The Professional You Need at the Helm
The Event Host Who Commands the Room—Without Commanding Attention
Your event needs a professional event host at the helm. Someone who reads the room, manages the moments, and keeps everything moving—all while making it look effortless.
Twenty years of live performance. Military-trained precision. Magic Circle credentials. I bring all of this to your corporate event—not to steal the spotlight, but to shine it exactly where it needs to be.
Looking for Keynote Speaking Instead?
Many clients combine my hosting with keynote presentations for maximum impact.
A Different Kind of Host
Most emcees think their job is to entertain. Mine is to orchestrate.
Whether I’m guiding your conference through complex transitions, keeping your awards night on schedule, or ensuring your product launch lands with impact, I bring something most event hosts don’t: the ability to be completely present without being the presence everyone remembers.
As your professional event host (or event hostess role, if that’s how you’ve been searching), I focus on one thing—making your event work seamlessly.
Your speakers shine brighter. Your message lands cleaner. Your event runs smoother.
That’s what two decades of reading rooms and managing moments teaches you—how to be the professional your event needs, not the performer it doesn’t.
What Professional Hosting Actually Looks Like
Explore the journey of exceptional event hosting, crafted with precision and flair.
Phase 1: Before Your Event
Strategic Preparation, Not Just Small Talk
Every successful event starts long before the doors open. Through detailed pre-event consultations, I work with you as required to understand not just the schedule, but the stakes. Together, we develop a comprehensive run sheet that accounts for every transition, every moment, and every potential pivot.
I arrive before your first guest, ensuring AV systems are tested, sight lines are checked, and your team feels supported—not stressed.
Phase 2: During Your Event
Control Without the Grip
From opening remarks that set the right tone to seamless speaker transitions that maintain momentum, I keep your event moving forward. No awkward silences. No rushed segments. No confusion about what happens next.
My background—from military service to Magic Circle membership—has taught me that the best control is invisible. Your audience stays engaged with your content, not distracted by the mechanics of delivery.
Phase 3: After Your Event
Closing the Loop
A professional service doesn’t end when the applause does. Post-event, we review what worked, what could be refined, and what insights might serve your future events. Because excellence isn’t just about this event—it’s about making each one better than the last.

Questions Event Planners Ask
What does a corporate event host actually do?
A professional corporate event host manages your entire event flow – from opening remarks through speaker transitions to closing moments. As your emcee, I handle announcements, time management, audience engagement, and seamless coordination with your technical team. Think of me as your event’s conductor, ensuring every element happens precisely when it should whilst keeping your audience engaged and energised.
How much does a corporate emcee cost in the UK?
My fees for event hosting start in the region of £900 (plus VAT) Every corporate event is unique, which is why I provide bespoke quotes tailored to your specific requirements. Factors include event duration, location, preparation needed, and any special requirements. My investment reflects twenty years of experience, military-trained precision, and Magic Circle credentials. Contact me for a detailed quote for your conference, awards night, or corporate gathering.
What's the difference between an emcee and a compère?
Whilst the terms are often interchangeable, traditionally a compère introduces acts and performers, while an emcee (or MC – Master of Ceremonies) takes broader responsibility for the entire event. As your corporate host, I fulfil both roles – introducing speakers, managing transitions, handling announcements, and ensuring your event maintains perfect pace and energy throughout.
How do I choose the right corporate event host?
Look for someone with proven experience, professional credentials, and the ability to adapt to your event’s specific tone. The right host should offer pre-event consultation, arrive early for technical checks, and provide post-event follow-up. My combination of performance experience, technical confidence, and military-trained timing ensures your event runs flawlessly.
Do you provide AV equipment for corporate events?
If required, I can arrive with a PA System, or if needed can arrange full AV capabilities. Alternatively, I am also able to adapt to your own in house AV systems. My technical confidence means no last-minute scrambles or compatibility issues – just smooth, professional delivery whether using my equipment or your own setup.
What types of corporate events benefit from a professional host?
Conferences, awards ceremonies, product launches, AGMs, gala dinners, and networking events all benefit from professional hosting. A skilled compère transforms these occasions from standard corporate gatherings into memorable experiences that achieve your objectives whilst keeping attendees engaged throughout.
Do you perform Magic whilst hosting events?
I am of course a professional magician and Member of The Magic Circle. It is not unusual for me to be asked to warm up the audience or fill a gap in the schedule with Magic, and I am always prepared to step into the breach and fill time with a quick magical performance if needed.
