"Just a wee note to say a HUGE thank you to you and Mark for my awards on Saturday night. Mark was absolutely amazing and the feedback so far has been excellent. He was ever the professional and I think he enjoyed it too. Hope to work again with you guys in the future... I've messaged Mark directly and conveyed my thanks. Honestly, he was blooming Awesome with a capital A" - Sharon, Events Manager, DC Thomson Media, The Courier Business Awards
"Mark was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be suggesting him to other clients for their awards!" - Hairdressing Business Awards
"Mark was fantastic as our awards host...He really resonated with the audience, and obviously spent some time doing his homework on the event and the audience that would be attending. His humour and light-hearted but professional approach worked really well and elevated the event to a new level. This is quite a hard event to host but Mark’s approach and control of the audience were just what was required – he really kept their attention. Mark also spent time after the awards ceremony chatting with our guests and generally made himself available, which was really appreciated by all those that attended. He was funny, charismatic and related well to the audience" - Adobe Channel Awards
"I would thoroughly recommend Mark as an awards host for corporate events. His fun, vibrant style really helped create an excellent atmosphere, and he had obviously done a lot of research in his own time on the presenters and winners of our awards, as he ad-libbed stories about them throughout the night. He stayed on to celebrate with the winners after the awards, and we were so pleased we booked him" - Visit Chester and Chesire Annual Awards
"Mark is one of the best presenters I have worked with. He has rare attention to detail and work rate that most other presenters could learn from. He quickly establishes a relationship with the audience and always manages to be funny without being offensive and serious when the occasion requires it" - Awards for Business Limited
