Client testimonials

If your event requires an MC that is efficient, credible, articulate and above all else warm and engaging, then I would have no hesitation in recommending Beverley O’Connor for that role. I have had the pleasure of working with Beverley on many different events and she has always ensured that the role of MC was carried out exactly to the client’s needs. Regardless of the audience size, the topic for discussion, the gender background, Beverley has been able to work with them all. I sincerely look forward to the next time we are able to work together.
