We also meet the founder of event specialist Glistrr, Matthew Large. A maths whizz with a part-time interest in the club scene, he began his business as a ticketing platform that provided a better solution to his needs to drive ticket sales for venues.

The team are now working with venues across the UK, Ireland and the US and have a unique way of helping venues sell tickets by harnessing the power of social media.
