About me
Currently freelance lighting technician for many hire/supply companies, corporate production management, UK touring LX number 2 and live music Festivals. I have also been warehouse manager and warehouse technician for a lighting hire company. I have current Public Liability insurance.As well as the above I'm also regularly working with several different national number 1 theatre receiving the UK and Europe's Number 1 shows and live music venues.
I am used to working with many different aspects of production and entertainment. I relish the opportunity of challenges within the industry and am willing to take on many roles.
I have worked as a sound technician and operated many productions on various analogue consoles.
Mainly working in production electrics for both theatre and rock and roll events I have experience working with moving lights (most manufacturers) both rigging, maintaining and repairing. Along with this all types of generic fixtures and most dimming systems.
I have worked from a position of casual tech through to full time and then chief technician an in most recent previous Full Time employment as technical manager. Throughout this time I have gained knowledge in lighting, sound, stage management, set construction. I have worked closely with touring companies for many years having worked for a very busy receiving house. I have always enjoyed the challenge of creating events and meeting the explicit deadlines of live performance.
