What Event Producers Say:
“I had the privilege of working very closely with Nick on a few occasions.
As event planners & managers, we have a lot of our bearing dependent on the Master of Ceremony! The best planned event, still relies heavily on the punch the MC brings about.
Nick is a natural presenter and audience love him! His eloquence, understanding of audience pulse for the moment makes his narratives look fluid and sounds impactful.
As a moderator his depth of knowledge across subjects as intense as geo politics, economics, present day logistics and trade, to cutting edge AI technology, jump to medical interventions – he wears multiple hats with ease. I am sure he would undergo needful prep, but his moderation of panels each with subject matter experts on the other side, calls for special skills and can test even the best of talents.
Nick is an event manager’s dream MC. With him opening the show, we are always at ease but I should warn you, one needs to have an agile lighting engineer to keep up with his movement on stage.”

Master of Ceremonies –
Remember – without a SHOW there is no BUSINESS….
Audiences and ticket holders attending events expect to be entertained, to learn something new and make new contacts.
After all – events remain a vital part of networking, of personalised learning and exploration – in a social media and ‘home working’ world of isolation, ZOOM and digital acquaintances.
We humans are social animals, inquisitive, always looking for INSPIRATION, we want to have their THINKING provoked and challenged, to agree or disagree, and to have FUN.
Audiences everywhere want to experience a different point of view, to hear the gems and one liners that resonate and linger. Just like a scene in a movie, dialogue or image that stands out.
Building the narrative that delivers the energy in the room, a piece of theatre that draws the audience into a world that delivers on several levels.
Knowing your audience, testing and teasing the audience, feeling the energy in the room is what makes what I do fun.
As together we unpick the future, make the complex understandable and deliver profound soundbites that sticks.
