For more than five years, Stuart has been deeply involved with the pioneering work of the ScaleUp Institute and its communications and content strategy. Past publications include:
Chairing conferences
Chairing a conference requires careful preparation, good humour and being a stickler for time-keeping.
Stuart has chaired many conferences in is career. Recently, he has been a regular chair of the UK Business Angels Association’s National Investment Summit and Winter Investment Forum. You can read more about these events here.
He has also been chairing a series of events in the Business is GREAT campaign, including a networking event on a Virgin Train from Birmingham International to Euston, and conferences at Gatwick Airport and Telefonica’s Soho office.
Compering Awards
A business awards ceremony needs many things: slick organisation, a quality venue, generous sponsors and supportive partners, and a compere who can communicate the achievements of all the contestants – not just the winners – with warmth and intelligence. And the whole show needs to run on time.
Stuart has been hosting business award ceremonies since the mid-1990s. His most recent event was to compere the GREAT Faces of British Business Competition, which was held at the BT Tower. The Daily Telegraph featured this competition extensively.
