THIS YEAR'S AWARDS HOSTS
MARTIN BAYFIELD
Martin is a former British Lion and England International rugby player, broadcaster and winner of two Grand Slams. Even if you're not a rugby fan, Martin is one of the funniest after dinner speakers, awards hosts and established auctioneers on the corporate circuit, covering a lot of ground in a short space of time!
Regaling incredibly entertaining rugby anecdotes with impeccable comic timing, alongside his tales from the Police and his time as Robbie Coltrane’s body double in Harry Potter, Martin is an all-round accomplished entertainer.
Between 1985 and 1989 Martin served with the Metropolitan Police before transferring to Bedfordshire Police where he juggled playing rugby and serving in the forces. He made the transition into his fulltime rugby career in 1990.
At 6’10” Martin was one of the tallest rugby players of his generation, which he used to his full advantage as one of England’s forwards. He enjoyed a successful international career, winning 31 England caps and 2 Five/Six Nations Grand Slams from 1991 to 1996, as well as being selected to represent the British & Irish Lions in New Zealand in 1993. Injury prematurely ended Martin’s rugby career in 1998, but his charismatic personality and natural stage presence enabled him to easily transition into TV Presenting and speaking, hosting and auctioneering at live corporate events.
SARAH GOBRAN
Sarah is returning as compère at the 2026 awards, alongside Martin Bayfield.
An actor and co-founder and producer of the Guildford Shakespeare Company, Sarah’s passion for acting began at the age of seven. She trained at the Guildford School of Acting and went on to perform in a variety of theatre and film. The very popular Guildford Shakespeare Company, which was set up in 2006, was Sarah’s brainchild.
DARIUS ZIATABARI
Darius Ziatabari brings his childhood hobby of Magic and Mind Reading to the VIP reception at the Surrey Property Awards to create an experience that the guests will remember! Darius is a member of The Magic Circle and has consulted for both David Blaine and Penn & Teller over the years.
Darius is also a director of Equinox Living and Charlbury Group, and has built out over 300 apartments over the last 5 years and has a primary focus on larger planning plays, such as a current planning submission for a 25 storey tower in Park Royal, North Acton, with 176 apartments
