“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.”
