Official Feedback for Crispin Reed:
"Crispin managed to grab everyone’s attention from the word go at our annual Beauty Symposium in London and delivered a very insightful talk, "Smashing Stereotypes" with a delightful twist. With the extremely clever use of prosthetic makeup, Crispin transformed his appearance in front of the audiences’ eyes and, with his unique perspective and depth of knowledge, challenged perceptions. A really inspiring and relevant presentation delivered with great passion, he certainly put his heart and a huge amount of effort into the detail. Crispin was not only very convincing (as an 85 year old man) but also a real delight." Michelle, Head of Operations, The Rest Tree Strategic Consultancy
"Crispin came and spoke on 'Unearthing killer customer insights' at our recent event RARE Forum. His presentation was both insightful and engaging and his contribution throughout the day helped make the day. I have the highest respect for Crispin and his experience and I can't recommend him highly enough." - Adrian, Customer Experience Advisor
