Testimonials for Tony Pilkington OAM
In my role as the Chief Executive of the Foodland Supermarket group in South Australia I have personally requested and engaged Tony Pilkington as an MC, function host or guest speaker on at least 12 occasions from 2006 to 2014.
The functions involved included the Foodland Annual Awards ceremony (usually attended by 500 guests), media launches for charity campaigns and consumer promotion functions. He also successfully hosted the Foodland Study Tour to New Zealand in 2013 which was attended by 250 delegates
I do know how he can engage an audience having attended numerous Industry functions, charity and sporting events in my business career.
He is well known around town for his easy going, humorous style.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that Tony is an Icon in Adelaide radio and is highly respected in all circles including media, business and politics.
His endless collection of amusing stories mixed with his natural sharp wit always engages the audience regardless of their age or gender.
Sincerely, Russell Markham Foodland Supermarket Group
Tony has undertaken the MC duties for SAPOL’s Annual Criminal Investigation Seminar and CIB Dinner since 2010. These events have been held at the Adelaide Convention Centre with seminar guests on average being close to 500 and the dinner attendance at about 350 persons. Speakers at the Seminar have on each year included an international speaker in addition to interstate and local speakers. Tony has undertaken the MC duties with distinction and his style has been perfect for the event. Each of the speakers and special guests that attend always make comment on Tony’s skills and experience as an MC.
Kind regards Superintendent John De Candia, District Policing Model
Excellent. Tony did a fabulous job. He engaged the audience and certainly delivered warmth to the presentation. We have struggled in previous year to "engage" the audience. Tony had local appeal and personality that reality worked for this event.
