John was born and brought up in Bolton and trained at Bolton Institute and the Northern Actors Centre. He has appeared in several films, television, corporates and voice-overs.

“I was born and brought up in Bolton. I made a late entry into acting in 1989. At that time I had just received a managerial promotion with Hewlett-Packard and attended a Drama and Public Speaking course in order to be more confident giving presentations. However, I much preferred the drama to the public speaking which prompted me to start attending local theatre auditions. Since then I have appeared in and directed many theatre productions”.
