Feedback
“Penny made hosting a live virtual event look effortless. We needed a host for our EMEA event who understood the business issues and who would be comfortable on camera - Penny excelled on both counts. She brought value pre-event and when we went live on the day, we knew we were in safe hands – Penny made hosting a live virtual event look effortless. I’d highly recommend her.”
Domenic Boni, Product Marketing Manager, Google
“Our client at American Express was blown away by Penny who played an integral part in steering the discussion to cover the key topics, bringing to light the audience concerns and the solutions to consider. It’s a breath of fresh air to work with a professional like Penny, who can take on the brief and run with it with little guidance required.”
Wai-Lam Wong, Momentum Worldwide
“Penny was the perfect event host for our online event. She chaired panel discussions with industry heavyweights, conducted ‘fireside’ interviews with leaders of large businesses and helped the audience to feel included and heard. Her live TV skills and experience were invaluable, as was her ability to engage and enthuse a virtual audience.”
Deb Oxley, CEO, Employee Owned Association
“A massive thank you for conducting the leaders’ fireside interview at our annual conference. You did a great job and brought out the best in both Minette Batters (President, NFU) and Carolyn Fairbairn (DG, CBI) – treading the tightrope between business detail and humanity is no mean feat but you did it really well. The feedback was nothing but positive.”
Fran Barnes, Director of Communications, NFU
