Karl Cockram BA (hons)
Graduction day 2012
Born on 8th Sept 1990, I have spent most of my life growing up in Oldham. It was by chance I took an opportunity that would change my life forever and since that day, I have been working in the industry for about 7 years, and loved every minute of it. I Trained at The Oldham College and gained a BTEC National Diploma in Production Arts (Technical).
I went on to University Campus Oldham (Part of the University of Huddersfield) and studied Technical Theatre for two years and was awarded a Foundation Degree in Technical Theatre. I went on to the University of Huddersfield where I topped my degree up to a BA with Hons in Technical Theatre. I also work at the Gracie Fields Theatre within the Technical Department amongst other roles within the business.
I pride myself on being friendly and enthusiastic team worker, who is adaptable to any situation. Eager to learn new skills and will remain professional and hard-working at all times. I have great Customer Service skills and team leadership skills though working at WHSmith. The rest of my work experience is in Stage Management through working at Gracie Fields Theatre, Rochdale, and The University of Huddersfield.
