TESTIMONIALS
“Alex hosted our first ever ‘An Evening with….’ virtual Zoom event, and judging from the reaction on the evening and the feedback I have received since, Alex played a huge part in the success of the event! He brought lots of fun and laughter to the evening, while also ensuring the event ran smoothly and to time. I would absolutely work with Alex again on other future virtual event.”

“Alex,
I wanted to say thank you on behalf of the charity for the wonderful job that you did for us on Friday night. We’ve had some great comments back on what a wonderful job you did, and I felt it worked really well between you and our auctioneer during the live auction.
You kept everything rolling and in order as we requested and it played a major part in helping us to hit that all important target. It looks like we will end up somewhere north of £166,000, which will play a massive part in our final big push towards helping get that new hospital open
Thank you once again, and I hope to work with you again at some point in the future.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Alex at this year’s CarFest South event where he carried out an engaging, fun and informative Q&A with Mahindra Racing reserve driver Sam Dejonghe. Despite the audience having a limited knowledge of Formula E, Alex’s enthusiasm, humour and personal knowledge ensured that the whole room was intrigued, and I think we left the session having gained a few more Mahindra Racing fans!”
Emma Stonier, Director, Revolution Communications
Alex Riley was our presenter at CarFest South and was a pleasure to work with. He was very adaptable and had a great sense of humour about all the weird and wonderful things we asked him to present! Alex was very professional with all of our content providers, main stage musicians and back of house staff, and engaged very well with the CarFest audience.
