We love working with a diverse and exciting array of clientele, from global enterprises, institutions and governments to small businesses and individuals. Take a closer look below to see what some of our previous clients have said about us.
"It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt, the whole process from sourcing an appropriate speaker to the event itself has been really straight forward.
"Working together with regular communication has enabled us to progress with the event without any worries, making booking a speaker one less thing to worry about when organising an event!"
Charlotte, on behalf of Canon UK.
"As one of Britain’s leading leisure airlines and package holiday companies – we run events up and down the country to support our continued growth. We’ve worked with Champions UK on a number of occasions since 2016 - and the team have helped us give our brand events some added celebrity sparkle. We’ve always found Champions UK to be hugely proactive and more than capable of work to extremely tight deadlines. Working with them is a pleasure and nothing seems like too much trouble. We’re looking forward to working with the friendly team at Champions UK for our next star-studded event! – Steve Adamson, Marketing & Brand manager at Jet2.com and Jet2Holidays".

"We recently hosted our first annual Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Day, and had a day full of external speakers hosting truly exceptional talks. We wanted the day to celebrate our rich diversity, and with the speakers arranged through Champions we were able to do exactly that.
"Chris arranged a briefing call with all of our speakers a few weeks before the event so they could really get an understanding of what we were looking to gain from the day, and in particular from their talks. The result was fantastic - inspiring, thought-provoking and educational sessions, and the feedback from all colleagues who attended was brilliant.
"This was the first time arranging external speakers through Champions, and it certainly won't be the last. The support on the day was fab, and Chris was on hand throughout should there be any issues (there weren't by the way, the speakers turned up on time and were fully briefed and ready to go). Working remotely has brought with it it's own set of challenges, but organising the speakers on the day was certainly not one of them.
"Thanks so much for your help in making the day such a success, I can't wait to work with you again in the future (starting with the next speaker we've got lined up in a few week's time!)."
"I will be short and concise but it’s mainly because everything went really well. The conversations with you to prepare the contract, the script and the storyboard were easy and productive; we just needed one call to go through some of those steps, you understood our needs and there were no problems at all. And at the same time you facilitate the work with Paula and she was awesome! Loved to work with you and hope we can work again soon." - Marta, McKinsey & Company Inc
"It was great, definitely a highlight of our event! Thanks for checking!" - Alex, Solution Associate Partner Battery & Energy Storage Insights, McKinsey & Company Inc
"Thank you to Champions for helping us organise Ken as a speaker to our EMEA Management Committee – it was something very different to what we usually do and Champions helped with the short timeline and understanding our needs from the start. Ken was a great hit with the team and will be a talking point for some time to come!" - Sinead, L’Oreal
"Champions were a delight to work with. From the initial inquiry all the way through to feedback after the event, they were responsive and on hand for any queries we may have. Lucy was proactive in setting up meetings and ensuring that both Francesca and I had everything we needed for the awards evening. Thank you for creating such a smooth process and I look forward to working with you in the future." - Hannah, Financial Times
"Many thanks for following up, and for the great effort you made to ensure all content was delivered. I really appreciated your joining all the pre-pro calls and staying with us throughout the process. Thank you! Thank you again for your partnership all along the way. We look forward to working together again in the future and wish you and your team the very best." - Holly, Ciena

As a result I look forward to further contact with you in the future and will, no doubt, be back in touch, particularly in respect of this same event next year. In the meantime, I wish you continued success, and thank you, once again." - Duncan Stansfield, Aviva

“Thanks so much for supporting with our speaker for yesterday, I know it was last minute but you were such a great help!” - Gemma
"I write as Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Business and Law at De Montfort University, Leicester. On a number of projects Champions have worked with both the wider university and the Faculty and have always been highly professional and extremely enthusiastic in all aspects of their work. They have access to leading entrepreneurs in all spheres of business and commerce as well as leading public sector personnel. Probably the best example of their involvement with DMU has been via sponsorship of Fox’s Lair, a business course module with some thirty distinguished entrepreneurs acting as mentors, something which serves to provide direct contact to the world of business for our undergraduate students. It is a tremendous success and Champions plc are at the heart of it. My experience over many years has been that Champions plc provides a bespoke service of the highest standard." - David

Can’t fault the service that Champions has provided us and look forward to continuing our partnership as we move forward into a very exciting 2017! Many thanks to Benny and the team.” Betsafe
"Our Annual Dinner is now regarded as one of the top cricket functions in Wales with over 200 attending every year. We have been lucky with the quality of our speakers for many years but had never used Champions before.
From start to finish, Champions were just so professional and a pleasure to work with, not at all "stuffy" or aloof. Once Jack had helped us book Hoggy, Charlotte took over - organising our event is hard work but her courteous efficiency & reliability certainly made life much easier our end!"
Simon Lloyd, Mumbles C.C
"Many thanks for providing such top quality speakers. They were brilliant! The whole event exceeded our expectations, so thank you Cat. It’s been great working with you."

