I am the Senior Technical Manager for Live Entertainment at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) and OVO Hydro, where I lead a dedicated team of Technical Production Managers. Together, we oversee the technical production requirements for a diverse range of live events, including music, comedy, sport, and theatre, across the OVO Hydro, SEC Armadillo, and SEC Centre.
In 2024, we successfully hosted 146 performances at the OVO Hydro, attracting over 1.3 million visitors.
Beyond event delivery, I also contribute to venue enhancement projects. In 2024 this included the installation of one of Scotland's largest indoor LED screens within the public concourse of the OVO Hydro.
With more than 17 years of experience in the live events industry, I joined the SEC in 2019. Before this, I worked as an Account Manager at a leading UK rental supplier, where I launched their Scottish rental operation for event lighting and video.
I began my career as a lighting technician in Liverpool’s nightclubs and music venues, later touring UK arenas and concert halls with a variety of musical and comedy artists.
In 2014, I transitioned into office and venue-based roles, where I have since built my career in technical and production management.
