What People Are Saying

After meeting Matt at an event, I knew we wanted him to speak at our summer lunch, hosted by Brufords and Rolex. Matt personalised his fascinating talk about rowing the Atlantic, with Rolex taglines that fit seamlessly. Delivered in his unique and engaging style, he hit the spot perfectly with our guests. We all felt like we were in the boat with him, as he described the extraordinary highs and lows as huge as the Atlantic waves he had rowed through. His Q&A section was the perfect wrap up, with many asking questions, because they all wanted to hear more of his amazing adventure.

Ashley Pugh, Managing Director Brufords/Rolex

We recently booked Matt to speak to a packed audience of business leaders at the Amex Stadium in Brighton. Our members were absolutely blown away by Matt's stories and experiences. Truly inspirational, he took us on a journey and delivered his talk with humour, intellect and humility. Highly recommended to anyone looking to combine real life business experience with adventure.

Big Business Breakfast Club

WOW, having only just met Matt I can honestly say what an inspirational guy. Matt took a session taking a group through using practical tools and techniques on how to ensure that your sales team delivers constantly. The session promoted self reflection, challenged current methods and targeted areas of opportunities to create change.

Nottingham Manufacturers Association  

Matt delivered an amazing half day session with members of The Supper Club and Matt received outstanding 100% positive feedback from all of the delegates. Matt is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and highly engaging public speaker, and I would definitely recommend him to other business leaders for keynotes and workshops.
