WHAT PETER'S CLIENTS SAY....
Peter was contracted by the Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team as Master of Ceremonies in our Corporate Boardroom facility for our home matches at Suncorp Stadium. The clientele in this area were our top line customers, and as such required highly professional and specialized treatment.
Peter’s ability to keep the flow of activities running smooth, and also getting the best out of the interviews he conducted with our C.E.O. and celebrity guest speakers, made for a great event for all who attended.
Corporate Sales Manager
Brisbane Broncos
Peter's involvement in the Opening and Closing Ceremonies was wholehearted, going far beyond the role of MC. He actively engaged with the organisers in designing the programs, and mobilised his extensive network of contacts throughout Brisbane to attract several high-profile guests and participants for both occasions. His thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity and dramatic expertise were greatly appreciated by the organisers, who soon came to rely on him as an integral member of the team.
Peter's performance as Master of Ceremonies was exemplary. Always confident, but never imposing, he blended humour and a light touch with compassion and dignity as the moment required. He handled unexpected changes to the program with spontaneous grace and ease, weaving from the strands of a sometimes chaotic running sheet, a seamless and polished presentation.
To anyone requiring the services of a superb presenter, brilliant strategic thinker and a magnanimous, sympathetic heart – Peter Buckley is your man.
National Coordinator
World Harmony Run (Australia)
Given the detailed protocol requirements of hosting events attended by dignitaries from the Federal and State Government, the co-host organisations and other supporting companies, your role as consummate Master of Ceremonies was greatly appreciated.

Chair 15th International Biology Olympiad – Management Committee
Normally I am hesitant to engage professional speaker types because they usually lack the industry inside knowledge to relate to a highly specialized audience.
Peter is the exception. He took the time to meet with myself and the conference chair before our event, and obviously did some background reading in his own time at his own initiative to familiarise himself with the audience he would be fronting.
It paid big dividends on the day, with Peter bringing the right balance of professionalism, humour and business nous to the ever-challenging role of MC.
