edwina currie
Edwina Currie politician politician public speaker broadcaster writer keynote after dinner Edwina has had three successful careers - so far After a decade of public office in the city of Birmingham, she stood for Parliament in 1983 and represented a Midlands seat for 14 years and became one of the nation's best known MPs serving in Margaret Thatcher's government 1986-88, in the Department of Health. She became famous for her campaigns on heart disease, women's cancer screening and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. She was also involved in the first AIDS campaign in the UK. Edwina was voted "Speaker of the Year 1990" and awarded "Campaigner of the Year 1994" in the Spectator Parliamentarian Awards. She resigned over food safety (salmonella) in December 1988, and turned down John Major's request to return to government in 1992. By then she was involved with career number two - writing. This has turned out to be a lot easier than politics, and in some ways more fun. In all she has published ten books. Career number three started after the General Election in 1997 which trashed the Tories and brought Mr Blair to power. Edwina lost her seat, and was promptly offered a job by the BBC. For five years she had her own very successful radio programme, "Late Night Currie," with live phone-ins and reportage on topical issues. She is also a well-known TV presenter and performer. In 2004 Edwina appeared in "Hell's Kitchen" and was also winner of BBC TV's "Celebrity Mastermind 2004." In ITV's The Big Call July 2005 she helped one contestant win £20,000 and another almost £50,000 on Britain's National Lottery. In 2006 Edwina recorded Celebrity Stars in their Eyes (as Edith Piaf), and appeared in Celebrity Wife Swap with Channel 4 racing commentator John McCririck. In September 2007 on the This Morning programme she lived for a week on the roof of the ITV building on London's South Bank with only a laptop for company. In late 2008 she presented a BBC special on the 40th anniversary of Dr Beeching's railway cuts.

heather mills speaker
Heather Mills has come a very long way from her humble beginnings in Washington, a small town in the North East of England. Her journey has been filled with much intense experience, which has taken her all around the world through a myriad of situations and circumstances. From the cardboard box realities and dangerous uncertainty of living on the street to a more privileged lifestyle of greater wealth Heather has seen it, been there, done it. Heather's relentless selfless determination to make a difference has been a consistent theme throughout her life. It is this strength of will in adversity and positive mental attitude that enables her to get things done and she uses her strengths positively for the benefit of many. If you wanted a mountain to be moved by willpower alone, you’d bet on Heather Mills. Heather has a very special ability to absorb the valuable experiences of her life and learn from them and always manages to find the positive in a situation however difficult the circumstances.Heather's life changed forever when in August 1993 she was involved in a road accident with a police motorcycle and suffered numerous injuries including crushed ribs, a punctured lung, multiple fractures of the pelvis and the loss of her left leg below the knee. It was Heather's single minded determination during her recovery that shone through when she received much media attention after her accident and many people claimed to have become motivated and inspired themselves by her positive attitude and approach to her recovery. With the intense media interest in her quick recovery, and her inherent ability to identify an opportunity to help those in need she set up the Heather Mills Health Trust to use redundant artificial limbs from the UK and redistribute them in the then former Yugoslavia. Just one year after this accident, Heather arranged for the first convoy of artificial limbs to be sent to Croatia. Since then over 400,000 amputees and survivors of landmine explosions around the world have been helped. Heather’s personal experience as an amputee and the positive manner in which she dealt with her own recovery gives Heather a unique insight and affinity with those who themselves have lived through a tragic experience. Heather uses her experience and motivational abilities when counselling people from around the world who have lost limbs in accidents, through illness, natural disasters and terrorist atrocities.Her personal advice, determination and commitment help them and their families realise that they too can continue to lead rich and fulfilling lives despite their injuries. It was in this spirit that Heather recently appeared on the Hit US Television show Dancing with the Stars proving this point in spectacular cart wheeling style and donating her fee to the Charity Viva! Over the years Heather has developed into one of the best motivational speakers on the circuit as it is not just those that have experienced severe trauma that can benefit from Heathers particular brand of motivational magic. Heather is a renowned Keynote speaker contacted regularly by businesses, societies and various groups to give inspirational talks, to an audience consisting of anything from 30 to 3,000 people, and lasting from twenty minutes to two hours. Not needing any notes gives her the ability to address the workforce or membership of any field on a universal theme and has taken Heather as Guest speaker to meetings all around the world. A life as rich and diverse as Heather’s brings a human element to any topic, and makes a refreshing change from your typical podium-hanging, paper rustling speaker. Heather has learned how to turn the most negative of situations into the most productive, drawing on her boundless energy reserves, and a strength of mind and resourcefulness that has enabled her to achieve so much in so little time, overcoming hurdles that would have stopped most of us before we had even started. Heather speaks from the heart not from the carefully crafted pen of public relations professionals.