An extremely trustworthy and reliable company with an amazing caring and professional team representing them. I can not recommend them highly enough!
U.S. Bank has been using Champions for celebrity appearances and keynote speakers for a number of years now.

Great communication throughout the process including helping us set up a briefing call with Debra ahead of the event." - Yee, Deloitte

The distinguishing factor from my perspective, when working with Champions, is the people – a real family business that you cannot help feel part of when you are working with them! We have built a solid partnership over the years and continue to see it flourish". - Nick Winder FCILT, Retail Sector Director, Eddie Stobart
As a new company added to the Champions speakers bureau I would like to express our gratitude for the pleasant, professional and swift service that we received whilst dealing with you. Having worked with other speakers bureaus we can confidently say that our experience with Champions exceeded expectations that had been set by other companies that we’ve worked with. We look forward to being part of the Champions team." John Lansdowne - CounterStrike

Everyone really enjoyed today and are already action planning from what they have learnt!

We may be planning another speaker event sometime next year and will definitely be in contact with you if we do.

Champions provided an amazing service from start to finish. I contacted them asking for a speaker for a specific event and they provided me with a shortlist of potential options that were highly recommended. Champions worked with the limited budget that I had and were open and transparent throughout with any costs that would be incurred.
The planning of our event seemed way too easy as Champions liaised with and arranged timings and the whole set up with our speaker – Gareth Thomas, an inspirational, humble and truly approachable and friendly guy. The feedback on the event was fantastic, Gareth’s event helped our conversation on diversity and inclusion to become even more open. Thank you Champions for your support and advice throughout.

“We couldn’t have been happier with the service that we received from Champions. At short notice, Serena Murphy and Cat Mitchell secured Greg Rutherford MBE for a rowing event with our client, SAS. Greg was an absolute pleasure to deal with and couldn’t have done more, and feedback from staff and athletes at SAS and British Rowing was glowing. Communication from Champions was superb from start to finish and we wouldn’t hesitate to use their services and Greg again for future events. Thank you!” - Tim, rEvolution

“To celebrate our Leeds based sports and social club reaching 25 years we organised a ball. As Leeds United won the football league title in the same year we were born we felt it fitting to have our event at Elland Road and to try and acquire one of the winning team to be our special guest for the evening. Champions UK helped us secure Gary McAllister for our event and from beginning to end they could not have been more helpful. They kept in touch every step of the way, from first booking with them in April right through to September when the ball was held. I would highly recommend Champions UK for after dinner speakers. From start to finish everything went smoothly and Serena was wonderful to work with.”
"I reached out to Champions after seeing the many interesting speakers they had relationships with. I didn’t know exactly who I wanted but after speaking briefly with them, Mark came back with some excellent recommendations to suit our needs. They stayed within budget. I asked for lots of different options and the person that was recommended first by Champions and most highly was the person we ended up going with. They had really understood what we were looking for. Would absolutely use again." – Laura
"I wanted to thank you Abbee and the Champions team for all your help both in the lead up to the dinner and in keeping us posted on the day when we were fretting about our speaker's arrival. It made all the difference in the world having you administering that side of things for us and I have to say your recommendations were spot on. I look forward to working with you and Champions again." - Nicola, MTA
“In relation to Champions and in particular your services from the offset I felt that I was able to contact you with the slightest of issues. You have been professional and attentive and responsive to evert request or concern that I have had. You ensured that everything was in place and organised perfectly. I am very happy with the service provided and will without a doubt consider both yourself and Champions as my first point of contact should I ever in the future require an after dinner speaker. Excellent professional service provided, thank you so much.” - Loredana, IWC
“I would like to thank you very much for being so helpful, you have made the negotiation process much more comfortable for us, especially with adding the second shooting date for Tiff on a short notice.

