Client Comments

“Neil, has  spoken at 4 major conferences in the last 10 months in the guise of L. Vaughan Spencer and on each occasion his act has been extremely well received by different audiences ranging from junior management to executive level colleagues, both male and female. The act is a hilarious antidote to a day of serious corporate messages and yet, ironically, potentially aligned to some of those messages; e.g. pushing personal performance. Neil is a highly polished and professional Entertainer and as L. Vaughan Spencer he delivers the requisite "wow" factor often missing in after dinner speakers. I have no hesitation in recommending him.”

“We all feel succeederised and  the spirit of L-Vo will live long in our hearts as was evident by the ladies from marketing singing the "Succeedy-Succeedy" anthem on the coach home. Steve is nursing his woundsand we have recommended your book "chicken nuggets for the soul" to him and will be providing him some motivational muffins to improve his newly acquired L-oser status. A big thank you from me and all the folks here whohave been singing your praises since the event.”
 DIRECT LINE

"Neil (as L-Vo) did a fantastic job for us in energising and entertaining the Top 100 Executives in our business with a quick witted and satirical view on what it takes to be an effective leader. He was brilliant at quickly incorporating relevant Unilever content into his act and had us all in stitches with his pointed humour. I would thoroughly recommend using him for any occasion where the objective is to provoke and entertain."
