"Our clients were unanimous in congratulating you for a perfect end to a very busy and somewhat tense day. My concern about 'after dinner speaking' for such a small audience of only 40 clients was rapidly overshadowed by the way you kept your audience enthralled. You obviously had done some homework to get a good understanding of your audience and your informed comments and sense of humour was perfect entertainment."

He tackled a variety of topics in a highly-amusing, constructive and very professional manner. Graham's brief was to help break down barriers amongst our team and engender team morale and spirit. The positive feedback from the entire audience showed that Graham's performance had really achieved this."

Mark Jones, Operations Director

"Our salesmen, never knowingly satisfied by anything provided by the company, were asked to fill out a questionnaire ranking all speakers from 1 (excellent) to 5 (the opposite). You achieved the near impossible and scored almost a clean sweep of ones. I've seen our salesmen tear lesser men limb from limb.."

George Clark, Business Systems Director

J.S. Ward Brown, National Accounts Manger

OfficeSmart

Will Edwyn-Jones, Managing Director

Miller Fisher Group

"I personally was very surprised how well you picked up the issues of the conference and the personalities involved. Whilst obviously there was fun in most of your references, the way in which it was handled underpinned in a jocular sense the more serious issues which we had discussed during the day."

J.P.Magee, Deputy Group Managing Director

SG Cowen Investment Banking

"You managed just the right note, which was no easy feat considering the diversity of nationalities present - at my table alone there were Scandinavians, Hungarians, a South African, Americans and Japanese - all roaring with laughter."

Gillian Hanley, Executive Assistant for and on Behalf of the directors

The Communications Unit

"We have had Graham here on several occasions to help us make our parties go with a swing. Whilst he is hilariously funny, he is not a run of the mill after dinner speaker. His jokes are crisp, relevant and of-the-minute."
