James, an accomplished Event Host, Toastmaster, and Auctioneer, seamlessly transitions between roles with remarkable ease. He excels in fostering confidence in others, a passion evident from his volunteer work as a team leader for LOCOG at the London 2012 Olympics and during the 2021 Census. As a distinguished London Master of Ceremonies, he holds the ceremonial role of a City of London Beadle.

Remarkably, he also officiates ship launching ceremonies and has even hosted an awards ceremony for FTSE50 companies. In his first decade in the business, he has hosted over 600 events, gone through three red toastmaster jackets and managed to lose one gavel and break two others!

James’s dedication and expertise were recognised when he won the Toastmaster of the Year award in 2019, and he remains a fellow of the Guild of International Professional Toastmasters.
