If you’re a business owner, author, academic or a guru with an inspirational message, we’ve launched a competition to get you noticed.
The UK Speechwriters’ Guild has teamed up with PEER 1 Hosting to find the best business speakers in Britain.
The winner will get a £2000 cash prize plus £1500 worth of PR support from a London agency. The runner-up will get a £1000 cash prize and the third place speaker will get a £500 cash prize.
