Roger Bootle
Roger Bootle is one of the UK’s best-known economists. He is Chairman at his own consultancy, Capital Economics, and is a weekly columnist for the Daily Telegraph. He is also a Specialist Adviser to the House of Commons Treasury Committee and an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries. Professional and incredibly knowledgeable on the latest changes in the political and economic landscape, Roger is highly sought-after on the speaking circuit.
Roger gave a first class delivery with very clear and forthright views on the subject of the forthcoming European Referendum and 'Brexit'. He maintained the room's attention and at no time did I see anyone looking lost or bored with the content of his speech. During the dinner and after Roger's initial speech a lively discussion was had between the hosts and guests on all tables generated by some of his thought provoking points of view. At the end of the event the floor was opened up to a Q&A session with Roger once again giving clear responses to the questions put to him. I have received numerous positive comments about our choice of speaker and it was as a result of Roger's delivery, the timing of the subject matter and the choice of venue that made the evening very successful.
