Comments about Duncan Armstrong...
Senior Management were extremely pleased with Duncan's presentation. He engaged the audience with his easy humour and stories. Duncan also delivered the key messages we wanted the audience to leave the dinner with.
Ergon Energy
Excellent. Duncan not only attended our golf day but also acted as MC for the dinner and interviewed the other athletes in attendance. Feedback was excellent. He changes very easily between one-on-one and MC personas...he is very warm and approachable - perfect for the sort of day we were having which was a golf day where we wanted the athletes to mix with senior executives from our customers. He is obviously passionate about sport and made a terrific contribution to our day.

Duncan was both informative and inspiration, his contribution to our event made it all the more successful. I have never been so inspired nor entertained from a guest speaker. I had numerous attendees comment on the segment where Duncan presented. I would and will highly recommend him to fellow business partners and wouldn’t hesitate using him again for future events.
