I am a graduate of the Westminster Hotel School, the country's finest school of Hotel Management.  Whilst there, I worked at hundreds of West End and City functions and saw dozens of Toastmasters at work.  Those experiences and a college lecturer who was a Toastmaster planted the idea that, one day, I'd become one too!

A career in Hotel Sales & Marketing, the Inbound Travel Industry and as Chief Executive of Trade Associations means that receptions, dinners, cocktail parties, product launches, conferences, study trips and most type of events are second nature to me. 

After careful research, I selected the Professional Toastmasters Academy for my training.  I was delighted when they selected me too!  Their training is the most comprehensive available and covers all types of functions.

Now after passing the exam, being observed working and 18 months of jobs, I have become a Fellow of the Guild of Professional Toastmasters, your guarantee of professionalism!  I am also the Beadle of The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners, a City Livery, meaning I act at many City functions each year too.
