From Ipswich, UK, Stephen has most recently made major changes at the New Wolsey Theatre, Ipswich in his previous role as Head of Communications.

Previous roles at the New Wolsey have included Head of Sales and Marketing, Sales and Programme Manager, and Deputy Front of House Manager. Stephen has honed his customer service and leadership skills in positions around the UK including Customer Service Manager at Manchester’s Library Theatre (now known as HOME), and Deputy Front of House Manager at London’s largest West-End venue, The Apollo Victoria, at the start of the West End transfer for the Broadway Musical Wicked.

Stephen’s experience outside of the UK arts industry include his work as Customer Service Team Manager at Virgin Atlantic Airways, where he enjoyed Virgin’s exceptional Leadership and Customer Service training programmes.
