Testimonials
"Jon is one of the best VO’s in the business and runs a great agency. Nothing is too much trouble and he has proved a valuable and reliable resource for many projects in the past and will do in the future I’m sure. He’s also a very nice guy which always helps!"
Owner of Delicious Digital
"Jon is the ultimate professional. He is arguably the best voice-over man in the country but also excels at managing his very successful business empire of top class talent and being a highly sought-after conference host. I have worked with him for many years in the television, radio and corporate arena and can highly recommend him as someone who will bring great experience, creativity and talent to any project."
CEO The Pitch Doctor and MB Productions
"Jon is widely known for his role as ‘media talent’ - but he is equally valued by my team for his ability to study and retain long-term interest in the organisations and industries for which he works. He is much more than an ‘excellent voice’ - Jon is a superb journalist and issues analyst as well."
Jack Morton Worldwide
"It was indeed a pleasure working with you in Amsterdam. Never ever have I worked with such a professional moderator as you."
SAS Premiere Business Leadership Series – Amsterdam
"Thank you for a very good and well accomplished mission. We were lucky to have you. The feed-back on your achievement is nothing but praise. And everybody I spoke to (also in some 80 e-mails that Annika has received this morning!) said that you added trust and depth to the event. Your questions were vital."
Business Development Manager SEB - Stockholm
"I am delighted to tell you that I have received fantastic feedback from both clients and IBM’ers attending last week in Monte Carlo. The Agenda and business context of the conference is of the utmost importance, but cannot stand alone. The way it is presented is sometimes even more important and this is where you have had a key role and also made a significant difference."
