"My client was absolutely delighted Ive had so many emails and texts singing his praises. He charmed the pants off everyone at the event. I have been doing the show for 6/7 years and he is by far the best person weve had to date. It is a busy day, with lots of meeting and greeting, and Mark was as polite and interested in the 100th person as he was with the 1st! He made my job so easy. I would recommend Mark any day. Please pass on my HUGE thanks!"
" I would thoroughly recommend Mark as an awards host for corporate events. His fun, vibrant style really helped create an excellent atmosphere, and he had obviously done a lot of research in his own time on the presenters and winners of our awards, as he ad-libbed stories about them throughout the night. He stayed on to celebrate with the winners after the awards, and we were so pleased we booked him."
"Mark Durden-Smith was fantastic as our awards host at the recent Adobe Channel Awards on Thursday 4th March at the Cafe De Paris. He really resonated with the audience, and obviously spent some time doing his homework on the event and the audience that would be attending. His humour and light hearted but professional approach worked really well and elevated the event to a new level. This is quite a hard event to host but Marks approach and control of the audience was just what was required he really kept their attention. Mark also spent time after the awards ceremony chatting with our guests and generally made himself available, which was really appreciated by all those that attended. He was funny, charismatic and related well to the audience."

He was professional throughout and I, 100%, recommend him to our clients."
