Meet the Team

Edward O’Brien is the award-winning CEO of iMEP.

“Eddy” is the driving force behind an incredibly talented company, passionate about every minor detail that comes with being so successful in the music event production industry for the last eight years.

Having toured the world extensively, Eddy brings with him a wealth of experience that you will struggle to find elsewhere.

Lighting, sound, staging, special effects… there is no end to Eddy’s talents and that is why he has worked with the very best.

What do Ed Sheeran, Billy Joel and Little Mix all have in common? They have all entrusted IMEP to run their events, time after time.

Eddy and his highly skilled team provide a turnkey operation for events throughout the world. Only recently did Eddy head up a world first, as ‘The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight’ went global and performed at Palladium Times Square in New York.

That event featured the full iMEP package, from lighting, sound and stage management, to backline technicians, monitor engineers and more!

Talking of firsts, Eddy was also part of The Greatest Showman’s World Premiere in New York. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Zac Efron, Hugh Jackman and James Corden… the experience and skills picked up working on large scale productions has been pivotal in Eddy’s illustrious career so far.

As stage and production manager upon The Royal Caribbean, Eddy played a senior role on the first post-COVID cruise ship to set sail in the world. Departing Singapore with very strict rules and regulations, the role showcased Eddy’s strong ability to work under pressure and think outside the box to ensure a first class production occurred in the harshest of conditions and environments.

A former studio manager at the BBC including BBC Radio 5 Live and the BBC World Services, Eddy from Accrington, England has also accomplished so much in his home country.

With a clear goal and purpose from an early age, he made contacts for life while working at the Blackburn Empire Theatre, and won awards for his exceptional Auschwitz documentary with the Holocaust Educational Trust, all while still at college.

Supporting work on music festivals, food festivals and Soapbox challenges have come since, with Eddy’s personable and honest nature leading to repeat bookings, again, again and again.

Now CEO of one of the fastest growing music event production companies in the world, Eddy’s journey continues. Hold tight for an exhilarating 2024!
