About me
I have over 15 years experience as a stage manager, establishing the first dedicated, professional stage crew to be based in Leeds, which serviced the various venues in both Leeds and Bradford, from the Town & Country Club to St Georges Theatre, the various Universities to the Corn Exchange.I have worked events ranging from small intimate theatre shows through to outdoor multi-stage festivals - with experience in stage builds, temporary structures, production management, full production set up and de-rigs, supervising and running crews, pre-rigging of equipment, set and prop movements and warehousing of equipment.
Additionally, I have worked as a touring stage manager, driver and back line technician for several bands, from rehearsals to full tours in the UK and throughout Europe, occasionally deputising for tour managers when needed.
Until recently, I owned and ran a small lighting company for 4 years, which specialised in Optikinetic Solar 250 lights for hire and installation for various events, theatre, festivals and bands in the north of England.
I am flexible and willing to put in the extra hours when needed. I am a conscientious person and of smart appearance, with excellent time keeping and a very keen eye for detail.
In addition, my communication skills have afforded me the time and ability to engage with a diverse range of people - from touring personnel to venue managers and staff to the personnel I employed directly.
I consider myself to be both professional and dedicated in my approach to work, able to engage within a team or work autonomously
