Testimonials

“I first approached Mary in 2014 when researching the right person to professionally host our client’s Annual Conference and what a good call that was as I am delighted to say I have worked with Mary on several occasions since and developed a great working relationship. Mary is an absolute joy to work with enabling us to feel confident that the conference programme will flow as planned and interview and Q&A sessions will be hugely effective in her skilled journalistic hands.”
Rose Padmore, PCO [Professional Conference Organiser], Opening Doors & Venues

“Mary has been a valued partner to Garnett Keeler since 2006, getting involved in multiple areas of our business, from hosting conferences and industry awards events, to presenting corporate videos. She has undertaken projects for us across the UK and mainland Europe, and always delivers 110%. As a result, our clients love working with Mary as much as we do.”
Mike Keeler, Garnett Keeler PR

“It has been my privilege to work with Mary on two occasions and in both cases, I was immediately struck by the immense professionalism which she brought to the role of conference host. Her off-site preparation was thorough and her work with conference organisers showed attentive listening, an ability to grasp details quickly and a sensitivity to potentially awkward situations. She makes people feel at ease and manages to bring out the best in all whom she works with. Mary is the consummate professional and when she is hosting, we all feel a lot more relaxed.”
Andrew Warren, Chair, Teaching Schools Council