Simon Weston speaker
In 1982 the Sir Galahad was destroyed in Bluff Cove on the Falkland Islands. On board was Simon Weston, Welsh Guardsman, a name and face that was going to become well known for his struggle to overcome his injuries (46% burns) and redefine his role in life. Simon's message is one of achievement, of triumph over adversity, of seizing the moment and succeeding. Today Simon takes the opportunity to convey his story in order to motivate and encourage those, who like him, want to move on to the next goal, whatever it may be! The only obstacles to achieving one's targets and successes are those you create for yourself. His words never fail to inspire you. Simon's irrepressible humour, infectious enthusiasm and immediately engaging personality, have made him the number one choice of many companies who invite him back to speak time and again. An inspiring and moving keynote speaker, Simon is also a wonderful and humorous after dinner speaker. Following his injuries, Simon's road to physical, spiritual and mental recovery saw him active in a number of highly successful ventures including 'The Weston Spirit', a Liverpool-based young people's charity. He remains a tireless worker for the Royal British Legion and the Royal Star and Garter Home. His charitable work earned him an OBE in the 1992 Queen's Birthday Honours. He was also awarded Freedom of the City of Liverpool in 2002 in recognition of his bravery and his charity work in the region. He has appeared in the Top 100 Merseysiders list in 2003 and honoured as one of the top 100 Welsh Heroes in 2004.

Paul Fletcher mbe football player manager public speaker
Paul Fletcher mbe football player manager public speaker In 1967 aged 16, Paul Fletcher joined his home town Club Bolton Wanderers. In 1970 he became one of the country’s most expensive transfers when he joined Burnley Football Club for a Club record fee. During the next ten years he made over 400 appearances, mostly in the old First Division – now named The Premier League. After gaining four England under 23 International caps he was selected in Don Revie’s England squad, but a serious knee injury put paid to a full England call up. A second serious leg injury forced early retirement at the age of 32. Following a sixteen-year career as a professional footballer he has now become one of Europe’s leading Stadium experts joining a rare breed of ex professional footballers who have successfully made the transition from ‘team-sheet to balance-sheet’. His commercial career in Football began at the infamous, Colne Dynamoes FC in the late 1980’s. Since then he has had a meteoric rise starting as Chief Executive at Huddersfield Town where, over a six year period, he masterminded the award winning Alfred McAlpine Stadium voted the RIBA ‘Building of the Year ‘in 1995. In 1996 he then returned to his old Club Bolton Wanderers as Chief Executive at the new £40 million Reebok Stadium the BCI Building of the Year in 1998. In 1999, after two years at the Reebok, he was invited by the FA to become Commercial Director of the new £500 million Wembley National Stadium. To play at Wembley had been an unfulfilled lifetime ambition, but he had now arrived by an alternative route. After eighteen months, as costs escalated, he controversially walked away from the project commenting that he ‘needed to spend more time with his wife and family in the Lancashire sunshine’. Within weeks he took up the position as Chief Executive at the £64 million Ricoh Arena Coventry, which is destined to become one of the countries largest sports and leisure venues. On 1st January 2006 he was invited to join the Board of Coventry City Football Club as Managing Director. On 1st January 2008 he rejoined Burnley Football Club in a consultancy role as Development Director responsible for their new £30 million Business and Sports Village. He still lives with his wife and family in the sundrenched Rossendale valley in the heart of Lancashire close to Turf Moor Burnley and is an active member of the George Formby Appreciation Society. In the 2007 New Years Honours list he was awarded the MBE for services to Football.

Pete Goss round the world yacht race
Pete Goss round the world yacht race motivational speaker Pete Goss is a West Countryman and former Royal Marine who is no stranger to adventure. The Spirit of Mystery voyage was just the latest in a long line of seafaring adventures for Pete, but the 2006 Two-handed Round Britain and Ireland Yacht Race marked a return to competitive sailing for him Previously Pete competed in six transatlantic and two round-the-World races. The most recognized of these was the 1996/7 Vendee Globe non-stop single-handed round the world yacht race in his Open 50 yacht 'Aqua Quorum'. It was this race which turned Pete into a national hero for the dramatic rescue of fellow competitor Raphael Dinelli in hurricane-force winds. Pete was awarded the MBE by HM The Queen and the Legion d'Honneur by the French President. Pete’s other sailing exploits include training and leading a previously inexperienced crew of ten through what is generally held to be the toughest yacht race in the World – the British Steel Challenge (now known as the Global Challenge). The route goes the ‘wrong way’ around the World, against the prevailing winds and currents. Pete proudly led the team aboard Hofbrau into third place. In 1988 he defied convention by finishing second in the Carlsberg Single handed Transatlantic Race, sailing ‘Cornish Meadow’, a tiny catamaran just 26 feet in length. This was Pete’s first project, but proved that small, lightweight multi-hulls can be viable giant-killing race boats. More recently Pete gathered together the team and sponsors that enabled the construction of the World-famous giant catamaran 'Team Philips' – this was a five year project that ended with the sad loss of the boat, but thankfully not the crew, in a freak mid-Atlantic storm in December 2000. Pete doesn’t confine himself to sailing adventures though. He has competed in the infamous Three Peaks Challenge and is a frequent visitor to the North Pole – leading, motivating and coaching senior executives on both sides of the Atlantic.

