Graham Colvan

Technical Site Manager, Edinburgh International Book Festival

“My role involves planning and installing lighting, heating, cooling – anything technical and outdoors, including flooding! I have a strong memory of the end of a long, late night of many issues, being very wet and cold , and getting handed a couple of cups of coffee and two bacon rolls – one from press and marketing and one from security, just to make sure that I was OK. That’s why I love it – if you’ve had a hard time, your colleagues are always there for you.”
