Recognised for my relaxed, personal, friendly, professional approach, my attention to detail and creative thinking, my role is about holding an event together, keeping guests informed about what’s happening when, ensuring everything flows as it should and making sure those at the centre of the event stay chilled and enjoy a memorable day. Dressed in my distinctive red tailcoat, I also aim to add a few extra touches which have helped build my reputation as the professional Toastmaster – with a difference!  

The foundations of that reputation were laid in my PR and communications career, a time when l built those all-important people skills and recognised the importance of teamwork, timings and keeping people informed; introducing events, speaking at conferences, planning and staging major community and corporate events, including royal visits and military parades - going on to plan and present concerts, awards nights and many other events. Experience matters!
