Sir Clive Woodward
Motivational speech in Monaco
The Rugby World Cup winning head coach and Team GB Director of Sport for London 2012 flew down to Monaco to join the Merial European Sales Teams for a pre-launch meeting. 170 sales people from across Europe, many of them not familiar with the rules of Rugby, were energized before dinner by Sir Clive Woodwards’ presentation, with the objective of changing the sales mentality from defence to attack! A thought provoking speaker, Sir Clive entertains and informs audiences leaving them inspired and motivated. Sir Clive Woodward has recently written a post for our blog.

Bernard Gallacher
Client Golf Day at Gleneagles
Bernard Gallacher proved a huge hit with guest golfers at the Cameron Flow golf day at Gleneagles. Bernard joined guests at breakfast for a meet & greet prior to Tee off, before joining up with the teams again at the 14th hole for a Beat the Pro challenge, where they had a chance to pit their skills against the golfing legend. In the evening Bernard delivered a seamless after dinner speech and handed out awards to the guests. But did anyone manage the Beat the Pro Prize?
Colin Jackson
Keynote speech in Marseille to Airbus Helicopters Conference
100 Senior Business Executives from Airbus international gathered at their HQ in Marseille to listen to Colin Jackson deliver a motivational keynote speech. The Welsh former sprint and hurdling athlete, who took silver in the 110m hurdles at the Seoul Olympic Games in 1988, kept the audience riveted with excellent advice on performance, motivation and how to recover after failure. Airbus then treated Colin to a trip in one of their helicopters, in which he had the opportunity to appreciate Marseille from the sky as he flew over the city.
Martin Bayfield
After dinner speech at Henley Rugby Football Club
Martin joined guests a prestigious black tie event in Henley Town Hall for Henley Rugby Football Club’s annual Sportsman’s Dinner. From Skiing with Graham Bell to a Holiday in Thailand, a city break in Dubai to a luxury bed; Martin was on hand to help auction off some fantastic prizes, encouraging guests to dig deep with his wit and enthusiasm. After the meal Martin delivered an after dinner speech that had guests roaring with delight, including anecdotes of how he appeared in the Harry Potter films as Hagrid’s body double and his experiences presenting on Crimewatch.
Lizzy Yarnold
Special guest at the Evening Standard New Homes Awards
Now in their 23rd year, The Evening Standard New Homes Awards have grown into a not to be missed ceremony for the building industry. As well as supplying Dara O’Briain as the host of this years’ awards, Prime Performers were proud to send one of our young Olympians Lizzy Yarnold to add some grace and inspiration to the event. The British Olympic Skeleton Champion took to the stage to hand out the awards and meet and greet the nominees, whilst posing for a photo with each winner. We are sure that the photos will be treasured as much as the awards themselves!
