I am based in Cheltenham, which puts Bristol well under an hour away up the M5, so a Bristol event is a straightforward day booking for me with no overnight stay and no hotel bill, and travel is charged at plain mileage only. It also means I can come in beforehand to meet your organising team and understand what your people are actually dealing with, so the session is built around them rather than delivered off the shelf.
Bristol has one of the largest financial services, insurance and technology communities outside London, and that is exactly where I do some of my most valuable work, including a series of training sessions for Bristol-based Redcentral that received great feedback from the teams who took part. Long hours, constant change, smaller teams carrying heavier workloads and the pressure of being always available are pushing a lot of capable people towards burnout, and a staff conference or training day is often the moment an organisation decides to do something about it.
As South West Regional President of the Professional Speaking Association for 2025–26, I am closely connected to the speaking and events community across the region, which is useful if you are building a programme with several speakers and would like introductions to other trusted professionals.
