Our Speaker

We're delighted to tell you that our after dinner speaker is Garry Richardson. A BBC broadcaster for over 30 years, Garry is best known as a sports presenter on a number of prestigious radio and television programmes. However, his big love is performing on the after dinner circuit.

His speeches consist of amazing anecdotes about his life in broadcasting, including his incredible interview with Bill Clinton in Wimbledon's Royal Box. Over the years, he has interviewed a galaxy of stars.

During the past year or so, Garry has spoken for the AA, Audi, British Airways, Coutts Bank, Tesco, KPMG, the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, IBM, various societies of chartered accountants, a number of insurance institutes, RBS, the Securities Institute, HSBC, Savills and the Institute of Directors, to name but a few.
