Testimonials

A first class event. Presentations were excellent and, importantly, relevant. I thought Simon Jack was a very good choice. He pulled the Q & A sessions together in a very knowledgeable and professional way,
Simon was a total hit with the delegates and they have been sending excellent feedback.
Simon was really well received by everyone. He mingled with guests pre-dinner and gave a very amusing and topical speech. He'd done his homework with a lengthy conversation with our director general prior to his speech which was very well received and humorous. He is a very likeable chap and we'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else.
