Top Gear Selects Devlin As MC For Prestigious Gala Dinner
Award winning, Sports Broadcaster, Martin Devlin has been chosen to MC the $1,000-a-head Gala Dinner featuring Top Gear stars Jeremy Clarkson & Richard Hammond next month.
The sold-out Gala Dinner follows the opening show of Top Gear Live in New Zealand and is being attended by 400 of the country's most influential including Prime Minister, John Key.
"This has been one of the most sought after MCing opportunities in years, everybody wanted this gig with Devlin chosen because he has the experience and professionalism to host the evening and most closely matches the intelligent and irreverent humour of Clarkson & Hammond", says Speakers New Zealand's Managing Director, Jim Hainey.
Speakers New Zealand represents New Zealand's top speakers and entertainers and know how important it is to get the right talent. Hainey says "Very few people have the ability to host an event such as this. You need a big game player, with a big game temperament. And that's Martin Devlin!"
The evening includes an intimate audience with Clarkson & Hammond and a charity auction raising money for NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.
