GETTING TO KNOW US

Our founder Dan has over 20 years of experience in the events industry, and created TFB back in 2007. As well as being our CEO, he is also one of the very talented team of singers we have, and has a huge passion and addiction for performing (and showing off!) His big crazy personality, attention to detail, and importance he places on customer experience really feeds through the entire company, making TFB what it is. As well as obviously living and breathing music, Dan is a massive sports fan, and loves football, F1 and tennis, but he is also obsessed with Lego, and if you ever come into our offices, you will see his collection containing over 40,000 bricks!

Bradley, our Managing Director, has been immersed in the business world since a young age, successfully building numerous companies. Approximately 12 years ago, he joined TFB in its early days, focusing primarily on the business aspects and playing a pivotal role in elevating the brand to its current stature. Collaborating with his son, Dan, in developing the company stands out as one of Bradley’s greatest and proudest achievements. Looking ahead, Bradley is excited about the many upcoming projects and eagerly anticipates the future of the company. While he is a devoted fan of Spurs, Bradley also values holidaying and, most importantly, cherishing moments with both of his sons, their wives, and his granddaughters when time allows.
