Lewis Gordon Pugh
Lewis Gordon is a powerful and motivating speaker, he tailors his conference speeches to a particular event and is equally adept speaking to large blue chip companies as he is speaking to students or government bodies around issues such as the environment, CSR and sustainability.
Lewis Gordon Pugh is one of Great Britain’s foremost swimmers. Over a period of 2 decades he has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer in history. In the process he has set 19 world records and become the first person to complete a long distance swim in every ocean of the world, including in the Arctic and Antarctic.
During his expeditions Lewis has witnessed substantial changes to the environment, many of which are as a result of climate change. In 2006 he was appointed an Ambassador of the World Wildlife Fund; and he now uses his swims to draw attention to the fact that climate change really is happening.
Lewis’s remarkable story is powerful and motivating. He has spoken to many different organizations around the world. He has addressed large international banks on leadership and teamwork, lectured students about how to achieve the impossible, and given after-dinner speeches to NGO’s and government bodies on protecting the environment. All his speeches are tailored to the specific needs and interests of the audiences.
