He naturally adapts to his audience and keeps them entertained and engaged throughout. If fundraising is important on your night, he flourishes with charity auctions and keeps everyone interested and engaged. Justin is a regular compere and host for Newcastle United, Newcastle Falcons, Newcastle Racecourse and Durham CCC.
