• I would like to thank Dai Henwood for adding the perfect highlight to our staff Christmas function. Everyone enjoyed having a good laugh and it set an energised tone for the rest of the evening. Dressed in a great western shirt, Dai blended in perfectly with our Wild West theme and staff are still raving about how much fun they had. Thanks for your professionalism and making it such an enjoyable night! - 'Power Farming Wholesale Limited'.

• Dai's enthusiasm, versatility and ability to understand the specific requirements applicable to the occasion and the audience were impeccable. Dai worked to the requirements of the MC brief entirely, whilst still adding his own appropriate colourful touches and personality to the awards ceremony, creating an atmosphere throughout that was a fantastic, well-balanced mix of humour, celebration and inspiration- 'NZ Herald College Awards".

• I am sure that Pamela, our event manager, will have thanked you on behalf of DINZ for your contribution to the BeST 2009 Design Awards. Dai, we experiment with different formulas for the awards evening each year (within our budget restraints of course) and also Mc’s for the evening.

• Each year the MCs are complimented to us or not.... so for what it’s worth ....... This year is resounding in that the emails I have been receiving proclaim you to be the best ever.....

  —

• I agree (although I would also acknowledge Carol and John back in 2003) – you captured our audience and held them all the way through. You were measured in a way that compelled listening, your pace doing justice to all finalists and enough intelligent humour to lighten the process.

• Designers are a highly critical lot (and as one I do know this) so in pleasing them one never gets a consensus – but you got that consensus on Friday night - 'The Designers Institute of NZ'.
