Summary

I am an enthusiastic about working well in a team and seeing a good plan come together. I am resourceful and show tenacity when facing difficulties with a project I am lead on.

Work history

Crew Coordinator

Leeds, West Yorkshire
2024.03 - Current

Managed the total delivery of Jobs from start to finish, from client contact, creating quotes and budgets, in some cases over 6 figures, assembling teams from our freelance database, creating communication for the crew and then supervising the delivery of the job on site.

Working closely with the client and my team to ensure information is passed clearly between the two; I prioritise good first impressions and working on building rapport.

Due to the size small size of our team at TMC, I also have taken on the responsibility of creating all onboarding handbooks and guides for new crew and new events.

Events Crew

The Music Consortium

Worked as freelance crew member to accompany my studies at university.

Often committing to the whole festival season, I built up my reputation from being on small stages in teams of 3/4 to my final season in 2023 where I worked exclusively on main stages.

The role combines the need to look after oneself in a fast paced environment while also ensuring you are working safely but effectively with your colleagues and the touring personnel from bands who you'll only be with for half a day at most.

One example stands out in particular, Download 2023, where half the stagehands where from TMC and the other half from a different company, after some initial teething issues due to differences in working culture, we talked those out and by Sunday where a well-oiled machine.

Skills

I believe one my major strengths is my communication, both written and verbal - I am someone who needs to understand why as well as what, and I feel this translates into how I communicate what I need from the crew in my current position - It's important for people to understand their value in a team