"At the end of March 2018, I worked with Serena at Champions to help organise a sportsman’s dinner to raise money to take a boys under 13 football team away to Holland. At the start of the process I had a rough idea as to what the evening was going to look like, but had no idea as to who would be a good guest for the event. I found Serena to be very helpful, she had a good knowledge of the type of speakers she could contract, their style and understood why they would work for the type of event we were looking to put on. After a few discussions we had selected a speaker (Terry Butcher). Serena set out very clearly how Terry liked to work, which was helpful in ensuring the event ran smoothly. Once Terry had agreed to supporting the Dinner, Serena arranged for me to have a phone call with her and Terry. It was great to see the interaction between Serena and Terry, it was clear that she had a worked with him before which allowed me to feel relaxed around him. The event went very well, Terry was a real gentleman and a great guest. The support I received from Serena before and after the event was of the highest standard. I would have no hesitation in working with Serena or Champions again, in fact I would look forward to it.” Darren Ingram - Chief Operating Officer - Velocity Composites Plc.
“Champions Speakers, and Serena in particular, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made sure that everything was ready for the day and even when our original speaker dropped out at the last minute, they worked very hard to replace him. It was an incredibly successful event and couldn’t have gone any better!” - Robyn, Efficio Ltd
"Champions [Speakers] found us an outstanding speaker for an event we hosted in Berlin. They came up with several good options, providing recommendations and reviews on each to ensure we landed on the ideal speaker for the event.
"Throughout, they were highly professional and a pleasure to work with!"
"I contacted Champions on behalf of my rugby club after a speaker for our annual dinner. Following my initial enquiry, I was contacted by Mark who couldn't do any more to aid the process. He provided me with a plethora of information regarding the speakers within our budget along with his recommendations and quickly chased up those shortlisted and subsequently Jeff Probyn whom we had chosen in the end. Mark was extremely helpful throughout, arranging a call between ourselves and Jeff and frequently touching base with me to ensure everything was running smoothly. All round it was a fantastic service provided by both Mark and Jeff and we will certainly be returning next year!"
St Bernadettes Old Boys RFC, Bristol
"Just a quick note to say thank you VERY much indeed for last night’s dinner – what a complete privilege to be in that intimate setting in such an iconic venue, and to get the chance to meet Gareth as well as lots of friends and colleagues. Certainly I will be keeping Champions information. I really hope that we get to work with you again." - Kate
"Thank you for contacting me following last nights event, this was the first event like this that we have organised so were slightly unsure on what to expect and how the evening would plan out. Thankful, to say that the evening went very well and all in attendance enjoyed the evening. The process from start to finish with Champions was easy and straightforward, Champions made sure that we were provided with options that met our budget and met our brief. As a Local Authority we would happily look to Champions for any future guest speaker requirements that we may have. Thanks again for Lewis."- (Matt, Havant Borough Council)
Wow. A true gentleman. Polite and courteous to everyone. Peter's speech to my boys was delivered to perfection and on a level that the boys understood. He spoke about his beginnings in his career and how hard it was then. He urged my players to try to achieve there goals and if it happens then all well and good but if it doesn’t just make sure you enjoy your football He spoke about the hand of god goal and other key moments in his playing career that kept my boys interest and glued to there seats. Presented each boy with there trophy and smiled all the way through. He then signed autographs and posed for photos with everyone. I cannot thank you enough for arranging this for me as the teams had an excellent night. I would recommend Peter Shilton to any one having a football function. A true gentleman and a legend. I look forward to using your company for next year’s presentation but honestly think it would be hard to beat this year’s event. Thanks again.
“From the start, we received very helpful service from Serena. She was there every step of the way helping us find the perfect speaker for our event, everything was clear and we had check ins regularly. The speaker was incredible and the service was excellent so we will be using Champions again.”
- Sacha, Hargreaves Lansdown
"I would like to say that it was a pleasure working with Peter and Willie on the night of our Celebrity Dinner. Both of them were happy to speak to guests, sign autographs and pose for photos where required. Willie did a fantastic job with the live auction, pulling some good bids in when it seemed unlikely. Nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend them to anyone else looking at potential speakers at events." - Andy
Please could you pass on our huge thanks and a lot of love from our U80 for Kate?

No matter what our event, if we need a celebrity host or hot off the press entertainment, Champions deliver time and again. Cat and all the staff at Champions are a pleasure to work with and have truly become an extension of our team."

