Steve was delighted to be asked to host the North Tyneside Business Awards in December 2014. Staged at the Newcastle Devere Village Hotel, the event is produced in conjunction with awards partners North Tyneside Council and the North Tyneside Business Forum.

Dinner was locally sourced produce, and of the highest quality. The entree was provided by Nicholson’s Butchers.

Steve welcomed guests, and did a brief comedy warm up and introduced the evening.

Steve then introduced Chief Executive of North Tyneside Council Patrick Melia & Peter Hedley; Chair of the Business Forum

It was then down to business, and the awards began. There were many generous award sponsors, including;

“Steve did a superb job of hosting the Business Awards, he had obviously prepared thoroughly for the evening. From the start he put guests at ease, with his easy manner and good jokes. He was an excellent compere ensuring the event ran smoothly and to time, he entertained the guests throughout the evening and I would certainly recommend Steve to anyone wanting their event to be fun, entertaining and professional.”

Steve and Stuart Collingwood then entertained guests until carriages.

"Dear Steve – thank you so much for MC-ing our event last week – you were absolutely fab and very funny. I had every confidence in you from the start and knew you would make the event a huge success. I know we didn’t get much chance to talk, but I really hope we can work together again in the future. Best wishes, Sandra"
