Testimonials

“It was a pleasure having you as host of the ‘International Brilliance Awards 2025’ at The Sheraton Grand in Park Lane. Your professionalism and charisma were evident from the moment you took the stage, bringing an infectious energy that kept the entire event flowing seamlessly. Your ability to connect with the audience and maintain an engaging atmosphere made the evening memorable for all attendees and played a key role in making the evening a success...”

Kara Dobson, BOC Global Events, London.

“Mark has MC’d our internal Keswick Care Awards for the past two years and has already been booked again for 2026 — a true testament to the impact he brings to our events. He is brilliantly funny, effortlessly weaving internal jokes into his speech and keeping the entire room fully engaged with his sharp wit and natural humour. Mark is also incredibly reliable, giving us complete confidence heading into the big night. His professionalism behind the scenes, combined with his vibrant stage presence, makes him an exceptional MC.

I would highly recommend Mark for any event — corporate, social, or formal. His presence doesn’t just fill the stage; it elevates the entire experience for everyone in the room.”

Lauren Harrison, Development Manager, Keswick Care Ltd., South Yorkshire.

“Mark has acted as Master of Ceremonies / Compère at several of our ‘European Contactless Technology Awards’ shows. I have found him to be personable, funny, entertaining, and professional. More than that, he can work the room and keep the show running smoothly and on time. I would thoroughly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a professional compère for their event.”

Steve Atkins, CEO, Krowne Communications GmbH, Berlin, Germany.

“...it was an absolute pleasure working with you; you made the evening so pleasurable. All the comments I had were complimentary about you and the way you handled the room. I will definitely be booking you for next year...!” [...he did!]

Nigel Taylor, Insurance Institute of Bristol Awards organiser.

"I thought Mark Jones was majestic in his handling and compèring the BRISLA awards. He kept everything moving in a most professional and competent manner. Many other super-expensive, high-profile presenters would have stumbled over some of the Sri-Lankan pronunciations and protocols required. Mark did not."                                                                         

Dr Zimar Sivardeen, Chairman, British Sri Lankan Association, London.

“Thank you for your help in making the evening [at the Marriott Hotel in Bristol] very memorable and enjoyable, I have had many compliments from our guests...”

Colin Girdler, President, West of England & South Wales Provision Trade Association, Bristol

“Mark Jones was an absolute asset for our Triple H Awards [at The Birmingham Hilton Metropole] dedicated to the Hotel Hospitality Sector. A consummate professional: Mark was humorous and inoffensive to our multi-cultural guests. He carried out his duties whilst keeping our delegates engaged. As Events Organisers, we will definitely be calling on the services of Mark in the very near future...”

Mark Gleed, Director, MEG Events Ltd., Reading., Berks.

"Mark Jones was excellent as MC [at The Belfry]; he had the room laughing most of the evening and kept the whole event running to time. He did everything we requested of him and more, so much so we would like to book him again for our event next year; we have been running this event for over 30 years using various people as MC, they all assured me Mark was the best ever.”

Kathy McCracken, Administration Manager, Road Surface Treatments Association, Wolverhampton.
