Expertise
Feedback
Sarah MCed our National Butchery Awards. From the initial briefing we knew we were in good hands; Sarah was very enthusiastic about MCing our event and had one of her friends Phinn Butcher create a short shout out video to our butchers for the night which was an absolute highlight for us! Sarah was very professional and took the time to read the MC notes beforehand ensuring she was pronouncing the names correctly. On the night Sarah held the audience well, her excitement and enthusiasm for our butchery competition shown through and the audience and winners could sense this making the night feel very special.
