Daniel Hurring

Global Operations Director

and sexiest man in the office! Recently awarded an Oscar for his performances.

Sophie Docker

Sales and Marketing whizz, general get-involved-with-everything kind of girl and recent bearer of the latest edition to the Sunrise family, baby Oscar!

Jake Ewen: Creative Director
Wolf-boy from the Sunrise Circus and Science meta-head, Jake is also overseerer of all things creative here at Sunrise. Website designer and face behind sunrise on facebook, he's also the artist behind all the Sunrise graphics! He is a busy boy!

In the past he has been web contents manager for Mushroom records and helped set up PondLife Studios, a company specialising in the production and sale of music by ‘festival’ acts. Past accolades include being one of the founding members of the 'Utrophia' arts network in London.

Jake was Music booker and Graphic Designer for the 2007-09 Sunrise Celebrations, being instrumental in establishing the image of the event. He booked all the live acts for the 2007 Waveform Project Festival and was also project coordinator for Sunrise@The Big Chill in 2008. He personally developed Rising Stars, our online Creative Platform for artists.

Justin Green: Finance Manager
All hail our finance dude.
Justin is in his second year with Sunrise, and, despite continual threats to leave for something better, combined with pulling out further clumps of aetheric hair, is still smiling. He is a highly motivated and articulate individual with a wealth of experience, who has always proved to be a loyal and productive member of staff. He has an established track record of working as a top business producer in a highly regulated industry and more recently shown my ability to project manage complex situations and man manage large teams of people in challenging circumstances. Previous positions include Mortgage specialist at Barclays and CGA. His festival experience has been developed through working as General Manager of GTickets Ltd, where he was in charge of day-to-day operations and of generating new clients. From this position, he became project manager and team leader of gate management operations at various festivals including Glade and Secret Garden Party. He has worked in the Sunrise Festival box office for 3 years, as representative of GTickets.

Jane Healy

Production Manager and Office Babe. (N.B. Don't f*ck with her.)

Yasmin Bloomfield

Carnival of Life Coordinator and lip-glossie-hottie.

Can always be relied upon when needed (as long as the sun isn't shining and its not lunchtime - the longest of which has lasted nearly a week)

See her erecting Graffiti boards alone at this year's Sunrise Celebration!

Vicki Steward

Creative Production Manager and Village Green Coordinator

Vicki Purple first ran away with the festivals in 1987. Her previous jobs include occult bookseller, band manager and working in a music venue. She has been working with the Sunrise Celebration since 2006. In the first year she accidentally became Procurements Officer purely because there was no one else to do it. She has fulfilled various roles since then, mostly doing the tasks that no one else wanted to do. She is one of the people in the office that can spell and compose a sentence in reasonable English, and consequently has a wholly undeserved reputation as a pedant. At Sunrise Off-Grid she took the opportunity to do some creative production, co-ordinating the Crafts and Alt Tech area, and will be doing more of the same in the future. She has also worked at numerous other festivals throughout the UK on box office, gates, steward co-ordination, crew ticketing, security comms and washing up. She likes handsome bearded men that can beat her in an argument, but sadly meets too few of them.

Kat Ritchie

Press officer and community liason, rather good at finding THE place to be.. or making it happen wherever she is!
