Testimonials

Emma was a superb host of our Good Friday Agreement Anniversary event that we held with the former British and Irish Prime Ministers, Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern, and a group of 200 young people from across Northern Ireland. Emma conducted this historic session perfectly, keeping it engaging by asking perceptive questions from our two speakers, whilst at the same time enabling the young participants the space and confidence to give their own insights, and importantly also the opportunity to converse with two global statesmen. It was a momentous event that was guided with truly exceptional professionalism by Emma.

Marc McGonagle

Deputy Chief of Staff, Office of the Rt Hon Tony Blair

Emma was a consummate professional chairing with grace, and skilfully working through the agenda ensuring that speakers were at their ease. She managed the political panel with expert journalistic insight. Emma made a vital contribution, and her input greatly enhanced the quality of the event.

Karen Murray

Director, Royal College of Midwives Northern Ireland

Emma engaged excellently with our expert speakers, and then did a particularly fine job in chairing the Q&A sessions - ensuring that a range of different questions were considered, while also keeping the event firmly on-topic. Emma brought to our events the presentational skills of a highly-experienced journalist, as well as a lightness of touch and just the right amount of humour. She very much enhanced the overall quality of our Annual Lectures.
