Speaker Updates - June 2022
It’s hard to believe we are half way through the year already!
We have been hard at work (and loving it) taking on new speakers to ensure we have a diverse and broad range of speakers on all topics.
As well as our continued relationships with our fabulous clients, we have also been working with new clients, sourcing speakers for ‘larger than life’ events.
We also have a new employee – Chelsea, that has joined us and we are delighted that she can bring a new side to the business. Chelsea was part of the Kickstart Scheme, who did such an amazing job over those 6 months that we couldn’t let her go! Chelsea manages the website, speaker profiles, social media content creation and is learning the ropes as a speaker agent… watch this space!

Martine Wright MBE , 7/7’s most injured survivor lost both legs in the Circle line bombing during the 2005 terrorist attacks on the London underground, yet she considers herself a lucky woman with a whole new life of opportunities.

On 6 July 2005 Martine Wright MBE and work friends gathered to watch the announcement of the host city for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games. The next morning, having overslept, Martine MBE caught the Circle line and sat just three feet away from suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer. The worst injured, and consequently last rescued survivor of the 7/7 bombings, Martine MBE was trapped for over an hour having lost 80% of her blood supply as well as both legs above the knees. There followed a painful year of rehabilitation including learning to walk again on prosthetics.
