Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay, but I would like to introduce myself as the final member of your South West England, and Wales Community Chairs troika. Yes, I think we need an Oxford comma, but am happy to discuss this at the first meeting.
My current role is as Database Manager for Mayflower Theatre and MAST Mayflower Studios in Southampton. I have been in my current post since 2017 and prior to that I have also been part of the Front of House and Box Office teams. In total I have worked for Mayflower Theatre for 17 years.
I work as part of the Database team with my colleagues Chris Campbell and Sam Bourne and my role covers most aspects of CRM management. Similar to Kirsty we offer support to the ticketing team and other departments as well as being responsible for all show set-up and general maintenance.
I have been involved in the Tessitura community for a while, having attended many of the Ticketing and Admin group meet ups as well as a few conferences in Europe and the US.
Away from work I am an enthusiatic and frequent gig goer and I try to attend the Scotland national football team matches as often as possible. I also play football and cycle and enjoy travel, cinema, eating out, reading and accidentally drinking too much at Tessitura conferences.
Like my other co-chairs I am eager to get our regional group up and running and to have an inaugural meeting in the near future. As a first step we have compiled a short jotform questionnaire to gauge interest and it would be great if as many of you as possible can fill it out. I will post this in a separate discussion in case I have bored you silly and you haven't made it down this far.
