I commissioned Reuben to create a workshop on ‘How To Become a Presenter’ and it went down a treat with the young people I was working with at the time. He was able to create a fun, safe and supportive place for the attendees to challenge their fears and gain hands-on experience in public speaking and active listening. Reuben has a gift for teaching people to celebrate their uniqueness. It was a blast!

Reuben recently hosted our BAME diversity and inclusion launch event – P.R.I.M.E. The feedback from attendees was fantastic. Reuben facilitated the evening with ease – he used humour to put the audience and panellists at ease and navigated uncomfortable conversations very skill-fully. Thank you

Reuben has hosted the final of our long-standing social responsibility programme: Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Entrepreneurs, for the last 4 years. He brings positivity and professionalism to the event and is well prepped and researched ahead, ensuring that both finalists and panellists are put at ease.

Where do I start with Reuben? Firstly we have worked together on numerous projects over the years. Most recently I launched a design festival at the Science Museum which was attended by global brands and design agencies. When considering a host, only one name came to mind… Reuben! From the first time I met Reuben, I knew he was a special person, host and facilitator.

He invests the time to get to know your product, understand the community and when hosting asks perfect questions based on the event and conversation. I find myself being mentored by Reuben on stage. He inspires the audience and does it all in a professional but humorous way. He is a humble person that lifted my entire team and his tendinous hardworking nature makes him very unique!
Adam Ryan, Head of Pentawards

I was lucky enough to work with Reuben for the launch of Design Can in August 2019, a campaign and initiative we launched to demand representation in the design sector. We needed a speaker to carry the evening – someone with everything – sensitivity, charisma, character, confidence and of course the ability to hold a room.

Two of my colleagues had seen Reuben present previously at different events and waxed lyrical about his skills. Upon meeting him, it was abundantly clear, there was no other man for the job. Reuben is human and open, professional and prepared, hilarious and clever, curious and antagonistic (in the best possible way). He made everyone laugh, almost cry, ask difficult questions, get involved and be a part of what could have been a panel talk like every other. It’s a seriously special skill and I’m excited to find (and indeed make up) new reasons to work with Reuben in future.

I’ve known Reuben for over a decade and in that space I’ve watched him effortlessly steer comedy nights, cabaret shows and poetry events from start to end. I’ve sat among swathes of young people engrossed by the presence his commandeers on stage, speaking candidly about masculinities, life ambitions alongside his own personal lived experiences and emotions in ways they found to be compelling and affirming in equal measure. A competent host holds the ability to put large and small groups of people at ease. They’re able to quickly configure a personality that manages to transcend cultural specificities, cutting into the core elements of human connection and communication.

I’ve witnessed Reuben hold a room of over 300 people at London’s premier poetry and music night, Out-Spoken, at the Southbank Centre. The night’s success was largely down to how Reuben drew the audience in with a mannerism that never once felt forced, but rather warm and natural. His ability to feel out the room’s temperament, introduce acts punctually and amiably allowed for smooth segues from one part of the show into the next. Reuben brings with him a professionalism and dedication to the craft of compèring that remains to my mind largely unparalleled.

I had the pleasure of being part of a panel at an event Reuben was hosting for us at Pearson last year. He was the perfect combination of thoughtful, entertaining and informed. He was able to make a room full of people engaging with the sometimes uncomfortable topic of race, feel comfortable enough to share and learn from others.
Ndidi Okezie, CEO, UK Youth

Reuben has been amazing to work with over the years – we keep commissioning him to host and present a huge variety of events for us because he really is the best! He was particularly fantastic when hosting our ‘reverse mentoring’ events at a creative members club, in which Reuben facilitated a conversation between a panel of young, aspiring creatives and an audience of 50+ c-level executives from world-leading creative brands.

Reuben was an expert at keeping the conversation purposeful but entertaining and managed the conversation in the exact way we wanted. Reuben has been integral to the growth of our events and positive/exciting atmosphere – the number of comments we’ve had from event attendees about how great he is at hosting is exactly why we keep working with him. He can work with young people as effortlessly as he can work with industry professionals and he never fails to inject charm and humour into the work he does!
Samantha Hornsby, Co-Founder, ERIC

Reuben is a born edutainer. Smart, articulate, charismatic and highly engaging. Our award winning Samsung Solve for Tomorrow & NextGen programmes wouldn’t be the same without him. From workshops to video lessons inspiring children all over the country, he’s been an absolute pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend him for any hosting, facilitation and presenting gigs.
Daniel Kranz, Head of Strategy and Networks, Board Director, We are Futures

I was interviewed by Reuben for an event, organised by Meeting of the Minds called “Habits of Impactful People.” Reuben has a unique style, one that is dynamic and refreshing, he manages to avoid the cliché based question style.

I have been fortunate to watch Reuben host live events, his formidable stage presence is full of energy and enthusiasm, and he has the natural ability to captivate his audience. I would, highly recommend Reuben, if you are looking for a fresh dynamic energy to spice up any kind of event!#
Ursula Henry, Executive Director, Head of International Decision Support, Federated Hermes

I’ve worked closely with Reuben for two years on Samsung UK’s Not a School programme, having engaged him as a Lead Mentor facilitating the learning journey of the course participants. Both years, Reuben has been – to be totally honest – the dream work companion. The level of care in his facilitation is really genuine, his active interest in the success of the project is touching. He’s organised, proactive and brings brilliant light and energy (even after 8 weeks of b2b online facilitation). Would I recommend him? The quickest ‘yes!’ you’ll ever hear.
Luke Bell, Senior Strategist, B+A

Reuben hosted my debut screening for my short film London Locks and pulled off an amazing job. He’s thorough and detailed in his planning and preparation. But calm and composed on stage during his hosting. His natural charisma and charm are perfect for helping set the stage. He’s never too formal or dull and strikes the perfect balance between being professional and natural. He is my go-to host for all my events.
Aaron Christian, Director, AC Studios

We asked Reuben to host our 2nd year anniversary lunch event and without him I am not sure if our guests honestly would have enjoyed it as much. His humour, quick-wittedness and ability to engage everyone was effortless and nothing short of amazing to watch!
Jen Scott, Founding Partner, Hustle & Heels

 Reuben’s awesome to work with. Equal parts hilarious and professional, Reuben thrives off making a genuine connection with his audience and does so with a combination of infectious energy and charming curiosity. The driving force behind it all, however, is purpose. Reuben’s sense of purpose is the fuel that moves everything forward. And always in the most entertaining of ways.
Joe Smart, Corporate Innovation and Venture Building, Startup Consultant & Venture Scout

As host and facilitator, Reuben helped curate and deliver an engaging and interactive evening of talks and workshops which helped engage and inspire our audience. Reuben had a great attitude throughout the project with all parties involved, offering insights, input and solutions when required.
