AML Summit March 2019
We were thrilled to have Tim MC our annual AML SUMMIT at SKYCITY Convention Centre – he was a very calming influence, with a ‘go with the flow’ attitude and injected some humor into what would otherwise be a very serious conference. Thanks Tim, highly recommended .

Kiwi Innovation Network Limited
Tim was brilliant to work with and did an excellent job. His pitch and approach for our group and the type of event was perfect. He checked in with us regularly though the evening to ensure we were happy with how things were tracking and was made adjustments on the fly as required. We really enjoyed working with him. - Natalie Ward

Number One Shoes Awards August 2
It was an absolute blast to have Tim Wilson MC the Number One Shoes Awards dinner.
The team where instantly drawn to Tim, his humour, personable approach and professionalism really kept the team engaged throughout the evening. Tim was on point!
Leading up to the event Tim always made himself available for any questions we had, and in most cases dealing directly with us rather than us having to go through a third person. We would certainly have Tim MC future conferences and Awards evenings. - Bernie McIntosh

Hospitality NZ Conference Sept 2018
"Tim was a joy to deal with, his calm, no-fuss manner helped the conference run smoothly. He showed a genuine interest in our conference sitting in all sessions, meaning he could facilitate meaningful Q&A for delegates and speakers, and relate things back to the theme of our event."
Rebecca Dobbs - Hospitality NZ

Deloitte Top 200 Awards Nov 2018
Tim was an impeccable MC to work with. Not only on the stage but off it also. He read our audience and event perfectly, delivering a balance of humour, respect and professionalism. Seeming at ease in front of 900 of the top movers and shakers in the business community he added a great level of energy and confidence to the event. Off stage he was a pleasure to work with, his easy and relaxed nature mixed with his enthusiasm for our project was much appreciated.

King's Oaks Fellowship Dinner 2018
The dinner last week was superb, special thanks to Tim who gave the evening a real freshness that we hadn’t had before. He was very professional and a delight to work with. We have received very positive feedback from our attendees. - Katie Milner

KCOCA Annual Dinner 2018
Tim was absolutely perfect for our event – he is so skilled at reading the room and setting the tone. We had an unintended interruption to an AV presentation and Tim rescued the situation with his quick thinking and humour. He really understood what we were wanting to achieve from the event and I can definitely attribute much of the evening’s success to his skill as an MC. I have had nothing but excellent feedback from attendees and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He was fun and humourous, very empathetic and perceptive, and highly professional. - Jasmine Kovach

KiwiNet Research Awards - July 2018
Thanks for all your great work on Thursday! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the energy and humour you brought to the role and you did a great job of the interview with Grant and John. Thanks for your professionalism in “steering the ship” and keeping the celebratory mood going.

MC for the launch of Mobile Life
"We engaged Tim on behalf our client TNS to take on the role as MC for the launch of Mobile Life. Right from the start Tim was very engaged and keen to make sure he had all the background material so he could speak knowledgably at the event. He also came to us proactively with some ideas to help assist the flow of the speakers. We were impressed with how he easily developed a rapport with the audience and helped keep the discussion moving. We wouldn’t hesitate in using Tim again for an event. "

TVNZ Sales
"We used Tim Wilson as our MC for our recent Sales Conference in Hamilton (28th August) – the theme for our conference was Made to Match. We asked Tim to talk about Classic Mishaps and then give an overview of the nights proceedings. Tim was great – arrived in plenty of time to practice his speech and slides. He was interactive and understood who the crowd was. Got into the spirit – made everyone feel involved. He seamlessly tied in the housekeeping side of things with the other proceedings! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Tim again." - Jaquie Wilson

Spur
"Tim was, as always fantastic. When he arrived on Thursday to have a 'rehearsal'/update with the client he instantly put her mind at rest and understood the situation and their requirements. The conference ran very smoothly and Tim was humorous, informative and perfect for what we needed. Hopefully another opportunity will come up where we can work again with him." - Will Francis

CAANZ
"Tim hosted The Effie Awards for us and was a brilliant choice for this upwardly mobile, bright and professional crowd (Advertising and marketing!). Tim put lots of time in up front with me when working on the script and then on the night had the mana to gain respect from a notoriously fun-loving but boisterous audience. Tim knew exactly what was required during the show, had great timing and was just the right blend of funny and dry. Tim is a professional with a great sense of humour. Oh and scrubs up quite well too!" - Natasha Stichbury, CAANZ

Spark Arena Media Launch 2017
Tim was absolutely wonderful – so professional, got the tone of the audience straight away and was the perfect mix of funny, relaxed and corporate for our event. - Alice Francis
