"I thought Mark Jones was majestic in his handling and compering the BRISLA awards. He kept everything moving in a most professional and competent manner. Many other super-expensive, high-profile presenters would have stumbled over some of the Sri-Lankan pronunciations and protocols required. Mark did not."
Chairman, British Sri Lankan Association, London.
"Mark Jones was excellent as MC [at The Belfry]; he had the room laughing most of the evening and kept the whole event running to time. He did everything we requested of him and more, so much so we would like to book him again for our event next year; we have been running this event for over 30 years using various people as MC, they all assured me Mark was the best ever.
