"Thank you so much for attending the Microsoft Ball on the 2nd March as the Fundraising Host, your presence really added to the evening.
I have had some really positive feedback about the event and particularly your contribution. I think that your enthusiasm in the auction made a noticeable difference to the amount of money raised for the NSPCC."

"Chris, just a note to express our thanks for all of your hard work at the Sun event in Blackpool last week.
Your professionalism and patience through a long rehearsal schedule is of great credit to you and the show itself was a stunner. Add to that your excellent crisis management skills throughout the 'lipsynch' experience and we really owe you a debt.
The client is talking about the conference being one of the best that they've ever had and you played a significant role in delivering that."
- Kevin Chambers, Duncan Sedgwick & Sally Reynolds, Limelight
The feedback I had was fantastic. Chris was very interactive with the audience and he definitely went down a storm, especially when he went into his Q&A's section where we were treated to the many fantastic voices that he did for spitting image!

RE: SUPERDRUG CHARITY BALL
We have now finished the figures and are pleased to be able to announce that we have raised £170,00 for Breast Cancer Care.
Please thank Chris Barrie for the superb job he did as compere. The whole of the organising committee sang his praises at our de-briefing meeting recently. I'm sure his humour and professionalism contributed greatly in us raising the highest sum ever at a Superdrug Charity Ball. He was a pleasure to work with."
