What I Work On
The night-time economy doesn’t operate in isolation. I look at the whole experience. From the customer and the operator to the wider place.
01.
NTE Strategy
Helping towns, destinations and partnerships understand where their night-time economy is now, where it could go, and what needs to change.
02.
Venue & Operator Reviews
Independent, practical reviews of venues and businesses. Looking at the customer experience, operations, positioning and opportunities for improvement.
03.
Safety & Resilience
Looking beyond individual incidents to understand how venues, operators, partners and places can build safer, more resilient night-time environments.
04.
Customer Experience
Understanding what people actually experience after dark. From arrival and entertainment through to closing time and getting home.
05.
Town Centre & Place
Looking at the wider environment around the night-time economy. Public realm, culture, hospitality, transport, footfall, investment and the overall experience of the place.
06.
Culture & Entertainment
Exploring how music, live entertainment, theatre, events, food, hospitality and independent businesses can create a more diverse and compelling night-time offer.
07.
Partnership & Engagement
Connecting the people who shape the night. Operators, councils, police, businesses, cultural organisations, visitor economy partners and communities.
08.
Research & Insight
Turning data, observation, stakeholder views and customer feedback into clear insight that can inform better decisions.
ON THE GROUND, ONLINE
Bringing night time economy safety to life through content
I create authentic, engaging content that shines a light on the real night-time economy. From door staff and frontline teams to DJs, safety measures and the initiatives that help keep people safe.
My work has reached over 1 million views and been shared by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Middlesbrough Council.
Whether you’re a stakeholder or organisation looking to raise awareness of safety initiatives, promote the services available to people on a night out, or communicate important safety messages, I create content that connects with audiences and brings these initiatives to life.
Making safety visible. Raising awareness. Reaching the people who need it.

About Me
I'VE LIVED THE NIGHT.
NOW I HELP SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT.
CUSTOMER, DJ, PROMOTER, MANAGER, OPERATOR, ADVISOR.
I’ve spent more than 25 years in Teesside’s night-time economy, running some of the region’s best-known and longest-standing venues.
Teesside After Dark brings that experience to venues, businesses, partnerships and destinations that want independent, practical advice on a safer and stronger night-time economy.
Safe, successful nights don't come from policy alone. They come from people who understand how venues really operate.
