TESTIMONIALS
Nigel was our Master of Ceremonies at our son’s wedding recently. We were highly recommended to him, and from the moment we met him and contracted to work with him, we were confident Nigel would be fantastic. Nigel met us at the venue for several logistical meetings prior to the wedding and he was totally prepared, organised and efficient, taking an integral role in our meticulous planning. On the day of the wedding, from the moment we handed him the key to our venue (& more importantly, the marquee generator) we knew our event was in safe hands. Nigel was totally professional at all times, throughout the setup and then during the event. He ensured that everything worked smoothly and ran to time; he was a true cog in our organisational wheel. Nigel liaised well between all our other suppliers, such as band, photographers & caterers etc, and he site-managed & trouble-shot for us on the day before we arrived at the venue for the wedding celebrations. Nigel’s fabulous personality, wit, humour and charm definitely added to the lively atmosphere of our function, and we honestly could not have chosen a better or more professional MC for our special occasion. Thank you Nigel. We can’t recommend you highly enough!!

You made our dad's birthday such fun and totally took the pressure off us so we could just relax and enjoy speaking to all our guests.
Thank you once again for your hard work and determination to make this a successful party.
My husband said to me at the end of the party that he wants to find an excuse to have another event, just so we can book you to run it!

“It was a great pleasure working with Nigel on our biggest annual partner event this year. He was inspirational, motivational and above all hilarious! It is not easy to work with a mixed group of people from all over Europe, not only due to the language barrier, but also because of the cultural differences between each country. Nigel managed to bridge the gap and found common ground which had everyone interested and itching for more. He was also really flexible in accommodating our requests and I would be delighted to work with him again in the future”

Nigel compered our fundraising event - An Evening with Angus Fraser on May 18 - and ensured proceedings ran smoothly from start to finish. Wearing a sharp suit, and equipped with equally razor sharp humour, he took care of all the liasons beforehand so that I could relax as the night unfolded. As master of ceremonies, he also performed our auction and ensured the evening was a resounding success. Indeed I cannot recommend Nigel highly enough.

Thank you so much for Saturday night, you were fantastic and a huge part of the success of the evening and the fundraising effort.

Nigel was the Master of Ceremonies at our recent 5th Anniversary Gala Dinner. We simply couldn’t have wished for a better MC! Nigel was incredibly attentive and professional. He immersed himself in our project from the outset and contributed numerous ideas that helped develop our event.
The success of the evening can be attributed to Nigel’s dedication, passion and enthusiasm. He kept guests entertained and above all else, ensured the evening ran to time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel for any corporate or charity event. You will not be disappointed.

"Thank you for the excellent presentation you gave at our Corporate Members meeting last week. Your combination of very funny humour and significant retail experience and knowledge proved to be very thought provoking and an excellent way for us to end the two-day conference.
Your presentation was very well received and it certainly gave everyone plenty to think about on their journey home."
Martin Elliott
Chief Executive, Home Hardware
“Nigel’s presentation was excellent being inspirational, thought provoking and entertaining all at once.”

“If Nigel would talk all day , I would still have been happy to listen to him!! He was funny, sarcastic (as he was talking about Manchester United , I’ve laughed my face off) And even though he was being funny, he touched on some serious topics but in a really kind way that was very touching. My colleague was sitting next to me and the first thing we were trying to guess, was if he is a stand up comedian or not. In one sentence , it was a pleasure to hear what he said and how he said it – highly recommended.”

Thanks so much for being amazing at our Bar Mitzvah party. We were able to relax and everything ran smoothly because of you!
Debbie and Jonathan - Finchley
Nigel presented to my group of CEOs and gave them significant food for thought in how to lead and transform organisations. It was a fascinating presentation followed by a very insightful set of Q&As through which Nigel was able to add even more learnings for the group. An excellent session, thanks very much.

Praise has flooded in with reference to our perfect choice of speaker. If you want something memorable for a special event look no further. Nigel is your man, he's witty with a good story to tell, that is contemporary and relevant to today. He is most professional and spends time to ascertain your exact requirements and tailoring his talk and it's humour to your audience
Martin Matthews - Chairman Bushey & District Branch University of the Third Age
It can't be easy speaking to so many semi-imbibed businessmen, but I thought your material was fresh, original and above all extremely funny. It was also nicely tailored to our event. You may be pleased to know we have had a number of letters of thanks from clients all of whom mentioned how amusing and entertaining you were.

Thank you so much for being Master of Ceremonies at our recent wedding. Your professional yet light-hearted approach made everybody smile and also made the day go like clockwork. Knowing that you were ‘in charge’ left us to simply enjoy the happiest day of our lives and we can’t wait to receive our wedding DVD so we can relive the experience and see how brilliantly you managed everything.

