About Us

Hello! We are Lucy Hutchison and Eilidh McCormick, the directors of Set Ready Kids. We have been friends for 20 years and both have a huge passion for working with young people.

With extensive experience working on sets, in theatres, audition rooms and on location, we bring specialist skills in coaching at every stage of production.

In founding Set Ready Kids, we wanted to ensure that every young person has a positive and supportive experience whilst working professionally. We hope to give them the confidence and tools to navigate whatever their next steps may be.

This ethos has inspired us to lead Set Ready Kids and bring together a world class team of like-minded coaches and co-ordinators.
