Award Ceremonies

I appreciate that being the perfect Master of Ceremonies isn’t simply about turning up, standing on stage and doing the introductions. It can involve meeting the organisers beforehand, working with them to understand their objectives, and helping to create an event that exceeds expectations.

“I get invited to a lot of functions and after a while they all become very similar! However, I recently attended an event and saw Dave in action for the first time and I must say I was very impressed with the way he kept things running smoothly, with seamless links between the guest speakers and entertainment. It was all done in such a professional, engaging and light hearted way… first class!”

Geoff Cousins, Managing Director, Jaguar UK.

Charity Events

During rehearsals and set-up my involvement will take the pressure off the event organiser, and my tailored programme script will provide the necessary link between the venue, the host, the organiser and the AV, lighting and technical crew.

 

 

“Without Dave’s involvement at the rehearsals I have no doubt that the event would not have been the resounding success it was. He quickly became a fundamental part of our team, giving both positive and developmental feedback to our presenters. He suggested changes in a way that people embraced and went well beyond my expectations.”

Helen Scott, Human Resources Director, Sodexho.

Conferences

If required, I can make suggestions on how to get key messages across and advise on ways to guarantee your event flows smoothly and runs to time. I can also offer a creative input to ensure the occasion is memorable for all the right reasons!

“For the official opening of the Ricoh Arena, we organised a complex combination of events, including a prestigious black tie gala dinner for 250 VIP guests followed by a public open day that attracted over 13,000 visitors.

I employed Dave Sharpe as my principal MC for both the evening dinner and the official public opening the following day. The way Dave handled our dignitaries, Dame Kelly Holmes, Sir Trevor Brooking and Richard Caborn MP, was exemplary. He gave the whole weekend a very professional edge and I would certainly recommend his services to other organisations and I will, of course, use him again here at the Ricoh Arena.”

Daniel Gidney, Chief Executive, Ricoh Arena, Coventry Ltd.
