  What Clients Say - Production Companies          
"Working with personalities can be a nightmare - lack of understanding of the client's corporate culture, lack of preparation for the job in hand, inflexibility and the tendency to charge extra for the tiniest item which is not specified in the contract. In my experience Roy Sheppard is guilty of none of these annoying traits. He is thorough in his preparation, sympathetic with client needs and culture, superb with people, a creative contributor to achieving the desired objectives - and a totally credible presenter. You couldn't ask for more". Phillip Gibbs, Managing Director, IMS Communications Ltd

"Just a note to say how delighted we were with the Exhibition Forum which you presented so professionally. We were particularly impressed with the 'homework' that you had obviously done on the Exhibition Industry - and this preparation showed through. Many thanks and we look forward to having another opportunity to work with you in the future".
Keith Reading, Commercial Director, Show International Ltd. 

"You have been a major player in ensuring we have exceeded our client's expectations. The two more major projects that stand out where you made a major contribution were the Treasure Hunt with Anneka Rice and the UK Unipart Roadshow. In the both cases the client could not believe their success in achieving both sales and motivating objectives."
Mike Black, Creative Director, Complete Communications (a division of UGC).

"I have worked with Roy for four years now and have never known him to be anything other than totally professional. He is a competent interviewer particularly on business subjects and has the ability to set any interviewee at their ease and get the best from them. Amongst our crews he is legendary as a one-take wonder! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a versatile all-round presenter/interviewer." Corinne Richman, Producer, Complete Communications.

"I would like to thank you personally for your tremendous contribution to the overall success of the event. As you know this event was no small task, with 700 Sales and Marketing people, over 40 separate speakers, actors, a voting system, a live satellite link with the CEO of Intel, Andy Grove ..the list of technicalities seemed endless. I know I speak not just for myself ..without you it would have been near to impossible to accomplish what we did in the time that was available to us. Your professionalism; understanding of people and flexibility throughout our time in Berlin made, not only my life much easier, but the end result outstanding. It goes without saying that when we have a need for presenters on any of our conferences, Roy, I will undoubtedly take great pleasure in working with you again. Many many thanks for a superb job". Christine Daniels, Managing Director, Face to Face Productions Ltd.

"I can't quite thank you enough for what you did on our behalf at Networks '94. To launch a Live T.V. channel at an event incorporating interviews, news, roving cameras, corporate focuses et al takes an immense amount of preparation from a content and technical perspective. Even then it has to be delivered. We had two options - either an infamous T.V. personality or a lesser known professional. Thank God we chose you! It is rare to find someone prepared to spend days learning about Computer Networking (not a simple subject) in order to raise the professional standard of interaction required with industry figureheads. In pure delivery you were, as I had heard, outstanding - in front of over 40,000 professionals, and the compliments that we have received I pass to you. Keep all available dates free!" James Latham, Managing Director, Independent Network Marketing Ltd

"Thanks for the excellent work you did for us throughout the recent Mercury Conferences. From the very beginning, I was very impressed by your commitment to absorbing as much information as possible about Mercury and the issues that you would be discussing through the course of the conferences. All your hard work, as well as our confidence in you, was well rewarded at the conferences themselves. You managed to take the ‘internal debate’ further than it has been taken in the past and, you achieved that by being well informed, credible and extremely professional. Importantly, you consistently demonstrated your ability to work as an integrated member of the team, something much appreciated by all of us at Spectrum and indeed, by our client. I am sure we will work together again in the future." David Zolkwer, Creative Director, Spectrum Communications

"We, the team at Status would like to thank you for your professionalism and co-operation in making this event the success Netstore were expecting. This event would not have run so smoothly without the use of your skills, teamwork and on-site assistance. The feedback we have received from the client has been very complimentary. It was so good to work with an assertive, hands-on, friendly team member and we look forward to working with you again."
Amy Knights-Whittome, Katherine Gilbert and Vicki Welham, Status Meetings Ltd.

"I am writing to express my thanks and appreciation for your hard work and input into the recent staff communication days which Apex produced for Philips Semiconductors. Philips were anxious to put across their communication messages in an interactive and open forum and your position as an independent anchorman was invaluable in gaining the delegates trust. I personally found you creative, enthusiastic and easy to work with, becoming part of the Apex team to ensure the success of the whole event. I will be recommending your services to our other clients and I hope we will have another chance to work together again soon". Paul Ashford, Managing Director, Apex marketing & Creative Communications Ltd.

