Phil Tufnell
Affectionately
known throughout the cricketing world as 'The Cat', Phil has entertained
many sporting crowds over the years. During recent times, he has used
his 'mischievous' reputation to his advantage and regularly enjoys the
banter referring to his 'alleged' misadventures. His many television,
radio and personal appearances, both in cricket and in the 'showbiz' world,
have all been well received by both young and old alike, as the person
on the street can easily identify with Phil as the 'lad next door' with
his extremely down to earth nature.
Phil is hugely experienced in corporate and after dinner entertaining as well as Awards Presentations and Personal Appearances. He is able to combine his 18 years of International cricket experience with his subsequent career as a TV personailty from Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here to They think It All Over and not forgetting ricket commentary of course.
Jennie Bond
A runner up on ITV1's "I'm a Celebrity...Get me out of here!",
Jennie Bond is one of the most familiar faces on British television having
been the the BBC's Royal Correspondent for thirteen years.
She has also been a regular news presenter on BBC Television. She lectures at home and abroad on her work, giving an insight into life behind the scenes at the BBC and at Buckingham Palace. With plenty of laughs along the way, she recalls the dramas of covering the turbulent years of the royal "soap opera" and her meetings with members of the royal family - including long conversations with Diana Princess of Wales.
Jennie is an accomplished after-lunch or after-dinner speaker as well as being a very experienced conference host and facilitator.
Lord Brocket
The
surprise star of ITV1's "I'm a Celebrity...Get me out of here!".
Lord Brocket first hit the headlines when he was sent to prison after being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud an insurance company. He served two and a half years in seven prisons. The former army lieutenant says his time in prison was something which, whilst he wouldn’t wish to repeat it, made him a much better person, with a much greater tolerance of others.
His experiences form part of his fascinating life story. His father died when he was just 9 years old. The title of Lord Brocket passed to him at the age of 21 when his grandfather died and he inherited the crumbling ruin, Brocket Hall. But his grandfather left him in poverty. Brocket borrowed some money from an American bank (no British bank would touch him) and he set about converting his home into one of the world’s foremost hotel and conference venues. Friends were invited to weekend demolition parties to smash down walls, rewire the electrics and rebuild the antiquated plumbing. Today, Lord Brocket still owns the Hall, in Hertfordshire, which is worth an estimated £42 million. It is rented out on a long-term lease to a German consortium.
He now lives in London, works as an architect and is very much in demand on the corporate circuit as an hilarious after dinner speaker and raconteur.
