Running an industry event for 120 ppl next year West London. Weve got most of the speakers sorted but would like 1 or 2 different topics. One being a after dinner speaker, but also something around mental health - suicide is high in our industry (medical), so this would seem a good fit.

Google lists 100's speaker agencies and have thousands of speakers, sports personalities (and every z-list wannabe between) on their books - I have zero dealings here professionally or personally so any experiences greatly received

No experience of MH, but events yes. My immediate thought was an ex high-profile sports personality. But one sufficiently recovered that they will actually turn up for your event.

Off the top off my head.

Started by Gooner & England centre half, Tony Adams.

May be worth a call or email.


ETA: I was in 'the trade'. They have a good reputation. Though, if dont know if they provide the service that you are looking for.
