After graduating in Performance Design and Production at the University of Leeds, John joined the events division of Northern Light in Edinburgh where he worked in various roles for a decade delivering bespoke live events across Scotland. He concluded his time there as Operations Manager overseeing the safe delivery of events like Enchanted Forest and the technical teams for Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

Moving to join the team in Perth in 2017 John managed the merging of Perth’s two venue technical team structure into one harmonious department covering all activities, reflecting best practice in the world of Theatre and Live Events. He was instrumental in managing the safety of the organisation throughout the pandemic and sat as a member of the advisory panel created by the Federation of Scottish Theatre to guide the Scottish Government in reopening venues, and most critically played a role in enabling Perth Concert Hall to be the first venue in Scotland to host a live performance when permitted.

John holds qualifications in C&G NA7909, IOSH Level 3 and in undertaking LOLER inspections alongside his more routine industry competencies.
