Staff

CEO Office

• Chief Executive - Mary Cloake

  Telephone 0151 702 5324 Email anne.j@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: Seeing as I work here it seems strange to say one of the best things about the Bluecoat is how it constantly surprises you. We work with so many different groups, artists and individuals that you can turn up at the building and something is going on and you just say ‘I didn’t expect that!

• Gallery Coordinator - Denise Courcoux

  Telephone 0151 702 7792 Email denise.c@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: One of my favourite places at the Bluecoat is the galleries, just after a new exhibition has gone up. It’s great to spend that first week getting to know all the new artworks properly, and I’m always impressed by how dramatically the spaces can change.

  Telephone 0151 702 7793 Email barry.c@thebluecoat.org.uk

• Print Studio Manager - Emma Gregory

  Telephone 07708 024528 Email print@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: I like meeting other artists. You could meet a different artist every day if you sat in the cafe downstairs all year round...so some people do!

• Arts Programme Assistant (Temp) - Rachel Goodsall

  Telephone 0151 702 7772. Email rachel.g@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: “My favourite spot is standing on the balcony in the Performance Space during an event, looking out over the audience and stage and soaking in the atmosphere. From international stars to local talent, the room has hosted some amazing and diverse events during the years and I particularly love watching an audience discovering something new.”

  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: The greatest aspect of my role at the Bluecoat is working with exceptionally creative people. It’s inspiring, engaging and educational working with such a diverse group of artists, retailers and industries, all of whom I know to be independent, talented and driven.

Participation Team

• Head of Participation - Bec Fearon

  Telephone 01517027760 Email bec.f@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: My favourite thing about working at the Bluecoat is when a new group visits us for the first time. They are often really nervous and uncertain when they arrive. Then the building, the artwork, the staff and artists work their magic and before you know it they are really enjoying a creative experience here. I love being part of that.

• Blue Room Facilitator - Becky Waite

  Telephone 0151 702 5324 Email becky.w@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: The Bluecoat is a really inclusive place where the doors are always open to everyone. My job is about unlocking creativity in people who may have thought that the arts were not for them, the positive and friendly atmosphere of this place puts people at ease whilst inspiring them to take a chance and join in.

Finance Team

• Director of Finance - Sue Stubbs

  Telephone 0151 702 7776 Email sue.s@thebluecoat.org.uk
  Favourite Space in the Bluecoat: I don’t think there is a more inspirational sight in Liverpool than turning into Church Alley every morning from the chaos of Church Street and seeing the fantastic facade of the Bluecoat, it’s a calming oasis in the hubbub of the City.
