About me

I am highly creative, enthusiastic and driven.
After graduating in Popular music from the University of Gloucestershire I’ve spent over 15 years in technical provision to the entertainment industry. I have gained experience in sales, project management, resource planning and logistics, account management and marketing. I have extensive knowledge of a wide range technology applications.

I am confident and outgoing, well travelled, extremely conscientious, reliable and trustworthy with a positive, ‘can do’ approach to every task I undertake. Able to work as part of a team, but equally comfortable using my own initiative to get the job done.

I’m a keen musician with a passion for music, travel and cooking.
