Whether promoting sporting events, concerts, live shows and theatre, one-off major events or whole touring spectaculars, Tony Cochrane’s passion and experience forge a formidable combination and have ultimately resulted in some unforgettable milestones in Australian entertainment, sports management and sport generally over the past 40 years.

Tony has made the stage his own from the Gold Coast in Australia. Not only with the formation and execution of V8 Supercars but along the way he has collected a Tony, from the American Theatre, a couple of Aria’s and is internationally recognized for his efforts in taking V8 Supercars to the world.
