Feedback
Fraser Orford is a wonderfully gifted, natural communicator. His ability to effortlessly move between humour and serious commentary marks both his quality and intellect. Perhaps it’s his familiarity with theatre, or his experience within curating and hosting some of the world’s most impressive thought leaders that sets Fraser in a league all of his own - for me, it’s his warmth, his empathy, his humanity and ability to truly connect.
