About Speakers Corner
Who are we and how do we work with event organisers like you?
Speakers Corner is the UK’s leading speaker bureau. Creative, impartial, supportive and responsive—our values are more than words. They shape how we work and how we show up for our clients, speakers, and the wider events community.
We take the time to listen, understand your goals, and recommend speakers who align with your vision and audience. Every booking is a collaboration, not a transaction—and we’re proud to build long-term relationships based on trust, insight, and shared success.
We hold ourselves to high standards—we listen to speakers for a living, after all. That means you’re in capable hands from the very first conversation.
Our team combines deep expertise with a genuinely friendly approach. We’re here to make the process smooth, enjoyable, and exciting—because bringing stories to life on stage is what we do best.
The Speakers Corner Story
Speakers Corner runs on passion (and, if we’re honest, coffee). We care deeply about what we do — inspiring people to achieve more through storytelling and speaking.
Since our MD Nick Gold joined Speakers Corner in 2004, we’ve gone from a fledgling bureau to an international events powerhouse. Nick’s brother Tim joined as director three years later, and the rest is history. Now, we’ve got more than 9000 speakers on our books, and we’re trusted by more than 3,000 clients every year with both in-person and virtual events.
With more than 40 years of creating unforgettable event experiences behind us, we stop at nothing to find, book, and facilitate the perfect speaker for your event.
Our Vision and Values
We’re different from other speaker bureaus. While we have some of the most sought-after celebrity speakers on our books, we’re under no obligation to any of them. That means we’re free to put your vision first. And it’s why our values are so important to us:
We never push our own agenda, or that of our speakers. Instead, we focus on what you want to say, and match you with a speaker who can deliver a pitch-perfect message.
We’re B Corp Certified
In 2023, we became a proud B Corp Certified business—a milestone that reflects our commitment to using business as a force for good.
B Corp Certification is a rigorous process that measures how we operate across key areas, including social responsibility, environmental impact, transparency, and governance. It holds us to the highest standards—and that’s exactly where we believe we should be.
Joining the global B Corp community is a natural step for us. Integrity and impact have always guided how we treat our team, support our clients and speakers, and contribute to the wider world.
We’re proud of this achievement, but we see it as just the beginning. Our B Corp journey is ongoing, and we’re constantly looking for ways to improve, evolve, and deepen our commitment to positive change.

We work with clients across every sector—from global brands and innovative start-ups to public sector organisations, charities, and creative agencies. Whether it's a leadership summit, internal training, company away day or major industry conference, we help you find the right speaker to engage your audience and elevate your event.
Our experience spans various industries, including finance, technology, healthcare, retail, media, and education. We understand the unique goals and challenges different audiences bring—and how the right speaker can make all the difference.
