I think I have read enough and will say first of all ZombieDan you need to get ALOT more business sense...whilst you have made money this is not for ripping people off!

 

I was recommended this event by a friend who booked on one of your early events. So I recommended this to a friend who was having his stag do, sure enough the best man booked the stag do and traveled to the Venue of 'The Stan' or 'Site 61' or whatever it is called now. To be met by nothing apart from a guy who explained the site was closed. After being as helpful as possible one of the guys tried to call 'Dan' on the phone but to no success, eventually he answered and fobbed it off as 'WE SENT YOU AN EMAIL' I am sorry but I have run a business for years and if this was me I would of called, put on twitter, put on facebook about the events been cancelled, something more than an email, or was this just the 'easy' route to avoid any backlash? I can guess which one.

 

I don't know who you think you are 'Dan' but you are making out everyone else except you is wrong, stand up and be counted instead of sat blaming everyone else but you!

 

I think it's only time before you upset the wrong person.

 

In regards to not paying people and refunds, I have another friend who booked in and spent £700 with you June and as yet no idea whether this event will run or not. This is for her sons birthday and I don't think you realise you are messing with peoples lives and excitement.

 

As I liked Zombie Xperience on Facebook I have seen that you have opened up venue after venue. Is this by taking advance bookings and using the money to pay for other places?

 

I hope it all catches up with you and you fall heavily as you have messed with a lot of peoples lives and if some of the posts are to be believed then you seem to be living like a millionaire with no care for anyone else.

 

You are a bully with no business sense which has blatantly had a bit of success but trust me kid, to run a company properly takes more than what you have got.

 

And in regards to not paying I know a lad that works/worked for you and his dad has informed me of exactly how you deal with people and how you conduct business.

 

I will sign this off as a personal review

 

AVOID Zombiexperience! and DO NOT BOOK Zombiexperience EVER!!!

right then.. here goes... to answer all the above...

your right. i do need a lot more business sense... never ever denied that for a second... this business started with one single post on facebook and has turned into the biggest business of its kind in the uk within the space of 6 months. i am in over my head, wont deny that for a second..

i have never said i am wrong, i merely stated fact, and replied to blond accusations that had no truth to them.

as for the current state of the site, i really cannot comment. i took the site on in february, hiring from someone that already had a business running there. i was assured time and time again that all h&s was sorted, planning etc etc (by multiple persons).

then when i personally invited h&s onto the site, it turns out the previous tenant had been ignoring sheffield councils h&s officer. so in turn, this meant the site had to be closed to protect both my staff and customers. i knew this would more than likely happen when i invited him down, but i cant risk the safety of anyone purely to run events.

i have been given a list of tasks to do to bring the site up to speed (its not that much of a list in all fairness).. and things are progressing as expected and planned. the h&s officer is away until monday on annual leave so am waiting for him to get back to me.

the new venues that are opening are confirmed, set in stone and good to go. they dont need payment form me or the business, its a totally different set up to the sheffield site. not that it is of anyones concerns to be fair.

i have had plenty if events run without any issues in sheffield, and the events have been tremendous hits. yes. sheffield is now experiencing issues, its comes with using derelict and abandoned sites.it cant be helped, i would rather let people down and stop events than put lives at risk.

yes, i have a lot to learn, i dont know how to run a business properly, my manners may not be liked.. never have i denied this...

i never expected the business to do so well or grow so fast. i had one idea on facebook, and then all this happened...

what your 'mate' seemingly hasnt told you, is what has happened behind the scenes in sheffield..... that would give you a totally different outlook on the way things are at the moment.

SO INA NUTSHELL, YES, I AM HUMAN, I HAVE MADE MISTAKES, I NEED TO LEARN ALOT.. THE LIST IS ENDLESS.. I AM NOT PERFECT.

BUT I AM GOING TO LEARN FROM THESE MISTAKES AND MAKE THE FUTURE A BETTER (AND MORE ORGANISED ONE)....

ALOT OF THIS BOILS DOWN TO ONE SIMPLE FACT, I STILL, TO THIS DAY, RUN THE BUSINESS SINGLE HANDED, AS WELL AS LOOK AFTER AND CARE FOR MY FAMILY. ITS A LOT TO TAKE ON, BUT IF YOUR MATE HAD TOLD YOU ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE BEING IN SHEFFIELD, YOU WOULD KNOW, TRUSTING SOMEONE IS HARD FOR ME AFTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

ANYHOWS, AM SURE THERE WILL BE MORE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ABOUT ME, THE WAY I AM..... I DONT CARE. I AM TRYING MY BEST TO TURN A CRAP SITUATION INTO A GOOD ONE.

APOLOGIES TO ALL

DAN

Thanks ZombieDan. I took your advice and rang Sheffield City Council a few minutes ago.

 

They tell me that the "notice has been served and still stands"...

"the work that was requested to make the site safe for use HAS NOT been carried out and therefore the site is still not fit for use and remains CLOSED"

 

Might I add that you are very quick and aggressive in your defense. You quite clearly have things to hide and cover up. You are still telling lies and still not being honest.

 

I have still not been paid and neither have the rest of the zombies that have worked hard for your events and clearing up the site ready for re opening. Doubt we will ever see any payment! You have just ripped us off like the customers!

 

If anybody wants to check before they make the journey to the site for an event that probably will not happen Sheffield City Council Health And Safety is: 0114 273 4653

again, how about you say your name... as your statement 'and the rest of the zombies' is clearly not right lol... funny that you cant put your name. i merely mentioned sheffield council as you have made it out to be permanently closed, which it is not... the h&s officer dealing with the site is on leave until the 9th, he is fully up to speed with all work carried out.

so come on then.... stop hiding behind a made up username, as you clearly dont know what you are talking about.. i can quite happily ask for staff to message you stating that they have in fact been paid...

so ball is in your park now 'no-name'......

or are you just a keyboard warrior trying to cause a stir and troll.....

i used to work on this site for zombie xperience until i stopped getting paid. Then all i got was excuse after excuse...

-ive just had a baby

-the banks havent honoured the cheques for security reasons

-we've had to open a new bank account

-we have got too big too quick so need an accountant

-its in the hands of the accountant i cant do anything

-it will be with you via bacs in three days

*****still not been paid for 4 weeks work*****

 

the stories of people turning up to an empty site are true and from what i know customers are having to fight for their money back. There is no communication from dan and he is letting a lot of people, staff and cuustomers down... My question is... Where is the money for wages and refunds??!!

 

eVEN if i get paid (unlikely) i wont be going back.... too many lies and false promises.... check his facebook out though, lots of nice new cars and motorbikes.....

 

Dan was hardly ever at the sheffield site. the guy that ran it for him fro what i understand is in the same boat as me and a lot of other "employees".

 

The site has been closed presently due to health and safety reasons... in short Sheffield Council have declared it unsafe and unfit for purpose and issued a Cease And Desist notice with IMMEDIATE effect. (this is no secret, there is an A4 Laminated notice Gaffa taped tot he entrance) from what the guys in the unit next door was saying, its unlikely to be given the green light until a lot of money is spent on it.

CHECK BEFORE YOU VENTURE OUT TO PLAY!!!!!

what a load of bull***

clearly dont know what you are talking about.

the guy that used to run the events stabbed the business in the back and has copied it creating a duplicate copy of the event. he was deceitful and lied for months.

yes, the site was shut for a fortnight, but i suggest you contact sheffield council as your clearly have no idea what your talking about.

sounds to me like someone that has gone to work for the other person and is clearly trying to discredit the business...

jokes on you you nameless fool
