Here’s what some of the people I’ve worked with have to say…
Rob Andrew MBE
Chief Executive, Sussex Cricket
“Sam is a highly skilled MC with a dry sense of humour and an attention to detail for your specific audience. I would not hesitate in recommending Sam to help you deliver your event in a very professional manner.”
Calum Drummond
Health Improvement Manager, Winchester City Council
“We asked Sam to welcome the Queen Baton’s to Winchester as part of the Queen’s Baton Relay – a national, and international tour that took place as part of the build up to the 2022 Commonwealth Games. He was a fantastic host, interacted superbly with the audience, and really kept them engaged whilst we waited for the Baton’s arrival. I was really impressed by his ability to think on his feet and adapt to certain situations when they occurred. We will definitely be working with Sam again in the future.”
Dearbhla Cormacain
Senior Operations Manager, London Winter Run/Manchester Marathon
“Sam was a pleasure to work with. He fully understood all of our needs and did a great job on event day. We look forward to working with him again”
Gary Wallis-Tayler
Community Cricket Director, Sussex Cricket Foundation
“Recently Sam MCd our 1st Central Sussex Cricket League annual dinner for over 200 guests. It was a wonderful event which ran smoothly thanks to Sam who kept the evening free flowing and entertaining. We will 100% be utilising Sam’s services again for future dinners & events.”
Jenny Ainsworth
Associate Event Director, Threshold Sports
“Sam has joined us hosting at the Macmillan Mighty Hike series. Sam is extremely approachable and had a great balance of fun and energy while relaying important information about the work that Macmillan do the and importance of fundraising. Certainly a friendly face to see after miles of hiking!”
Sam Lane
Marketing Manager, Surrey Storm Netball/Surrey Scorchers Basketball
“Sam came into Surrey Sports Park with a bright energy and lit up our crowd as we played live on Sky Sports. With many changes and unplanned hurdles on the night, he was a true professional and was able to adapt and react to keep the fans engaged throughout. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough, so much so that we have invited him back for further game nights.”
Alexandra Goldstraw
UK Events Manager, 2:09 Events
“We asked Sam to host the 2022 Bacchus Wine Half Marathon & 10K at the Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking and he was absolutely the perfect host. Sam is a wonderful balance of approachable and professional; seamlessly balancing important operational and marketing messaging with his fun and entertaining interactions with our runners which really elevated the event. It was a pleasure to work with Sam and I cannot recommend him highly enough. We will most certainly be working with him again.”
Chris Atkinson
Head of Marketing, Human Race Events
“Sam has been the perfect host for our sports events. He effortlessly balances interviews with the audience and professionals, whilst hitting our specific operational and marketing cues every time. When plans change and go off-schedule, which they often do in our industry, he has no problem using his initiative to adapt professionally. You won’t find a more versatile host in the UK.”
Josh O’Boyle
Sports Events Consultant, All About Sports Events
“I’ve worked with Sam across a number of mass participation events, including London Winter Run and L’Etape London. Sam brings energy and charisma to every event he works on and is more than comfortable entertaining an excited and eager crowd of runners or cyclists. I would certainly recommend Sam for any announcing roles in the future and hope to have him along to events that I’m managing in the future.”
Jon Surtees
Head of Media, Communications & Community, Surrey CCC
“Sam did an excellent job covering our County Championship game at The Kia Oval, operating the PA throughout the game. The levels of concentration, accuracy and natural cricket understanding required to perform this job to a high level should not be underestimated and I was very impressed indeed with Sam’s performance.”
