I decided to become a toastmaster after a number of friends asked me to be the "Chairman" at their wedding. I very much enjoyed the experience, and decided that this was something that I wanted to do properly. My friends found that there were no other toastmasters in the area, and so they had no choice but to find a willing amateur - but now everyone in Leeds and the surrounding area has the choice of a professional!
I have been trained in all aspects of toastmaster protocol and etiquette to the very highest standards by the UK School of Professional Toastmasters (UKSPT).
I belong to the Association of the UKSPT with membership of the Toastmasters' General Council. The Association has a code of ethics and a code of dress, and ensures that all its toastmasters maintain the highest standards in all that we do.
Due to a number of requests for the service from clients, I decided to train as a family Celebrant with the UK Society of Celebrants in 2013. This enables me to undertake wedding ceremonies, commitment ceremonies, renewal of vows and naming ceremonies.

I provide personal liability insurance to all my clients to the sum of £5,000,000.
