Don't just
take my word for it, see what other people have said about the
service I have offered them.
Below are just a few highlights from letters I have received
from satisfied customers!
I am writing to thank Brian Cox so much for working as toastmaster at our daughters wedding on the Isle of Wight. Brian was charming, helpful and efficient and took over the running of the wedding reception to a very tight timetable. This allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy what honestly was one of the happiest days of our lives. I would certainly recommmend Brian to other people,
Yours Faithfully

Dear Brian,
I would like to express my thanks to you for being an
EXCELLENT master of ceremonies last Saturday for
Even lodge Ladies Festival at The Ocean View Hotel Bournemouth. It
was the first time that our Lodge had travelled, so Michael and I
were quite tense about everything.
You put us at ease with the right mix of formality and informality
and the pace of the evening was just right. I would be more than
happy to recommend you to other Lodge functions and wish you all
the Best.
Many thanks
Regards June Trumper

A very kind letter arrived at the English Toastmasters Association
headquarters from Mr. Vic Turner regarding Brian, which
reads -
Dear Sirs,
Just a short note to praise one of your members,
Mr. Brian Cox Esq. I was very glad he carried out out the
toastmasters duties and was superb. The whole evening was even
better than we had hoped.
Mr. Cox will be used again.

Master of Walsingham Lodge

Dear Brian,
Thank you so much for looking after our Festival banquet on Saturday 24th Jan 2009 at
The Marsham Court Hotel in Bournemouth. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it, which
is in great part down to you.
We have tried several Toastmasters in previous years but untill now, had not found anyone
that we would want to book for a second year.
In fact toastmasters had become my greatest frustration.
You struck exactly the right balance between humour, entertainment and formality whilst ensuring
that the evening progressed smoothly at a sensible pace.
We definitely would like to book you again next year. AND I HAVE DONE SO FOR SATURDAY 23RD JAN 2010
Many thanks.
Colin Phipp
Festival Secretary
Lodge of Good Companions, North Cheam Surrey.

Our wedding day passed in a whirl of happy moments and Brian's efforts throughout the day contributed heavily towards that.
We were able to relax and spend time with people and just enjoy the day, and it was a great comfort to see him there
in his red coat to advise on anything we needed.
Brian was able to smooth over any small hiccups that arose on the day without troubling us, and we can't now remember what they might have been!.
He was also great great at co-ordinating those little extras and made everyone feel at ease.
Brian Thank you so much for everything you helped with prior to the wedding and your work on our very special day at the Lensbury club in Teddington.
Lots of Thanks Becky & James Buckley, via e-mail from Brazil 19 6 2009

Dear Brian,
We would like to thank you sincerely for the amazing effort you made on our day.
Your help was truly invaluable and our perfect day would certainly not have run so smoothly without it.
Your help with the photographer, Caterers, Head of house, as well as the bridal party made our entire day run like clockwork, with no mishaps ( if there were any we certainly didn't know about them!).

We would like to thank you again for your time and effort and proffessionalism and would gladly recommend you to anyone planning their wedding in the future.
We hope to see you again at a future wedding

Dear Brian,
My sincere apologies for the delay in sending you this testimonial, life has been hectic since our wedding.
My husband and I would like to thank you very much indeed for being our Toastmaster and for looking after us during our special day.
It was a pleasure to have you there. I have a lovely picture of you with us on the day and will do my best to e mail this to you, if my computer will allow me of course!
