Wendy Calder | Director of DesignWe had invited Tom Webster to be our Guest Speaker at our Architectural Movie Night. We were beyond impressed as Tom’s presentation was so polished. He spoke with such passion and knowledge and backed up with superb photos. Our Guests were totally impressed and enjoyed staying later to meet and ask questions of Tom and his incredible accolades and experience both in New Zealand and overseas. I have the utmost confidence in recommending Tom for future speaking events.
