Matt has been leading the RED team since 2012 when the company was previously known as MBM. Prior to producing, Matt worked as an Actor for 10 years, which is where he gained insight into every area of the theatrical business and found a keen interest stretching across all of them. The only role that could fulfil his ambition, business mindset and creativity was the Producer. Matt’s goal with RED is to grow the company alongside the theatres, mutually benefiting all parties which in turn produces a better working environment on the UK Touring circuit. Matt is also an avid fan of doughnuts

Mike’s career to date has certainly been varied – For the first 15 years he worked as a Stand-up Comic, Actor, and Singer (But drew the line at trying to dance!) Then in 2009 he went into producing and writing shows himself. After 10 years and with a number of successful tours under his belt, Mike is now asked to work with other producers to bring his knowledge and expertise to their productions. When not working, he can usually be found, being attacked by his 4 year old son Henry! Or being asked to tackle some form of house hold DIY that his wife Kelly has decided should be done. …. (Failing that, he will be hiding in his man cave at the bottom of the garden)
