spectrum of activity is the overall co-ordination and steering of
every type of event calling for a degree of formality.
Tony Forward is at ease in these
situations and adds an air of good humour to the formal setting. In
addition to his high degree of sensitivity and empathy his
considerable knowledge of protocol and etiquette at such events is
invaluable.

and continual unobtrusive liaison throughout your event ensures that
it flows smoothly and apparently effortlessly to a successful
