Steve Aylwin Hosting Information

Professional Event Host, Compere, Master of Ceremonies (MC) & Announcer based in Dorset Profile: Since I started working in Learning and Development nearly 20 years ago, I have had a passion for engaging others, whether in large or small groups. Whatever the event or the occasion I believe the host, compère, MC or announcer plays a vital role in its success and how it’s remembered by others. I have supported a large number of events whilst working in both the private and public sector, working with the NHS most recently since 2014. Examples of these events and occasions include: Award ceremonies Organisation wide staff events  Conferences Public engagement events Team development events Sporting events This variety of events has enabled me to hone and shape a range of delivery styles and approaches making me a versatile professional who can adapt to any situation. A lot of the work I do requires a very professional and formal approach for distinguished audiences, but this is balanced with opportunities for a more informal approach, using humour and having fun. I believe the secret to a successful and memorable event is to ensure that those attending or taking part feel involved and invested in the proceedings. By giving guests and attendees a feeling of ownership, even if only in a small way, they feel included and like the event has been planned with them in mind.
