He taught Jazz and Musical Theatre and worked as a choreographer for their summer shows, competitions and the largest Dance Exhibition in Europe ‘Move It’ London.

In more recent years Niall worked as an international development consultant for the UAE and Germany at Urdang International, growing their client base, managing budgets, recruiting schools and project managing the largest interschool competition in the middle east.

His motivation behind the development of CEI's creative careers training programme is simple… he would have loved to have been given the chance to recognise the transitional skills he acquired from his creative activities at a younger age and realise just how important and broad the creative economy is. Having always had a love for business, Niall is excited and motivated to steer Creative Ed International to the top of the creative education market.
