Advice & FAQs


Why book an external speaker or celebrity?   

However good your MD or other senior management may be at speaking, a quality external speaker or celebrity will add another dimension - a polish and professionalism that will lift the delegates spirits and help you achieve the objective of the event.  Whether it be a conference, gala dinner, away day or product launch, they will make a big difference and once you have experienced the benefits, you will never go back.

Why use a speaker bureau and why Speakers Corner? 

As a reputable speaker bureau we do not have an affiliation or allegiance to any individual act, entertainer or speaker, this allows us to recommend artistes in a completely honest and unbiased way.  In short, we offer completely objective and impartial advice on both the artiste's ability and their personality to fit into your organisation and deliver the goods. 

Clearly knowledge and understanding of who's who in the world of politics, sport, business, television and comedy is key to our game. With over 30 plus years worth of industry experience  we have a encyclopedic knowledge of who the great speakers are, both those that are known and those that are up and coming.  

I've never booked a speaker before. Where do I begin? 

We're the experts so pick up the phone and call us on 020 8866 8967 or email info@speakerscorner.co.uk and we’ll accompany you through what can be quite a daunting maze! We do not hard sell and are more than happy to just advise.

What will it cost me? 

The price for advice is free. However the price for a professional speaker or celebrity can range from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds.  We have speakers and personalities available whatever the budget and it's our job to help you find the very best person for your event.

Most fees are negotiable and will depend on a number of factors. We believe it to be totally inappropriate to quote individuals' fees on this site.  However, we are more than happy to give you an indication of costs once we have a full brief.  We always negotiate the very best possible prices for our clients.   

No booking – no fee? 

We offer a completely free service – our commission is within the artiste’s fee.  So, no booking, no fee.   Feel free to talk to us about any event – we are renowned for creative and innovative ideas.

Celebrity or unknown?  

Sometimes a celebrity is a must, but on other occasions an exceptional, relatively-unknown or up and coming speaker will cost a good deal less and may achieve your goals equally well, if not better.

I can't see the person I want on the website? 

There are literally thousands of acts that we hold on our database ranging from presenters, speakers, comedians, celebrities, sport personalities, politicians, trainers and business leaders.  However, we can only feature a small selection of our favourites on this website, if the person you require is not here, please give us a call on 020 8866 8967 or email info@speakerscorner.co.uk

How do I proceed with a booking? 

Please give us a call on 020 8866 8967 or email info@speakerscorner.co.uk. Once we've both decided who would be best suited for your event, we will guide you through the process and assist you right the way through from decision making to the post event de-brief.
