With a stimulating eight year long background in events management and music promotions working with acts such as the Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, and The Libertines, Richard is no stranger to the music and media industry.

Before joining Herbert Media in August 2006, Richard embarked on a stint teaching Music and Media at City College Coventry but now spends his time managing and coordinating the creative media department, offering his expertise through innovative projects, productions and courses and allowing the "others" to be creative; which he says makes "a nice change" from working with the likes of Pete Doherty!
