speeches & Events

A key part of my work has been making speeches – at a wide variety of events from corporate conferences to campaigning events.

I’ve spoken at trade association events covering products like chocolate, detergents, nappies, estates management and IT as well as made presentations for particular companies such as Shell, McDonalds, P&G, Orange and Reckitt Benckiser. Perhaps my biggest claim to fame was being the key note speaker at the Green Funeral Exhibition – or speaking alongside David Milliband (when he was Minister for the Environment) and Fiona Reynolds (Head of the National Trust) at a Question Time style debate. My style is light, accessible and often humerous.
