How important is it to have the right Compere?

For most events having the right Compere/Host is KEY! Pete Pinnington is an excellent, experienced & entertaining Compere/Host/MC/Facilitator who engages brilliantly with the audience and delivers the perfect tone for each event. Pete believes in offering a personal & efficient service to fully understand the client's requirements, the event and ensure it's a memorable one that's enjoyed by all!

When organising an event it's crucial that you secure the services of a professional and entertaining Compere. If you think about it, in many ways the compere is like a kitchen's head chef. You have all these ingredients that make up the perfect dish and staff that play a vital role in the smooth running of the restaurant. It's no different in the events world, there are numerous elements on the agenda that the compere must manage and ensure flow beautifully and to time so that the event is a memorable one and enjoyed by all.

In his 'welcome' message, a professional Compere will set the mood and atmosphere for the event. Within minutes the guests will warm to the right Compere. He'll have a good clear voice, seen as friendly, likeable and approachable, while at the same time be able to control a noisy group of guests or 'wild women'!

The right Compere will be able to ad-lib and hide some of the inevitable glitches that sometimes arise at an Event. Such as a frozen power point presentation, the singer's radio mic has died, or the raffle / auction prizes haven't been prepared. These and more can sometimes happen at Events.

The difference between a Compere and a 'Professional Compere' is that you never knew there were any problems or heart stopping moments behind the scenes!

"We engaged the services of 'Pete Pinnington Presents' for our Adult Learners' Week Awards Celebration. The event went exceptionally well which was very much due to the professionalism, resourcefulness and good humour of Pete Pinnington. Pete not only provided his incomparable compering skills but also the sound and visual facilities which made the event very special for all the participants. We will definitely be asking Pete to work with us again next year."

Pat Kitto - Lifelong Learning Team

"Pete Pinnington hosted our 'St George's Day Charity Ball' this year and also organised a super-talented young Jazz singer for the evening's entertainment which suited the occasion brilliantly!"

"Pete's help from the outset in terms of planning together with his contacts and experience proved invaluable and his efforts on the night with the auction played a vital part in us raising the amount that we did - thanks Pete"

Phil Evans - RBS Charity Ball

"Pete hosted the second of our Business and Tourism Awards and was a huge hit with both the audience and the organisers. Pete joined us at the planning stage which we found invaluable, not only for the smooth running of the awards, which was seamless, but also because Pete really got to know us and the event and managed to adapt both his presentation style and content to make the evening exactly what we were looking for. Pete also provided a great disco at the end of the night. We have received only positive feedback regarding Pete's involvement and we look forward to the opportunity of working with him again in the near future."
