Testimonials

"Clare is an absolute star - she had done some home-work on the market and also made notes during dinner so that she could build an immediate rapport with her audience. She's funny, compelling and engaging."

"Clare was superb – great ad libs, read the mood of the audience well and looked after the sponsorship side smoothly. Clare was a great entertainer too."

Reed Business Information Ltd

"She exceeded our objectives; she provided a thought provoking, insightful, energetic speech which predominately focused on the Olympic Games. She brought so many elements into her speech and related her personal insights back the audience. She skillfully brought back the emotions felt during the Olympics and Paralympics. The audience feedback was exceptionally high, and they stated she was every bit as impressive as they expected, if not higher then expected. They all thoroughly enjoyed listening to her very inspiring talk. The talk was relevant to the audience and engaged them all in different ways. She made a great effort to speak to everyone in the room after the speech and was very professional, approachable, welcoming and entertaining. The service provided by JLA was excellent. Everything ran smoothly, the communication was very good throughout the planning stage, the response and delivery times were excellent."

Principal Global Investors

"Clare met our objectives extremely well. Clare attended a briefing call and was available for a detailed brief on the day. Clare came up with the idea to conduct interviews with the winners on stage, rather than the usual acceptance speeches. This went down very well. Clare was an absolute pleasure to work with and extremely professional."
