For the last 10 years I have built up and run a small successful business supplying audio and lighting systems, technical personnel and production services to corporate clients and the entertainment industry.

As part of the Formula E tour, I have been working with Heart Productions to deliver brand activations within the E Village. This has ranged from overseeing the building of structures to helping manage local crews on-site and even laying temporary flooring. An 'all hands on deck' approach and some tough weather conditions have made for some interesting scenarios. The tour has seen the team travel through Europe, Africa and the Americas.

As a freelancer I've worked on a wide range of events for Full Circle and the Vibration Group. From European tours with Facebook to experiential events and product launches, as well as one off sporting and large live music events. The roles require a high standard of live audio knowledge and an ability to work under pressure, whilst also being able to liaise with the client directly and manage their needs and expectations on site. I've also been drafted in to work at some of their flagship event spaces at Landing 42, Old Billingsgate and OXO2.

I’ve been working as part of the in-house technical team at Westfield for just under 10 years on many varied events. I’ve dealt with a whole manner of tasks from installing, aligning, maintaining and running various sound systems as well as other technical equipment, driving and managing crews on stage builds, small and large activations and the overnight get outs as well as overseeing external companies during event builds. I’ve lead the sound crew on their bigger events such as the prestigious Mayor Of London Gigs Final as well as working on their large scale music events with Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga and recent live streams with Ocean Live of Lewis Capaldi concerts. In addition I’ve also helped grow their in-house entertainment programme ‘Westfield Presents’ which has received great acclaim from both senior Westfield management and outside awards bodies.

I’ve been working with Tech Music Schools for nearly 8 years now. In that time I've advised on the sound reinforcement facilities at showcases and in the school, engineered shows, managed the technical aspects of some of the larger events and liaised with venues directly on their behalf. Most events will require me to manage a small team of 1-3 technicians on site.

My business partner and I established ourselves over a short 2 and a half year period and ran a successful production company. Working with agencies and a selection of music artists we took care of all things technical for events and music concerts. From pitching to the end client with a concept, to design and implementation and delivery; we offered both a turnkey solution as well as bolstering existing equipment onsite. Culminating in our largest event; a music festival in a nature reserve for 3000 people in a big top for a large insurance company. We managed everything on-site from temporary structures to technical installation to power to security and even toilets. Artists we worked with included Craig David, Kaiser Chiefs, The Feeling and Rick Parfit Jnr, alongside companies such as the BBC and Bafta.
