Back-Up Plans

Why choose me to be
YOUR Award Host?
Award Ceremonies are big occasions, which can take months of planning, this is why it’s important to choose an Award Ceremony Host who has the experience to make your event a success.
Choosing an inexperienced host can have dire consequences, the names of nominees, winners and sponsors can be mispronounced, people can be poorly stage managed and worst of all the audience can lose interest, making the ceremony background noise to table conversations.
I have the experience to make your Award Ceremony a success. I’ll go through a detailed consultation with you before the event, as well as leading your team through a rehearsal on the day to ensure everything goes to plan.

Key questions every Award Host should be able to answer
Here’s some key questions that every event host should be able to answer without missing a beat. I’ve included my own answers in the drop down menus.
Are you fully insured as an Award Host?
Yes, I have PLI cover of £2,000,000. I’m happy to provide an insurance certificate on request.
If you hire an Event Host who isn’t insured, then there may be a long and lengthy legal process to recoup any costs as a result.
What type of events have you hosted previously?
Award Ceremonies (adults & kids), Gala Dinners, Charity Auctions, Business Conferences, Product Launches, Store Openings, Christmas Parties, Fireworks Events, Marathons, Sport Days, Company Anniversary, Female Sexual Empowerment (Shallis) and a range of private events.
It’s important to check that your Event Host has hosted a range of different events, as it shows that your host has the ability to change and adapt their presentation style in any given situation.
What would you do if X happened? - The Curve Ball
Even with the best planning in the world, the unexpected can happen. Suppliers can get caught in traffic, a fire alarm could sound, the food the catering supplies could be off, there could be a power cut, a fight could break out between two guests and the list goes on.
The question is what would your Event Host do in each of these situations? Don’t be afraid to chuck a curve ball question like this, after all you want to know that you’re in a safe pair of hands for the evening.
After hosting over 700 events and running my own Event Management business I’ve seen it all and as such I’m well prepared to deal with any emergency that may arise.
Do you have video testimonials I can see?
Any one can draw up a testimonial and post it on a website, which is why in this day and age it’s important that you see video testimonials of previous clients.
That’s why you’ll find dozens of video testimonials throughout my website, including from Dragon’s Den’s Deborah Meaden.
About Me
Aside from being an Award Host, I’m a comedy producer, father of two and small business entrepreneur who has built and sold 5 businesses in the past.
Previously I was a radio and TV presenter, who was regularly on the red carpet. In late 2023 I produced my first feature film and plan to build on this in 2024 with my first web series.

You’ve spent plenty of time and most likely a considerably investment into organising your event, which is why it’s important to find a host who is going to get things right.
Your event could require a high level of, however if your Award Host has low energy then that will impact the event. Likewise your event may require a straight, intentional professional style, which would be impacted if your host played games with guests.
I get the balance right. I go through a details consultation with every client to make sure each and every single one gets the exact service they’re looking for, without any unwanted surprises.
