Leaving school in 1988 Cole Stevens began training as a draughtsman in central London, after two years he moved on to a law firm and eventually his last full time position was in sales and marketing, which allowed Cole the time to enjoy a part time role as an actor, model, presenter, DJ and entertainer which he continued until 1996. During this time he performed for many corporate events, celebrities and even Royalty and in his late teens, appeared in various commercials, TV shows, on stage in addition to creating his first business concept; The Entertainment Directory.
