Bio
Tom Hunter
I'm delighted to recommend Charlie's work as the intern on LondonCalling.com over Summer 2012. Charlie worked as part of the editorial team with responsibilities including content management, press liaison and feature writing, and now having returned to University continues to work with the team as a freelance contributor to the website. Simply put Charlie was an exceptional member of the team and a pleasure to have onboard. He swiftly took on the complexities of content generation and management, and contributed a range of great feature articles and interviews to the site, which he arranged directly with venue and agency PR teams. I'd recommend Charlie for his enthusiasm for every task we asked him to cover, his writing talent and his ability to both generate creative ideas and get things done.

I've had the pleasure of working with Charlie over the past couple of months. He's intelligent, hard working, self motivated, polite and an all round excellent employee. Were he not returning to university next week I would very much have wanted him to stay on with us. I'll still definitely ask him to keep working with us when he can and I would hope he will be able to return here in the future when he looks to start his professional career.

Resident Director - War Horse
-
Nov 2018 - Apr 2020
As Resident Director on the War Horse UK & International Tour 2019-20 I was responsible for maintaining the quality of the show as it toured around the world, and working with the large cast throughout an 18-month period. These responsibilities extended to ensuring the consistency of performances, directing all understudies, adapting the staging to be most effective in every space we visited, facilitating educational workshops and giving media interviews. It was a challenging and thrilling role that saw us visit the likes of Dublin, Paris, Hong Kong, Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney, before Covid-19 sadly cut the tour short. Show less
