"Greg recently hosted Enterprising Barnsley's Connected Business Conference. As an event speaker I was impressed by, and appreciated, Greg's presentation and hosting skills. The popularity of the event and subsequent delegate queue meant that the event couldn't start at the time planned. Greg managed the smooth running of the agenda, set the tone of the day with a thought-provoking introduction, and facilitated a fluid panel discussion that I was flattered to be part of. I would recommend Greg both as a speaker and as a moderator" - Linda Cheung
