About me

I am currently working as a freelancer technician in the theatre and events area on events and shows all over the UK from the basic setting up a microphones and lights to full theatrical shows, to looking after a whole site electrics, equipment and staffing for large scale events over a number of day and nights. I also do PAT Testing for a number of theatres in the Leicester area on days where I'm not working on events.

I also currently work as a casual technician at the Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre, Birmingham Royal Ballet, DeMontfort Hall and Birmingham Alexandra Theatre, being one of the many team members helping set up and break down large and small scale shows and events on the lighting, sound set-up side and rigging, also programming the lighting desk and operating the follow spot for shows which require these positions filled.

I am an enthusiastic, energetic person, with good interpersonal skills, having had much experience, in many areas of the theatrical and entertainment world.

I am frequently called to resolve all manner of problems in the theatre and usually have a good working answer for the problem or issue. I am quite prepared to work unsociable hours, and to be involved with both basic tasks and those requiring more advanced skills, to attain a post which will be both rewarding and challenging to me.
