A Bit About Us

JERSEY’S POPULAR & FRIENDLY TOASTMASTERS

The Toastmaster is a typically British institution, who’s origins are lost in the mists of time but there can be little doubt that early duties involved toast making (maybe both sorts!).

Our skills have dramatically increased since those early days.  Not only are we trained in etiquette but also in the organisation and running of any type of event.  The Guild of Jersey Toastmasters offer experienced, well respected professionals, please scroll down to read more about them.

Anthony

I have a very friendly and relaxed personality, with the ability to understand the needs of both clients and guests. My 30 years professional experience in the Hospitality & Catering Industry has given me all the skills to oversee any event.

I will ensure the success, from wedding receptions to grand banquets. I remain a dedicated professional at all times whilst ensuring either a formal, informal or an efficient blend of both.

David

Although Jersey based I regularly travel throughout the Islands and the UK. My considerable expertise is sought because, whether your event is a grand formal occasion or a small informal party, a professional guiding hand is essential for complete success.

I’m also a graduate of The Thomas School of British Butlers so, coupled with my Toastmaster qualifications, I can assure you that my presence will transform a good occasion into a great one.

"Our toastmaster David Lister - how do people get married without him?! David was great on our wedding day and all the guests agreed, he made everything so easy and even resolved some issues with some of the other suppliers for us. He went above and beyond what was asked of him and even in the lead up was very helpful."

"Toastmaster: David Lister: It was a total honour to have this gentleman play a part in our wedding. His expertise and knowledge of wedding reception etiquette is second-to-non. He ensured everything proceeded like clock work but also brought an element of fun to it all. His attention to detail was faultless and the suggestion of saying Lancastrian Grace when he found out my dad was from Manchester sums this up well."
