Expert speeches tailored to
the needs of your audience

All my keynote presentations can be tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are a big corporate or an SME, a PR agency or a conference organiser, I have a message which you will find both entertaining and thought-provoking.

I have just returned from Iran, where I was one of the keynote speakers at the World Advertisement Forum in Tehran and opened the second day of the conference before an audience of 800.

The Executives Association of Great Britain described my speech at their Christmas luncheon at The Dorchester as "hugely entertaining" and "the highlight of a year which has seen some truly outstanding speakers." An audience member wrote later that I was "a class act."

Joe Adams, Group Chairman of the Academy for Chief Executives, says: "I would not hesitate to recommend Chris as a speaker...he is a true professional." That`s enough trumpet blowing - my Testimonials page will tell you more.
