Starting his career working in the technical department of his local youth theatre in Salisbury as a teenager, Skeats went on to study a diploma in Performing Arts, Technical Theatre at Southampton City College and then a Live Event Technology degree at the University of Glamorgan. Throughout his studies Carl gained all the production experience he could, working part-time at both the Mayflower Theatre and Nuffield Theatre in Southampton and, later, at Buxton Opera House.
More recently, his experience includes stage crew at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading, production coordinator at HTB Church in South Kensington and freelance sound engineer for, amongst others, Kensington Temple in West London. He also recently spent a year with SFL in Reading working as trainee production engineer.
Carl joined LMC in September, while PLASA 2012 was taking place. He comments, "Joining during the PLASA week, I got a chance to meet lots of customers and suppliers, whilst learning more about LMC Audio itself and its position in the industry."
