Hosting & MC

The person at the front of the room, keeping the night moving.

Wine dinners, brand launches, awards, weddings, industry panels. Twenty years reading rooms on the restaurant floor — I know when to speak and, more importantly, when not to.

“Jess held the whole evening together — she talked wine like she was letting us in on a secret, not testing us on it.”

— Head of Events, private members' club, Manchester
