KAREN FORREST
SECRETARY / PA to The SU Crew

I have been with S.U. for 8 years now. I am the office organiser and generally keep things running as smoothly as is possible and that can be quite difficult as things get very busy with so much going on here.
There are compilation albums being made by Mark and the crew and licensing contracts to keep track of as well as the licensing enquires we get for our music.
There are publishing forms to fill and invoices to be raised.
It’s quite difficult keeping track of the DJ’s and MC’s movements for bookings as they are in such demand by many promoters.
Plus there is the mail-order and stock control to keep on top of as well as the general everyday office duties such as filing, invoicing, typing letters and contracts and answering the telephone etc.

Mark is generally a very relaxed in his attitude to the work as we all know when things have to be done by but it can sometimes be quite stressful when its all going on at the same time but everyone knows there jobs so it always gets done!
I am in the office between 11am and 5PM but only on alternate days as Mark spends a lot of time in the studios and likes to keep things layback in the office.
You will usually find my voice on the end of the phone, as I have to vet all the calls to Mark so he can get his work done!
I keep Marks diary for interviews, meetings and any DJ bookings.
If the answer machine is on then I am not in the office!
