Welcome from Reg Parsons Professional Toastmaster & Master of Ceremonies

I just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your hard work last night, you were brilliant and I look forward to many more events with you as the Toastie! I can’t thank you enough. Thank you so much again, it was a great evening, despite everyone’s hands being glued in their pockets during the auction but I think we did all we could.

A professional and brilliant performance that ensured the Oscars ceremony went to clockwork. I never imagined that without a rehearsal it would go so well. Your expertise and vast experience showed and greatly contributed to such a wonderful evening, enjoyed by everyone who attended. I personally could not be more grateful and I add to that the thanks from all of the Oscars committee and the Welwyn Festival Group.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You steered us through the madness, helped is catch up where we could and deliver a great night for our guests (even if a little later than we planned). All the bits we could control were great. And thank you for playing peacemaker between all the different parts during the day and on the night. We make a good team and it's always a pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for all that you do for the Foundation.

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful host and auctioneer last night at The Waldorf. You did a fantastic job! It is so comforting to know our event is in such safe hands.

Just wanted to drop you a quick line and leave a huuuuge “Thank you” for this truly amazing work and a great event. Our inboxes are literally overflowing with positive feedback.

I wanted to drop you a line on behalf of Sharon and myself to thank you for the immense input you had upon the success of our party on Friday evening. From the moment you joined the team, the whole event came together and your presentation as a Toastmaster was a Godsend and without doubt contributed to the great success of a wonderful evening. It was a pleasure to watch a real professional at work and thank you so much Reg.

Thank you for an excellent job last night. Without doubt, you added a touch of style and gravitas (not to mention colour) to the evening. It was also great for me to have someone who’s been in the profession a long time and can think ahead of the game! So thank you for your support and professionalism - it was fun and I hope that we have another opportunity to work together in the future.

I can’t recommend Reg Parsons highly enough. His calm professionalism, his stabilising influence and unfailing good humour has carried us successfully through many years of fantastic success at the Women in Film Awards. He deals with a rowdy room, with 1,000 industry professionals networking frantically, as if he were handling an intimate gathering. I know that with Reg onboard, our major event of the year is in good hands. Thank you, Reg.
