“I first met Darren before leaving the UK to run HMV in Australia, over 10 years ago. I worked closely with him then, and more recently since my return to UK. He is hard working and a true professional. He understands the entertainment industry intimately having gained extensive experience right at the practical, cutting edge. He is trustworthy and great fun too - I have no hesitation in recommending him.”
