Matt Hudson, our outgoing Studios and Events Manager, reflects on his time working at Siobhan Davies Studios.
As Studios and Events Manager, Matt manages all commercial hires, from thinking about advertising to the delivery of events. Mat also supports studio users (residencies, rehearsals or events) in the building as a technician. Importantly, with the rest of the housekeeping team, he looks after the practical maintenance of the building.

This role has really allowed me
to explore my strengths and weaknesses and has grown along with me. I have
enjoyed learning new skills and developing professionally.
The most important thing
about it?
My role is to keep the building
ticking. I help bring in the money to support the building and make sure it
doesn’t fall down in the process. That seems pretty important right?
Proudest moment?
I have worked hard to increase
the hires income to support the increasing costs of the building. I am proud of
the progress we have made as a team over the last year and to be leaving behind
a strong foundation for the future. Plus, I have had the pleasure of working
some amazing weddings.

I am going on to be the Deputy
Building Manager of an immersive theatre company.
A final word of warning for
your successor...?
Make sure that you keep on top
of things and don’t put anything off longer than necessary, events come around
quickly and odd DIY jobs can turn into larger problems if not dealt with. Plus, people will keep reminding you it's broken!
You need to be good at wearing
different hats whilst juggling various tools (figuratively obviously). Don’t
worry though I have left a handover document to help start you off.
