Recommendations received

“I worked with Karl when he employed me to be the Event Manager of the 2017 Nightmare Realm at the RDS, Dublin. From the get go his management style was very inspiring and the passion and commitment he has for his event was motivation in itself. He is hands on, creative and a fantastic leader. I would highly recommend Karl and if you get a chance to work along side him I’d take it. ”

“I had the pleasure of working with Karl at The Nightmare Realm in October, I use the term “work” loosely as it was never a chore but always great fun, from the moment we met Karl we felt at ease and they were very helpful and accommodating. His creativity is second to none, anyone who experienced The Nightmare Realm would have been impressed with the talent and expertise. I very much hope to work with Karl in the future and wish him all the best for any future endeavours.”
