anglia, and now as the Chief Executive of the Night Time Industries Association, he has been exposed to a considerable range of businesses within the night time economy business sector.

Michael has been involved within many high level initiatives both within local and national government, alongside key stakeholders. Many of his roles within this industry have involved the facilitation of best practice for independent’s and multi site operators of venues, bars and pubs, with more recent experiences working very closely with festivals and live venues in shaping operational efficiencies and best practice on a regional level in conjunction with the Police and Local Authorities.
