Henry Roth was born into the world of weddings. His grandparents were fur coat designers in Poland before World War II and his parents founded Henri Josef, one of Australia’s largest bridal and couture houses over fifty years ago. In 1984 Henry graduated from the University of Sydney with a Law degree. Implementing his education creatively Henry worked at the mega advertising agency BBDO. In 1986 Henry was vigorously sought after and landed a position in one of Australia’s largest and best known entertainment company’s – Michael Edgley. He marketed special events that took him from Australia. In 1987 Henry moved to London continuing to specialize in entertainment marketing where he joined Harvey Goldsmith Entertainment – Europe’s largest concert promoter.
