Compering Services

Organising a function? Considered engaging the services of a compere?

A competent compere or master of ceremonies adds a professional dimension to any occasion. But rather than wait until the last minute why not engage the compere well ahead of your big night.

A good compere not only runs your programme on the night he or she can advise you on many aspects of staging a successful event.

Gerry Gannon is one of Perth's most popular comperes with an extensive clientele that just keeps coming back for more.

Gerry has compered events such as the Master Painters Association (WA) Annual Awards,  the Institute of Building Awards, the Awards of Excellence in Rural WA, the Screen Printing Awards and many others.

Gerry hosted Perth Glory's home game functions between the club's inception in 1996 and 2005.

He has also been involved with both Mobil Outback Air Race events to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (WA) of which he is the current President.

To book Gerry as a compere for your next event, call BBC Entertainment on (08) 9472 5500 or e-mail Gannon Media Services

What they said about Gerry Gannon

You did a superb job as always, ensuring our order of proceedings was smoothly executed and impressing our guests by creating an upbeat atmosphere whilst maintaining command of the room.

Peter Higgins, Exec. Dir. Master Painters Assoc WA

Your professionalism, industry knowledge, quick wit and adaptability on the night of the dinner are first class and the committee felt you should be acknowledged for the fantastic way you MC the awards.

Michael Coles,

Chairman - WAITTA

The professionalism of this year's Perth Royal Wine Show has set another benchmark. Your ability to understand the dynamics of our night, feel the mood and proceedings and adjust the timing when needed was terrific. Work like yours is testament to why this year's dinner was such a success

John Snowball

Counselor in Charge

Perth Royal Wine Show

This year's Ball was a phenomenal success due in no small part to the excitement generated by yourself in all the fundraising activities and your professional approach to making the night such a success. We have received much positive feedback on the Ball and, in particular, you as the MC. It was a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to working with you again to create more successful events in the future.