"I first worked with Roy Sheppard at a British Telecom AGM he was our roving reporter with a remote ENG unit. Roy's self assuredness in dealing both with the public and with the technical requirements of the job allowed me to concentrate without concern on the studio end of the show. That confidence was born out of working with a man who is part writer, part reporter. and who has the rare ability to self produce His relaxed style of presentation contributed to unflustered, uninhibited. natural interviews, and disguised the technical challenge of the production. I look forward to working with him again". Peter Piddock, Glancehurst Television

"All I can say is a huge thank you.  I think we delivered exactly what we set out to, and talking to some of the guests in the evening, who had been involved in the build up, they certainly felt that they had seen what we promised. Thank you, also for helping with the speaker training aspect, I know some of the presenters were very nervous; it is after all a fairly daunting stage!  Your reassurance and tips on delivery really paid off, and when it counted I thought they all spoke very well.  Pete wanted me to say thank you from a sound engineer point of view you controlled the interview sessions brilliantly, I don't think he missed a thing! I hope that we will be able to work with you again in the future, and especially a return to Watford next year, to see if they have actually done their bit and delivered on the issues they need to!" Jackie Chambers, Stagecraft Limited

"Thank you on behalf of our client, Mars Confectionery, for the great job you did as facilitator on their recent National Sales Conference. Not only did you provide great links during the show, but the presenters felt you added real value in assisting them during rehearsals. I look forward to working with you again soon". Trevor D Hamilton, Managing Director, Unique Entertainment Production and Design Ltd.

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, our client (namely the Tibbett & Britten Group plc) seems to be delighted with their annual management conference at Sopwell House the other week. A large part of this success must be due to your ability to extract information from a reticent collection of managing directors and chairmen in such a way that the audience could not only follow it, but be interested in it! We have received some very nice letters from John Harvey, Mike Stalbow and Kevin Mellor, so lots of Brownie Points all round! We look forward to working with you again soon!"
Robin Smurthwaite, Partner, Synapse Ltd.

"A very big thank you for everything you did during the Lloyd's TSB event. Audience feedback has been incredibly positive, with a certain Mr R. Sheppard emerging as a highlight for many of the delegates. I was incredibly impressed with your performance on the day. Lloyds TSB were very pleased with the day and good news seems to have travelled... They now see what can be achieved by using a professional facilitator. Much of the success of the day was down to you and I'd like to thank you for helping me deliver a response which genuinely started to answer their individual needs."
Ian Liddiard, Page and Moy Marketing Limited.

"At last, we have finally been able to work together - and what a treat it was. Thank you so much for all your input, your calming influence on the client and your resolve to get to the thorniest issues. Andy, I know, was very pleased, as were all his colleagues, who felt it was a highly successful event. You'll be pleased to hear they are already talking about next year's! Many thanks again and I think I can safely say it won't be too long before we work together again."
Tim Horrox, Managing Director, Harmonics Ltd. in respect of a conference for Friends Provident

"Now the dust has (quite literally) settled on Connect, I thought I'd take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all your hard work last week. The event really wouldn't have been the same without you (or your jackets!) Despite the fairly punishing event schedule, at no point did you offer me anything other than 100% professionalism and genuine creativity. More importantly, you were great fun to have as part of the crew. The feedback I've had from the client has been almost embarrassing - I think they want to adopt the entire production team! Once again, a huge thank-you for last week, you took a lot of the pressure off me and the client, and for that I'm eternally grateful". Iain Liddiard, Presentations Director, Page & Moy Marketing (Client AT&T Capital)

"I just wanted to thank you personally for all your valuable input to the Liberty Life conference recently. The feedback from the client has been very positive and reinforces my feeling that our efforts helped them in no small way to achieve their event objectives handsomely. It was obvious during the event and confirmed by the many comments afterwards that the audience was impressed by your in-depth knowledge of their business and firm grasp of the key issues. Both I and the speakers appreciate not only your skill in this, but also the amount of sheer hard work you put into achieving it. I was particularly impressed by the way you were able to put the presenters at their ease and gain their confidence so early in the pre-production process. Even the sceptics became early ‘converts’ when they realised that they could trust you and that you really were going to make their task a lot easier. From a production company perspective this is especially important. In short you more than lived up to your promises and in doing so enabled us to deliver ours in turn to the client. It was a real pleasure to work with you on this project and I certainly hope that we get the opportunity to do it again in the near future. Many thanks once again, Roy."
Ian Johnson, Conference Director, Motivational Meetings Ltd.
