CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Michael Cohen began his career in entertainment working
for ATV in his school holidays. When he left school
he worked for Noel Gay Artists representing artists
such as David Frost and Mel Torme. This proved to be
valuable experience for what was to come.
In October 1974, he formed MPC Entertainment, now one
of Britain's foremost entertainment businesses. MPC
specialises in artist management looking after many
of the top personalities in the United Kingdom. MPC
also operates and owns other businesses associated with
artists. These include board games, books, TV production,
videos, voiceovers, as well as TV formats. In the past
five years alone, MPC Games has sold over £50
million worth of TV board games.
Michael Cohen, was also the forerunner of the private
telephone industry in Great Britain. Empecey Telephones,
the company he started, destroyed the single market
that existed in Britain at the time. The company grew
quickly - profits tripled every year for three years
and Michael sold out at the tender age of 28. The experience
gained from owning and supplying over 400 shops was
invaluable and was put to good use marketing MPC Entertainment.
Over the past 28 years many artists have been started
on the road to stardom by MPC. The policy of building
new talent is one that still exists today, even though
MPC has a list of household star names.
In 1999, MPC expanded into sport and now represents
some of the World's biggest sporting names in cricket,
golf, rugby and sSwimming.
Michael says "I still get a great deal of pleasure
from seeing our clients grow from strength to strength,
particularly as most of them started their careers at
MPC - we will continue building for the future and always
welcome new clients and developing new relationships".