Champions have ensured we are fully informed and up to date at every stage and highlighted opportunities for us to increase our profile and awareness, both at the events and in the press. I genuinely look forward to working with Champions on the projects that we support and would have no hesitation to work with them again." - Jade
Champions have always delivered excellent speakers for our client corporate events, so I knew who to contact when we received a challenging brief.
Our client was running a seminar for veterinarian professionals to not only educate their audience, but to also offer something unique and non-technical but still relevant to the audience on a professional level with the aim of offering something 'different' to the delegates. With the event being held in Bordeaux we decided a celebrity chef would be a perfect choice and Champions suggested Rachel Allen.
The objective wasn't to demonstrate Rachel's cooking skills but to share her experience within a high-pressured profession with the ability to manage and cope under pressure, deliver outstanding service and to inspire those feeling daunted at the prospect of having a successful professional career whilst keeping a good work/life balance.
The seminar was a great success, attracted far more delegates than expected and we received fantastic reviews from those who attended. Both Rachel and champions were extremely professional throughout the project and a complete delight to work with.
"You have been a pleasure Serena. You’re always available if there's a query and you’re knowledgeable, professional and very reassuring. I realise that there's often a great deal of patience required when dealing with us as timelines are often very fluid and so you do need to chase me! I was very appreciative to have you helping me and found your communication style, and the frequency with which you kept in touch, to be absolutely right."- Maggie, Car Shops Limited
Destination Southampton have engaged with Champions since 2009 to provide our clients with event speakers. We have always been extremely impressed with the service provided by Champions. Jack and his colleagues ensure that our clients are engaging with the speaker ahead of the event by organising briefing calls. They always contact us for audience feedback following an event. We truly enjoyed working with Michael Portillo and Sharon Davies most recently and would not hesitate in recommending the services of Champions Speakers.
Shirley Pinn Managing Director

"Oliver was great – everyone really enjoyed it, and our CEO speaks fluent German so they talked prior to the meeting and caught up. Plus he’s incredibly knowledgeable about Bayern Munich and is a season ticket holder himself, so it was a really great conversation to witness. We’ll be in touch later in the year as we think about next year’s programming!" - Sarah O'Brien
"Champions were a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

The NWL Chamber of Commerce have used Champions Speakers for multiple projects. Read the feedback that we've received from them below.
"We chose Champions after carefully researching providers of entertainers and speakers, they appeared to have a good reputation.

Taunton Round Table have booked with Champions on more than one occasion. See the feedback they gave us below.
"I am pleased to report that Friday Night was a great success and Shane Williams went down a storm. His down to earth personality was very well received along with his Client friendly attitude which was impeccable and everyone commented what a nice person he was, especially the top table guests.. All things considered it was a fantastic evening and with Shane's help they managed to raise £15k for a local charity, The Conquest Centre ( Riding for the Disabled.)"
"Our charity fundraising event is organised by people who also have a day to day job but Champions [Speakers] took the stress out of booking the celebrity and were very easy to deal with when we had timings changes. In the 21 years of running the event this was the smoothest experience we’ve had with booking celebrities. We’ll definitely be in touch for next year!"
"With a team of people that are extremely professional, but refreshingly down to earth and honest, I knew immediately that we had approached the right people to secure a big name for the launch of our new Sport and Life Sciences degrees. From the offset, we were taken care of every step of the way; from selecting which sports star we wanted to negotiating contracts and from their meticulous planning to ensuring the logistics on the day were slick. Enabling Louis Smith to launch our new Sport and Life Sciences courses created an immediate buzz within Birmingham itself when he visited, but his visit has proved inspirational internally, encouraging staff to focus and go the extra mile as we head towards the degrees commencing in September 2017. I look forward to working with Champions (UK) plc again and again and again…"
"From the moment we had identified the speaker who matched our needs, Champions Speakers were simply outstanding. Their regular communication, prompt replies to questions we had and reassurance that our requirements were being fulfilled left me feeling that we were in expert hands.

We will certainly be recommending their services to other schools and be using them ourselves in the future.’ Jamie - Headteacher, Berkhamsted Prep School
"Champions speakers managed to secure Christian Horner, team principal of the Red Bull racing team in a busy Formula 1 season (which is no small task to do). They are very easy to work with, always very responsive, always there to help both the speakers and the client. The audience and our employees were really impressed by his content and its delivery. Everyone was thrilled about the session from start to finish. We had a unanimous feedback score, a 5 out of 5 rating from all the respondents for that session! Which is the highest rated session we ever had. I would highly recommend Champions for booking your speakers and make your events successful." - Service Max

We have had so much to plan in across the year more broadly across HR and coordinating everything has been a challenge so being able to move Andrew's date really helped. Looking forward to working together on the next few events we have coming up!" - Sarah, HR Specialist, Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett LLP
"I want to thank you both for your help with our booking. You were quick to respond and arrange things which for us was ideal having not organised anything like this for the company for over 15 years. It has been mooted that we will be doing something along these lines on a yearly basis going forward and I will have no hesitation in getting in touch again to book further speakers with you." - Yvonne, Group Support Manager, Clearsprings Group

"Working with the Champions Speakers team was a pleasure. In a very short time, Mark suggested many options with details of the speaker and their backgrounds & area of expertise. This helped us, as clients to fine-tune our options to suit our needs. Despite a rather short lead time, the team at Champions Speakers was able to meet our requirement of an energetic and meaningful speaker who met our needs most completely. Thank you to the team at Champions UK PLC for helping us make our event memorable and meaningful" - Vijay, Unilever
