Sam Sheehan - Former Health System Director, Nuffield Health

I have had the pleasure of working with Tanya Arnold on two occasions. The first was as we took an innovative approach to a Hospital AGM for Consultants. Tanya hosted this event and also conducted an interview with me and other members of our panel.

Tanya's ability to create a welcoming and inclusive environment allowed for open and honest discussions among the consultants. The AGM aimed to review the past 12 months and provide inspiration for the upcoming year on how we could collaborate more effectively. Tanya's flexibility in adapting to the needs of the participants and the flow of the discussion was impressive. She seamlessly integrated real-life stories and experiences, which resonated with both the audience and the consultants. Her skilful moderation and thoughtful questions brought out the best in everyone involved. A very memorable occasion for all who attended.

The second project was as a host for a series podcasts aimed at demonstrating real stories that led patients to choose life changing surgeries.

During the podcasts, Tanya's keen sense of empathy and understanding of the human experiences involved in surgery made the content not only informative but also deeply moving. She navigated complex topics with grace and ensured that every voice was heard. Tanya's commitment to showcasing the human side of healthcare through her sensitive interview style was evident, making the podcast a powerful tool for raising awareness and fostering understanding.

In summary, Tanya Arnold's exceptional hosting skills, combined with her flexibility and sensitivity to human experiences, made a significant impact on the success of both the consultant AGM and the podcasts. Her contributions were invaluable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her.

It’s an absolute pleasure to share my experience of working with Tanya Arnold, whose exceptional talent as an event host truly sets her apart. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing her in action at various of our events and others, and I’m always impressed by her ability to connect with a diverse range of audiences—from technical and financial professionals to business leaders and investors.

What makes Tanya truly special is her natural ability to engage with people. She has a remarkable knack for adapting her approach to suit whoever is in the room, making even the most complex or technical topics feel accessible and relatable. Her preparation is second to none—she takes the time to really understand the event, the speakers, and the audience, which ensures every session flows effortlessly.

But what I love most about Tanya is her energy and warmth on stage. She brings a spark that’s often missing from traditional business or technical events. Whether she’s hosting a panel or leading a fireside chat, her enthusiasm is infectious, and she has a way of keeping everyone in the room engaged and connected.

One standout example that comes to mind is an Innovate UK event, where Tanya hosted sessions on highly technical topics in agricultural technology and the food industry. These kinds of discussions can sometimes feel heavy and hard to follow, but Tanya’s approach was a game-changer. She brought life to the room, sparking meaningful conversations and creating an atmosphere where people were excited to network and share ideas.

Tanya’s versatility is another one of her strengths. Whether she’s on a big stage hosting a large conference or leading a smaller, more intimate session, she always brings the same level of care, professionalism, and personality. She’s become a go-to host for many of our events at Investor Ladder / ClimbUK, and it’s no surprise that clients consistently ask for her to return.

Working with Tanya is always an absolute joy. She has a rare combination of professionalism, charisma, and approachability that leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets. I can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s truly a one-of-a-kind host who has a genuine talent for making every event she’s part of a success.
