Jonathan Dutton, Professional MC, Quest Events 2013 - Present
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jonathan on a number events each year since 2013 and can highly recommend him as an MC.
His event specific content is always thoroughly researched, timely and relevant and his ability to engage the audience is second to none. From my perspective the key roles of an MC are to keep proceedings to time and to keep the message relevant and the audience safe, enthused and fully informed, all areas in which Jonathan has never faltered.

Awesome hard hitting presentation by @JDTheBuyer as always. Worth coming to #wip2017 to hear the straight talking

KEYNOTE SPEAKER - Jonathan Dutton at WIP Conference, April 2017
Hi Jonathan, I attended the Women in Procurement event and I have to say, I absolutely loved your speech. I felt you were reading my mind on the panel discussion when you talked about indirect spend, the (incorrect) focus on savings & applying strategic thought to non-strategic spend. Thanks!

PROFESSIONAL MC - Jonathan Dutton, 2016 and 2017
JD has twice now proved an excellent MC for our annual University finance & procurement conference. His relaxed but professional style is greatly appreciated by the audience, as well as his timekeeping and process management.
But Jonathan’s real skill is keeping all the disparate speaker threads connected and weaving the conference theme throughout the programme, which proves an invaluable contribution to the overall success of the event.