Nigel was the speaker at our Men's Dinner on November 14th. He came highly recommended and went down very well with our members. A very funny man.
Peter Marshall - Managing Secretary, Porters Park Golf Club
Nigel acted as the Master of Ceremonies at our Gala Dinner in February. From the onset Nigel was an absolute pleasure to work with and extremely diligent in ensuring that he was well prepared for the night itself. On the day of the dinner, Nigel arrived promptly to ensure every eventuality was covered, Nigel managed the night itself in an extremely professional manner. He had researched every speaker, and introduced them all with great empathy , judging the audience perfectly. Thanks to Nigel , the evening ran beautifully to plan and was a resounding success. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel and will definitely use him again.
Nicole Gordon, Executive Director, Jewish Child’s Day
Working with Nigel on stage for a large gala fundraiser dinner was fantastic. He was self assured, calm and adept at guiding hundreds of guests through the evening’s schedule. It must have been no mean feat but “effortless” is the word that comes to mind. Graceful yet authoritative. What a perfect blend! I’d have Nigel at my event any day.
Bryan Edery, Professional Pianist.
Truly polished, a real professional and a pleasure to work with.

I do not know what to say, apart from a MASSIVE THANK YOU to you.
You were just 'Amazing, Fab, Super' on Sunday
You most definitely made Leonie & David's very special day even more special.
Everything was perfect and we could not have asked for more.
We cannot thank you enough.
A VERY BIG THANK YOU,
Toni & Mordy Benaiah

Personally and on behalf of the committee thank you so much for steering us perfectly last night. With the touches of humour, gentle nudging and perfect timing you helped us have a fantastic event.
Your input made it all so professional and smooth.

Nigel interviewed Henry Blofeld at the launch of his new book, Over and Out. Nigel is an excellent speaker and interviewer. He was erudite, professional, articulate and entertaining, I do hope we can work together again.
Sheryl Shurville, Owner
The Chorleywood Bookshop
Nigel is a naturally talented public speaker. He comes across as suitably confident without being arrogant and he has the crutial ability to make people laugh with him. His 'stand out' talent is the preparation he puts in. He quized me at some length before the event and he was thus able to deliver a highly personalised speech which really hit the mark on the night. We wholly recommend him to any organisation looking for a solid, funny, personalised after dinner speaker.
Steve Lewis - Chairman, Northwood Cricket Club
You were everything we could have hoped for at our twin daughter’s Bat Mitzvah, and it was a real benefit to us to have you there as a great support to make sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible. Many thanks
Andrea and Neil - Woodside Park
Nigel arrived at Chartridge Park Golf Club to entertain 50 Golfers after Dinner. He agreed to attend to support my chosen Charity without hesitation with only two days notice. He made people laugh from the time he arrived and throughout the rest of the evening. His wit, quick rapport with a small audience drew comments such as " Haven't laughed so much for a long time" "What a very, very funny Guy." "He's better than most comedians on TV" " He made the evening" Thank you so much Nigel for giving your precious time, you even agreed to stay on and run the Auction, helping to raise 7K for Rennie Grove. The whole room lit up when you came in, I can't thank you enough.
Steve Toms – Chair, Fundraising commitee - Rennie Grove Hospice Caire
THANKS for everything you did for us yesterday. We had the most amazing wedding possible and we know that we were in incredibly safe hands with you at the helm looking after us.
So thanks for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful.
Jo and Daniel - St John's Wood
Nigel compered our son’s Bar Mitzvah party. He kept everything running smoothly and exactly to time. He took care of all the liaison with the band, caterer, photographer etc.so that we could relax and enjoy the evening. His introductions were very witty, succinct and appropriate making us laugh. He had taken particular trouble to get to know the whole family beforehand with a couple of preparatory meetings. We received compliments about Nigel’s professionalism from some of the other people who were working at this event.
We cannot recommend Nigel highly enough.
Amanda and Paul - Bushey
Nigel made our event, with him at the helm everything went smoothly. He seemingly effortlessly kept the band, caterer, bar and venue in sync meaning we could sit back, relax and enjoy our wedding. We can’t thank him enough.
Adam And Celine - London
Nigel came to our College to talk to our Students about employability skills. He covered: How to get a job, keep a job and rise to the top and tailored it to meet our needs exactly. He used great examples from his wide range of own personal experiences and kept the subject at the right level and pace for students. He delivered his talk with professionalism, enthusiasm and an element of seriousness dotted with the right amount of humour. He kept our audience of young students very interested and motivated. It was an inspirational speech. The students were very inspired and encouraged by his words of wisdom and he demonstrated his passion to help young people. We are looking forward to inviting him back again. I would thoroughly recommend him.

We asked Nigel to MC our daughter's Bat Mitzvah, he was FANTASTIC. He really "made" the afternoon - was thought provoking, funny and brought everyone into the occasion making them feel very special. His quick wit and appropriate sense of humour made all our guests have the most fabulous time.
