Awards host & event MC

Events I host

• Award ceremonies: business, sports and community awards, from the opening welcome to the final presentation.
• Charity galas and fundraisers: auctions, raffles and pledges that keep the room giving.
• Sports dinners: boxing and combat-sports evenings, hall-of-fame nights and club dinners.
• Pageants and talent competitions: including international pageant finals.
• Corporate events: conferences, launches and staff celebrations that need a professional voice.

Why organisers book me

Broadcast discipline. I started in commercial radio and have worked live on BBC, Sky Sports and DAZN. I work to a script, to a producer's cues and to the clock, and I can adapt the second something changes.

One take, every time. Winners' names, sponsors and guests are checked and pronounced correctly. There's no second chance at an awards night, so I prepare as if it's going out live.

Energy that fits the room. Big-arena build-up when you want it, warmth and polish when the moment is more personal.

Screen credits. I've played ring announcer and MC roles on screen, including Ganapath (2023) with Tiger Shroff and The Cut (2024) with Orlando Bloom.

"Jonathan is an exceptional Master of Ceremonies. His dedication behind the scenes is just as impressive as his presence on stage. He elevates every event, simply second to none."Fredrick Boyles, PFL Commissioner

How it works

• First chat: your date, venue, audience and the feel you want.
• Script and running order: I can work from yours or help write it, including award citations and sponsor mentions.
• On the night: I arrive early, run through with your AV team and stay on the clock all evening.

I host events right across the UK, and I'm happy to travel further for the right occasion. With roots in South Wales, events in Cardiff, Swansea and the valleys are close to home.
