EVENT HOST · MC · PRESENTER

Event host & MC for London, Surrey & the UK

Professional hosting, presenting and audience engagement for awards, conferences, panels, launches, public events and celebrations.

The microphone is the easy bit

Good hosting is preparation, timing and knowing when to get out of the way. I’ve spent decades in broadcasting, live events, media and DJing, so I’m comfortable with audiences, running orders, speakers, last-minute changes and the parts of live events that never quite go to plan.

Host

Openings, links, awards, speaker introductions and the moments that keep an event moving.

Present

Panels, interviews and conversations that feel natural while still delivering what the event needs.

DJ

When the formal part finishes, I can also take the room into the evening without adding another supplier.

Live experience matters when the plan changes

Speakers overrun. Technology fails. Timings move. Guests arrive late. A good host helps the audience experience a smooth event even when the running order is being rebuilt behind the scenes.

I work across corporate events, awards, conferences, panels, public events and private celebrations, with hosting-only and host-plus-DJ options available.

What I can cover

  • Awards ceremonies and gala events
  • Corporate conferences and launches
  • Panel discussions and interviews
  • Public and community events
  • Wedding and private-event hosting
  • Host + DJ packages
