Michael Harris-Wakelam
Chief Executive Officer
Largely found in meetings with our key stakeholders and at other networking events to develop opportunities to further our reach and work, do get in touch if you want to take him out of our office and off our hands for a few hours!
Michael has worked in the arts and charity sector for around 15 years across Leicestershire and the Midlands. With key roles as Theatre Manager for The Y Theatre, Melton Theatre, and other organisations.
He was part of piloting and developing our BIG Weekends in Melton Mowbray and more recently oversaw The Y Theatre and their award winning streak as the Best Venue at Leicester Comedy Festival in 2022 & 2023.
Other roles include a spell as Director for Melton BID and committee membership of the Purple Flag Steering Group and Melton Promotions. He is most likely to be found attached to a bottle of Pepsi Max in the workplace or on one of his many adventures with his wife and 2 children.
