Tim delivered the goods to the total satisfaction of our audience. He is a very talented person.

Australian Telemarketing & Call Centre Association

Enthusiastic and spontaneous; very interesting in group and absolutely hilarious.

Macquarie Bank

Excellent. Tim was fantastic and added greatly to the success of the night. If we don’t use him next year it will only be because we decide against using the same host two years in a row.

GBA Communications

Excellent. Tim was according to the audience ‘the best MC we have had’. He had them listening, interacting with them and maintained their interest.

The Packaging Council of Australia Inc

I have been booking entertainers & MC’s for 20 years and Tim Ferguson would undisputably be the most professional, conscientious, diligent & charming MC I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
