Feedback
“I just wanted to let you know that Steph McGovern was fantastic as our co-host at the CIA Awards last Thursday. She was extremely down-to-earth and charming and had a brilliant rapport with the guests. Even when the noise levels were creeping up a little, she managed to quieten them down with subtlety and humour. She even took time to personally go around the tables to congratulate the winners afterwards. She was by far, one of the best presenters we have had at the awards.” Chemical Industries Association