philippe boucheron wine expert
Wine is a way of life for Philippe Boucheron. For some 37 years he has been writing on the subject and in 1987 he began broadcasting, organising tastings and even taking groups from the Sunday Times Wine Club and other organisations to vineyards as far afield as Champagne and the Cape. Philippe was the 1996 Wine Guild of the United Kingdom’s Regional Wine Writer of the Year. He is committed to improving the standards of communication about wines and spirits and is also very much involved in promoting awareness of the health giving properties of red wine. A keen advocate for maintaining the balance of nature, Philippe is an enthusiastic supporter of both organic and biodynamic wines. A regular after-dinner speaker, Philippe knows that people learn more by being entertained than by being talked at. As a result his talks and wine tastings are fascinating, sometimes even hilarious, but always informative. In 1999, with Richard Earl of Bradford, he founded the Heart of England Branch of the International Wine & Food Society and is currently branch chairman. In 2000 the Society published his monograph on Growers’ Champagne, which is understood to be the first publication on this subject in the English language. An enthusiastic Havana cigar aficionado, Philippe enjoys few things more than arranging splendid soirées. These are elegant dinners that conclude with a tutored 'smoke-in' of three choice Havanas accompanied by matching Cognacs, Ports or even Whiskies.

Thomas introduced himself to world rugby in 1995 with a last minute drop goal, defeating England in the Five Nations.

His talent and innate class were evident from his early days on the pitch running out for his home town of Mont-de-Marsan. He then transferred to European rugby heavyweights Toulouse, where Thomas was instrumental in helping them to win three successive domestic titles and the inaugural European Cup. After a stint at Castres Olympique, he followed in the footsteps of an elite family of international rugby legends to join Saracens. Very much a thinker and a clear communicator, Thomas was a columnist with the Guardian for over six years and is a regular on media platforms such the BBC and Sky, and was an ITV analyst during the last World Cup.

Paul Wallace
Paul Wallace is a former Ireland and British & Irish Lion who was once regarded as the world's best tight-head prop and his greatest moment as a player was the Lions' series victory against South Africa in 1997. He started all three Tests on this now legendary tour. In his club career he played for Munster, Blackrock, Saracens and Leinster and earned 48 international Test caps. He made his Test debut in the 1995 World Cup against Japan in Bloemfontein alongside his older brother Richard in a 50-28 win. Paul is part of a remarkable sporting family, as he and his two brothers have represented the Lions. Richard (a winger) played in 1993 against New Zealand and David (a flanker) played in 2009 against South Africa. In 2001 Paul suffered a serious broken ankle playing for Saracens. He showed strength of character to recover from this and return to rugby action with Leinster, but sadly this injury took it’s toll and forced him to finally hang up his boots in December 2001. As professional off the pitch as he was on it, on retiring Paul’s insights and understanding of the ‘dark arts’ of the scrum and general play were much in demand and his affable nature meant he’s regularly seen on our screens and heard on the radio. He’s a Sky favourite and was one of ITV’s 2007 World Cup analysts. A man who has been there, seen it and done it all, he is a great guy to relax over a few drinks to hear his fabulous stories of his time in the elite game. He is also great at delivering focused business presentations covering areas such as: Preparing for Success Mental ToughnessBuilding High Performance TeamsAttitude and Mental Toughness Home is Dublin, but working for a large real estate finance firm sees him frequently travelling between their offices in London and Dublin.

Hanieh Chehrehnegary pubic and motivational speaker
Hanieh Chehrehnegary pubic and motivational speaker Hanieh is an energetic, passionate and confident individual who oozes personality when speaking or presenting. Hanieh was inspired at an early age to become a speaker and presenter after giving her first presentation aged seven. It was at this time that she started to understand the dos and don’ts of presenting. Judges in a Cumbrian Dialect Competition declared Hanieh first in a competition after finding it extremely interesting that a girl whose first language is not English is able to speak an old English dialect. This was quickly picked up by local newspapers and ITV news allowing Hanieh to make the headlines. In 2002, Hanieh attended Roehampton University and it was here that she decided her dream to become a presenter and speaker was one not to be tampered with and chose to prepare and deliver presentations for her assessments. BBC Presenter, Trish Adudu held a seminar at University titled “Pitch Idol” offering students the chance to pitch programme ideas as well as offer them tips on getting into TV. After the seminar, Hanieh bombarded Trish with emails so Trish offered Hanieh work experience on her live show on BEN Television. This was in May 2005. Since then Hanieh has presented the entertainment news, produced the show every week and has hosted the show several times in Trish’s absence. After seeing her work, Life Success Consultant, Cynthia Eguridu offered Hanieh the host position on Life Success TV. This gave Hanieh the opportunity to interview top speakers and entrepreneurs including Bernie De Souza, Johnny Wimbrey and Alexander Amosu. Hanieh has since hosted many events and seminars for Cynthia Eguridu and Bernie De Souza and has recently shared the stage with Communication and Relationship Development Expert Dr. Robert Rohm after completing the Insights Institute Speakers Bootcamp. She has also completed Johnny Wimbreys Speak for Cash Mastery Course. In addition to this, Hanieh has completed many other projects such as reporting from Screen Nation Awards for Whoa!
