In the late 1990s I was an envelope stuffer and general assistant at Warwick Arts Centre when Kate Horton was Marketing Director. I learned a huge amount observing her work. She combined instinct with rigour, was endlessly charming and had a real passion for theatre. What influenced me most though was how she managed a team – I was on the lowest rung of the ladder but she always made me feel like a co-conspirator.
