People’s Postcode Lottery Annual Charity Gala

Dermot was a pleasure to work with, did an excellent job facilitating the day, manging the Q&A sessions during the afternoon, and was a real hit with our delegates. We are very appreciative and grateful that he was happy to step in and help us.
The DTG Summit

Dermot was highly charming [as our Conference host] and very well received, as usual. Ever the consummate professional! A delight to work with him again.
Constables Conference (The Police Federation of England and Wales)

Dermot was an asset to the conference and the general consensus from the client was that he was the best moderator they’ve had. He paid particular attention to the content and themes of the event and was subsequently able to deliver lively panel discussion as he put the Leadership Team on the spot. He completely understood the brief and made a conscious effort of siding with the audience and encouraging participating. The client feedback has been so good that they are already thinking of booking him for next year! I would love to work with Dermot again and would also recommend him.
