Clients comments include: “Chris went down a storm – they loved him! Apparently he enjoyed himself too – the audiences were large 750 on the first day and 630 on the second and he had them in the palm of his hand throughout. He was the highlight of the conference and made up for all the tedious other presentations that the audience had to endure…..so very positive response.” Julia Brewer, Mirage Events
“Fantastic talk Chris. Feedback has been universally positive. It has really challenged the way we think about risk.” Barclays Bank Plc
