"Our aim is to be the leading and respected corporate speaker bureau in the UK"
We provide celebrities for corporate events. These include after dinner speakers, awards hosts, voiceovers, business, motivational and sporting speakers both famous and otherwise to suit all budgets.
We provide a value added service through…
Knowledge and expertise
We have been in business for 14 years. First, we listen and ensure that
we fully understand your requirements, before using our experience to
advise you on the best person who can answer your brief.
Working for you
We work for you, the client. We are independent of the people we supply,
so can therefore recommend the best person for the job, not just the person
who is the closest fit from a limited list.
Transparent pricing
We believe in transparent pricing. The prices we give you include our
fee of about 15% and we only deal direct with the artists, or through
their official agents: we don't go through any other middle men so you
can be safe in the knowledge that you are getting a good deal. We also
tell the artistes what we are charging you, so everyone is clear.
Purchasing Power/Reputation
We book between 35 and 50 events per month, so you also benefit from our
buying power and reputation in the business.
Long term view
We provide this service because we want to build a relationship with you.
We've been around for 14 years, and plan to be for another 14 years and
beyond. We can only achieve this by providing the right people for the
right price every time.

- Recycle as much waste as possible, including paper, cans and plastics
- Only use recycled paper, or paper sourced from sustainable forests for all marketing material and stationery
- Reuse padded and stiffened envelopes
- As lightbulbs need to be replaced, use energy saving ones
- where cars are necessary, use diesel powered ones wherever possible
- Try to limit the use of couriers and unnecessary postage by encouraging use of technology such as online video showreels
- Encourage both clients and artists to consider their own impact on the environment and consider what small steps they can take to lessen their overall impact.
