Matt Desmier – Business Development

Matt Desmier - Sponsorship

Matt is head of the Enterprise Unit at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.

Matt works with Gary on developing our sponsorship package and spreading the word about DJC.

1. Favourite drink?
  Whiskey.  Straight.  None of this messing about with ice or coke or anything.  Pure.  Just the way the Scots intended it.
2. Who is your idol?
  Nick Cave.  A renaissance man: a songwriter and musician; an actor; an author; a screenwriter.  And he’s married to Vivienne Westwood’s muse and he’s King of the Goths!
3. Favourite holiday destination?
  Tough one.  Either Cuba or my lounge!
4. Favourite fellow networker?
  James Stelfox from Quostar
5. What did/do you want to do when you grow up?
  I wanted to be a cowboy as I liked the boots.  When it became apparent that that wasn’t going to happen I changed to wanting to be an artist.
6. One random fact about you
  I used to play Bass in a Gothic-Folk-Disco trio.  We played stripped-down songs about love, loss and murder all with an underlying funky groove!
