Live & Local Team
John Laidlaw
Executive Director
Full-time
john@liveandlocal.org.uk
John has been with Live & Local since it began in 1991 (formerly the Warwickshire Village & Community Touring Scheme). Starting out as a freelancer contracted by Warwickshire County Council, he then set the scheme up as an independent organisation (Warwickshire Community Arts) with ‘Live & Local’ as just one of the projects the company managed. Eventually the Warwickshire and Staffordshire schemes were joined together and the Company became Live & Local to reflect its concentration on the touring scheme. John is the current Chair of the NRTF (National Rural Touring Forum).
