I just wanted to say a huge thank you for recommending Ainsley for our award ceremony, what a star! He was so down to earth, worked the room continuously throughout the drinks reception posing for photos and signing autographs, nothing was too much trouble. During the dinner, he continued to work the room again talking to all the guests. He must have spoken to every guest and kissed and cuddled them at least three times each- there were 150! What a genuine, funny and charming man. | L&Q Awards | L&Q Awards | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-9fc7e400295a7782b99601aee7ea93aa-t4bclvp8.png

Ainsley was amazing! The day went well and only a chef presenter of Ainsley's experience and unique approach to the public could have got the crowd going.
