Our History

When MD Nick Gold joined in 2004, Speakers Corner was a small family business. He immediately started cultivating a vision of turning it from its fledgling position in the after dinner entertainment world, into a leading international speaker bureau.

With masses of optimism; bucketloads of coffee, and a world of determination to grow the business, he employed some clever and hardworking people; rented an office, and suddenly it became a reality. Speakers were coming on board, clients were showing an interest…and we were off!

By the time his brother Tim came on board as director in 2007, the business was competing with the top speaker bureaux in the country.

Now a thriving, growing company, the skilled team has over 40 years of industry experience and an expansive knowledge of the best international motivational speakers, after dinner speakers, conference facilitators, keynote speakers and awards hosts.

Working with speakers from politics, sport, business, TV and comedy, Speakers Corner provides genuinely impartial advice on the ideal speaker. We don’t manage anyone exclusively and we will only recommend those who fit the bill perfectly. We plan and manage the negotiations, contracts and logistics, and go above and beyond to make the process seamless and the event a success.

Today it incubates companies primarily in the energy sector. At Sahara, they operate in an environment where individuals are not only encouraged to strive for excellence in their work, but to also enjoy the experience. For Sahara’s 15th Anniversary Celebration Speakers Corner organised world renowned magician Dynamo to entertain and amaze 3000 guests in Lagos, and the event was a huge success.
