“Working with Matthew Gurnsey—The Kilted Man—was an absolute game-changer for our annual corporate summit. From the moment he stepped on stage, he had the room energized, engaged, and completely dialed in. As our emcee, he struck the perfect balance of humor, warmth, and professionalism, keeping the event running smoothly while adding a distinctive flair you just don’t get with a traditional host.
Our leadership team received nonstop compliments on how polished and entertaining the program felt, and several attendees asked if he’d be returning next year (he will). Matthew didn’t just host our event—he elevated it.”

“Matthew brought something rare to our leadership retreat—an immediate sense of connection, warmth, and genuine presence. As our emcee and featured speaker, he had the unique ability to make both the C-suite and the support staff feel equally seen and appreciated. His timing, professionalism, and ability to read the room were impeccable.
The event had a rhythm and energy that we’ve honestly never experienced before. Several of our executives commented that this was the first time they’d ever enjoyed sitting through an awards program. Matthew elevated the entire experience—and left a lasting impression.”
