Charlie Webster is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:
“Charlie hosted ‘A future vision for the London Youth Games x Nike.’ The session took place on a Zoom webinar platform. We were excited to have presentations and two panel conversations. The panels included young people and some of our most important stakeholders from Sport England, Nike and London Sport. Charlie brought a brilliant tone and professionalism to the event. Navigating us through the various parts of the session and making all of our guests feel incredibly welcome. The feedback on the session was brilliant and we couldn’t have done it without Charlie.”
“Charlie has both hosted and spoken on numerous occasions for us. Most recently in May of this year she hosted our 10th anniversary dinner at the Guildhall. She was exceptional and her energy set the mood for the night. It went as well as it did because of her. Charlie has a very human approach and her ability to think on her feet is second to none. She also spoke in parliament for us where she was incredibly moving and inspirational and revved up a 10k run with her infectious motivation and genuine care for people.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Charlie on a number of occasions, having called on her services as a corporate event host, interviewer and panel chair. Every time we have worked together, I’ve found Charlie to be fantastically easy to work with – well prepared and passionate and a refreshing mix of personal and professional. Most of all, I appreciate working with someone who is willing to contribute to the overall outcome, offering ideas to build on the brief and produce a better end result.”
“Charlie is by far one of the best hosts I’ve worked with, her ability to draw the audience into everything she did was really warm, genuine and engaging. It is hard at live galas like the one we did last week to turn on a sixpence and remain fresh and involved but Charlie did all of that and more… and with a smile and a sense of humour. I will certainly be recommending her to our clients in the future.”
