My service

Do you need to draft, edit or research a speech for an important occasion?

I can help.

Or maybe you’ve worked out what you want to say through AI and you want someone to humanise it for you?

Whether it’s for business or for a social event, investing in the support of professional writer can make a big difference.

It’s essential to translate your ideas into the language of public speaking.

I’ve written hundreds of speeches including high-profile work for a Dragons’ Den panellist, a Duke and a Premiership footballer.

I’m proud of my corporate work but I’ve also done dozens of wedding, birthday and anniversary speeches. My speciality is offering humorous content to confident speakers who want to impress a large audience.

I’ve also won a prestigious Cicero award for speechwriting.

In 2008 I was invited to go to Washington DC to talk about speechwriting at the annual Ragan Communications Conference. I came back with an idea to organise a similar conference in Europe.

That was the start of the European Speechwriter Network.

I organise conferences and events for speechwriters, bringing together the best talent from around the world.

If you enjoy speechwriting, and you would like to hear about the experiences it involves and learn how to excel at it yourself, I’ve created a new workshop, The Craft of Speechwriting, which you’re welcome to join.

I began my working life as a journalist working for the Telegraph, Guardian and eventually the Daily Mail. I have organised the UK Business Book Festival, UK Business Speaker of the Year and the UK Good Funeral Awards.

I’ve written eleven books Men & Collections, I’m Just Phoning to Chase My Invoice, Trade Secrets, Jokes, Anecdotes and One-Liners for Speechwriters, Eloquence, A Treasury of Speechwriting Advice and The Bohemian who took up Bookkeeping. I published, A Christmas Stocking, being a commonplace selection in 2019, 2020 and 2021. I then created A Speechwriter’s Notebook 2023, 2024 & 2025.

We all love to listen to speech that is filled with humour and wisdom. Get in touch if that’s what you would like me to help you deliver.
