Praise
Over my career I’ve had the enormous privilege of working with many iconic Australian companies and I’m forever grateful for their support…
I have had the great pleasure of working with Deborah Hutton on numerous occasions over the last 5 years and think she is one of the best MCs and interviewers I have come across. Deborah knows how to really engage an audience at all ages and levels of any organisation. From internal company events to public events Deborah is brilliant at really helping to get your messages across.
Deborah is also a delight to deal with in the preparation stages and is extremely diligent in making sure she really knows the audience and the information she needs to make the event a great success
The working relationship has always been extremely professional and I am always confident when seeking Deborah’s MC/hosting talent. I would recommend Deborah to anyone who was looking to create a really interesting and engaging event .

It has been an absolute privilege to have had Deborah Hutton as our amazing MC for the Olivia Newton-John Gala Dinner for the past two years.
Deborah has been sensational to work with, super professional and above all lots of fun, she has a real connection with the audience.
Deborah’s willingness to go above and beyond was demonstrated when her Co-MC for the 2013 ONJ Gala cancelled at the last minute. Deborah didn’t miss a beat, flying solo for the night and ensuring that the event remained a success.
I have no hesitation in recommending Deborah Hutton if you are considering utilising her services for a corporate or fundraising event.

Deborah Hutton generously donated her time to host our Starlight Five Chefs Dinner in Sydney in 2014 and 2015. From the outset we were impressed with Deborah’s warmth, interest in our cause and empathy. She spent time getting to know our organisation and immersing herself in event preparations which enabled her to deliver a truly engaging and outstanding performance on the night.
Deborah resonated perfectly with our audience on the evening, delivering all our key messages beautifully and adding her own flair, professionalism and expertise to deliver great results. She worked wonderfully with our auctioneer and chefs on stage creating great entertainment whilst also ensuring Starlight’s stories and purpose were shared sensitively. We were so delighted with Deborah in 2014, we invited her back to host our 2015 event.

During my time as Editor-in-chief of The Australian Women’s Weekly, Deborah Hutton was an integral part of the AWW team. Starting as Fashion Director and moving on to cover Home Design, Deborah was also the “face” of The Weekly’s TV commercials and host of our prime time Christmas television specials from 1990 -2008.
Deborah’s warmth, coupled with her professionalism, make her a popular presenter with both our readers and also the staff of Australia’s biggest selling and most iconic magazine.
As a woman who is intelligent, approachable and attractive, Deborah has helped us to reposition the magazine to a younger demographic for our 1.5 million readers over the age of 30. Deborah is without doubt one of the most admired women in Australia.

It has been my great pleasure to work with Deborah Hutton on three highly successful series for the Nine Network, and the audience clearly loves watching her as much as I enjoy working with her.On any program she hosts or takes part in, Deborah’s natural warmth leaps through the screen, while her ability to establish an instant and genuine rapport with guests and fellow presenters is incomparable.Deborah’s enduring popularity can be put down to the fact that she is smart and highly selective about the projects she takes on, but once she commits, you could not ask a more dedicated or involved host.
Deborah Hutton is quite simply one of the most gifted and engaging personalities on Australian television.

Deborah Hutton is one of Australia’s most trusted brands. It’s been that way for her entire career and it’s why she has enjoyed success for so many years
Every time I see Deb on television, I am reminded of why she remains one of Australia’s most popular personalities. There is a sparkle, an energy, an infectious warmth to all her work. Quite simply, she lights up the screen.
I have known Deb for near on 30 years and have watched her flourish under the careful mentorship of the great Harry Miller. I was there for her national television debut as co-host, with Sir Michael Parkinson, of Bi-Centennial events on Network TEN and have admired how she quickly developed her media skills to become one of the country’s most sought after personalities.
Australians are drawn to her because of her honesty, integrity and trustworthiness. It’s why our national carrier signed her as their on-board ambassador and presenter and it’s why, today, she is a signature talent for Foxtel, where she is the face of our coveted Arts channel, where she hosts its flagship series, “Stage and Screen.” I love so many things about Deb, but especially her down-to-earth approach, her remarkable style, her curiosity and intuitive interviewing technique and her great sense humour. Deb is loads of fun. She has a natural affinity with people and makes anyone she interviews feel naturally at ease. You simply won’t find anyone more professional, or loyal.
Deborah Hutton is quintessentially Australian and epitomises all the wonderful aspects of what it means to be Australian and a successful one at that. Whether it be in commerce or communications, Deb has made her mark.
