Soho Theatre Walthamstow appoints Co-Executive Director

SAM HANSFORD is returning to Soho Theatre Walthamstow as Co-Executive Director. 

While working as the theatre’s Business Development Manager until 2018, Hansford contributed to the development of Soho Theatre's second venue in Walthamstow.

In this newly created role, he will work alongside Executive Director and CEO MARK GODFREY as they prepare to open the theatre in spring next year. 

Hansford is re-joining Soho Theatre after working as Executive Director and joint CEO at Mountview in Peckham and says he is “delighted” to be returning. 

“I first set foot in what was the Walthamstow Granada nearly 10 years ago, and I’m so excited to continue to play a part in seeing it filled again with artists and audiences, creating brilliant opportunities for local residents and amazing new live experiences for audiences and artists from across London and beyond,” Hansford commented.

Godfrey added: “Sam joined us early in his career and went from strength to strength at Soho, before going to some great roles elsewhere”.

"He’s an enormous talent and we’re all looking forward to working closely with him as we launch Soho Theatre Walthamstow.”
