If you are running a
charity event or fundraiser you should never
underestimate the value of having a host, compere or
link man who can take control of the event and ensure
that it runs smoothly, on schedule, and most importantly
communicating with the audience with firm authority to
ensure that any fundraising is maximised to attain the
very best financial result for the cause in question.
This can only be done effectively by someone who has
years of experience and background knowledge allowing
them to build a rapport with the crowd so that the
fundraising becomes a fun part of the event, and not an
oppressive and intrusive low point.
May I with this in mind introduce myself : IAN RICHARDS
 After
over 30 years as a Professional Comedian Compere and
After Dinner Speaker I have filled the above role on
some of the most glittering occasions worldwide in both
the corporate market and for the most well known and
prestigious charity organisations.
Recent corporate clients have included: Mercedes Benz,
Cartier, O2, Nokia, HBOS, Iveco Trucks,
BMW, KAS Paper Systems, BASF, HMV, Tesco, Vodaphone,
Rimex Metals, Karsten Ping, DHL.

of Great Britain, Sparks, The Grand Order Of Water Rats,
The Wooden Spoon Society, The Lords Taverners, Remedi,

Benevolent Fund, Norwood, to name but a few.
Auctioneering is nowadays a great part of any programme
of fundraising and making the auction entertaining as
well as profitable is always a big part of the battle
won, many events now realise that the fee that they pay
for a professional in this role will be repaid many
times in the final total of money raised for the
charity, Don’t take a chance Let me take the
responsibility for you.

Now that
you have your Auctioneer it is important to get genuine
authenticated memorabilia from a trusted source,nowadays
everyone seems to know someone who can “get a bit of
gear” this can so easily backfire and reflect poorly on
you and your event.
Guaranteed authenticity is paramount for all buyers with
the backup of someone who has a trading relationship and
agreement with the star signatory or their management.
We recommend and work with Soccerbid.co.uk who have been
in the agency business for 29 years and still manage the
commercial arrangements for a number of top sporting
stars.
They are the Medias choice and their directors are on
the board of the UK policing organisation AFTAL, they
are also members of the UACC world wide authentication
organisation.
For charities and genuine fund raisers they do offer
items on a sale or return basis.
