"Yes it was good thanks... he really delivered. His speech was spot on, really enjoyable and everything we had asked for. Then he participated in the rest of the night with the awards, raffle and auction raising loads of money for charity. He was very kind to everybody and had his picture with everyone who asked, everyone said what a delight he was. It was an honour having Martin at our event, thank you to you, Laura and everyone at Champions for arranging this for us" - Selina, Events Manager, The Construction Training Academy
"The event was a great success and Martin did a fantastic job. Martin worked the room well and managed a somewhat lively audience when needed! He was really helpful with keeping the event on track and having to ad/lib improvise when needed. Very popular with the ladies in the audience!" - Nicola, Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce
"What I have learned so far has exceeded anything that i could have hoped for and this makes the future of property investing a reality" - Student Review
"The training has changed my life beyond all recognition. I'm now effectively a lady of leisure. i invest in property as and when i want to. I've set up a lettings business which I've now sold on and i now spend time doing things in life i want to rather than having to go to work to earn money." - Student Review
"Just a brief note to thank you again for the excellent job you did in moderating this event and indeed helping make it the best yet – ‘excellent’ was also how the vast majority of the delegates rated you on their feed-back forms. You did a great job linking all the presentations using both gravitas and humour. You also got the panel session buzzing which I suspect we could have run for another hour without losing the momentum. I look forward to working with you next year." - David Hewett, ARMA
"I would like to extend our most grateful thanks to you for being the auctioneer at our Summer Ball held at Blenheim Palace last weekend. It was a wonderful evening and I am delighted to tell you we raised over £100,000. We could not have done this without your skills, so thank you so much!" - Laura, Make A Wish Foundation
"Your recent presentation on the current state of the UK property market to the lawyers, barristers and judges attending our annual conference was extremely well received. You struck the perfect balance between up to date information and analysis, and a light hearted overview of the situation as you see it ‘at the coalface’. I have heard nothing but positive comments in the days following you’re appearance." - Graham, Atlantic Chambers
"Martin recently hosted the Thames Hospicecare Summer Charity Ball. He was also our fantastic Auctioneer for the night and managed to raise a huge amount of money for us through his charm and technique.!! In total, our profit on the night currently stands at a massive £10,000. This was largely down to Martin by doing such a fantastic job on the auction!. He is a very charming, warm person, who was so keen to help us, and his presence at the event made it all the more special." - Claire, Thames Hospicecare
