"I would without a doubt recommend booking John Inverdale to present an Awards Dinner or an after dinner speech. He had some really good stories about all the various sports people he's worked with over his extensive career in television. I wasn't sure what to expect, but he was very laid back and at ease with the task of presenting our Awards to an audience of people who were quite excitable after a few drinks. He really controlled the audience well when they were getting a bit restless towards the end and kept their attention. 97% of attendees thought he was an 'excellent host and 3% ticked 'very good'. There were numerous comments on the evaluation forms about how funny, charismatic and engaging he was. An excellent choice. "
"John was entertaining and made the day fun and it flowed well. Everyone enjoyed the conference and praised John for his part in the day."
