WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH DOBBO

I have had the pleasure of engaging Ben (Dobbo) Dobbin to host/MC a number of regional and metro events on behalf of the Queensland Rugby Union and the St.George Queensland Reds.

His passion, sense of humour and energy is infectious and really lifts the atmosphere of the room. Dobbo always invests time into researching the context of the agenda and the audience he is communicating with, demonstrated by regularly including unique antidotes to ensure his connection with the audience is credible, the sign of a true professional

Dobbo is a cracking emcee! He has a great sense of each particular occasion and possesses the ability to genuinely add feeling and purpose to the event. He is extremely easy to work with and manages to balance professionalism with a laid back demeanour to ensure that guests have a relaxed and enjoyable time. Dobbo is an absolute must if you’re looking to add that little something ‘extra’ to your function.

Regatta Hotel has had the privilege of working with Dobbo over several years and has become a firm favourite as an MC of many of the hotels’ events. Dobbo understands our audience and has the ability to engage well with our guests across different events, from hosting the Beef Off in The Boatshed, the two-up for Anzac Day, to MC of our Melbourne Cup events to name a few. His warm personality and clever wit always ensures an exceptional event! Dobbo’s auctioneering skills are also commendable and was instrumental in assisting the Regatta Hotel achieve record levels of donations towards the PA Research Foundation from our auction held at Steak of Origin.

We are a proud partner and look forward to continuing to work with him on our upcoming events

When asked to write a testimonial for Ben 'Dobbo" Dobbin, I had no hesitation. I have the pleasure of knowing Ben through mutual friendships and when the opportunity arose for the need of an MC for an upcoming event he was the first on my list.

The Australian Shop and Office Fitters Industry Association (ASOFIA) Qld Branch, host an annual industry breakfast. In 2017 we approached Ben to MC this, to which he agreed. The event was one of our best thanks to his efforts. He turned up early to make sure all was on track and if there was any special requests or items we wanted discussed or highlighted. Ben's preparation was to the highest standards and his easy going nature made our organising committee feel very much at ease. He presented very professionally and wittily. We have had an overwhelming response from our members, as to how they enjoyed the morning and requested we make use of Ben's services for future events.
