Whether it’s announcing guests and letting them know when to pass to dinner, making everyone feel welcome, advising on correct form, cueing the music, organising the photographer and the band or even guarding lost earrings, on any grand occasion, the Toastmaster is the starter, the director of people, the diplomat and guide.

Clients, guests, delegates and diplomats, on business and pleasure, have benefited from Richard’s skills as an event producer. So when you hire him as a Toastmaster, you get more than a Toastmaster.
