The Thorn Group recently engaged Paul McDermott for a National Conference held on the Gold Coast. His main duties included Master of Ceremony at plenary sessions, workshops and entertainment at the Gala Dinner. Paul’s style very successfully resonated with the culture of our team through his use of wit and humour. He was also able to quickly pick up on the mood and tempo of the conference as well as relate anecdotes to our business. Many members of our team thought he was a highlight of the conference overall. His performance at our Gala Dinner involving song, dance and comedy showed his diversity and great entertainment value. We would definitely consider engaging Paul at future events. Thorn Group Limited
