But for thousands of emigrants about to leave and small businesses about to close, its well has run truly dry.

Justin Bowers, Account Director at Keating & Associates: HSBC European Business Awards 23 June 2011

Marc did an excellent job hosting a recent event for us – the European Business Awards sponsored by HSBC. The awards are a key client event and we needed an MC with sufficient gravitas and a keen knowledge of business and economic issues to run them and present the awards. Marc did a thorough and professional job and kept the event lively and on time. He had clearly done his preparation for the event but also furnished us with some good off-the-cuff anecdotes. Marc also stayed after his formal duties were complete to mingle with our guests, which was welcomed by everyone.”
