As well as building and running several successful companies over the years, he is also well known for his previous role as the Executive Managing Director for Archant London (the first free newspaper group in London).

Enzo utilised this working relationship with Liam when arranging his company’s corporate events, charity fundraising dinners, and Christmas parties, as well as celebrity award event management functions. Enzo’s role at Archant gave him the opportunity to put into action his event management knowledge and capitalise on his contacts in the entertainment industry, to organise, promote and sponsor in-door and out-door concerts, shows and charity events. Some of these events starred famous acts such as Sir Robin Gibb, Wet Wet Wet, The Drifters, Spandau Ballet, Rod Stewart, Cliff Richard and many others.
