Stark Industry Entertainment

Kieran Turley, 32, living in Castleford, born and raised in Middlesbrough. Have been cosplaying for 11 years. Generally a huge marvel geek and sparked the passion really from the first Iron Man movie so my first proper cosplay was Iron Man, Mark 47. That was essentially the start of my profession, originally part time working around my role in hospitality as a manager and then expanded so much it became full time into entertainment. Absolutely love the element where kids and adults meet their heroes without having to go to the likes of Disney World or big major attractions and of course the loving communities you can become a part of.
