Testimonials from Teachers

"As a speaker/presenter Steve shares with his audience his experience and his challenges, this is supported by fantastic photographs and videos of him taking part. He describes to the audience the preparation he does to be as fit as possible, to be challenge ready, the mind-set he gets into when he is facing extreme conditions i.e. fatigue, weather, altitude and hypothermia. He shares his mantra #dreambig #icanandiwill #nevergiveup and #believeyoucan.

The presentations are extremely well compiled, he captures people’s imaginations. He regards his experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking through the Sahara Desert, completing the North Pole Marathon, The Amazon Jungle Ultra and most recently scaling the highest mountain the North Africa to name but a few. It is not just an account of the challenge but there is always an underlining message ‘This could be you’.

Steve is an extremely charismatic, down to earth character. I have heard him speak to primary children, secondary children, adult audiences, prize presentations and recently he was asked to do a motivational speech for a professional football team. His pitch is always spot on! His audiences come away humble and motivated."

– Lorna Philip, Assistant Principal, Hathershaw College

"Steve became one of our Gold Award Presenters, undertaking this role at St James’s Palace last year, to share his inspirational challenges to recipients of The Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award. The feedback we received from this was a true reflection on what an inspiration Steve is and his ‘can do’ attitude. Having also presented at Holyrood House Palace in Edinburgh in the Summer, we have again asked him to present back at St James’s Palace next week having completed his latest challenge of climbing Mount Toubkal. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to present, inspire and motivate you with his remarkable and humble story of his challenges."

– Pamela Sleigh, Operations Officer, Greater Manchester Team The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

"We have used Steve as an inspiration speaker for 2 occasions in the last 12 months, including the Oldham Health Champions and the Oldham Sports Awards. Each event had a completely different audience, but on each, he had the audience completely gripped throughout.

The stories that Steve has to offer are phenomenal and leave the audience wowed at his accomplishments. He is a true inspiration and thrives on motivating others.

I would highly recommend Steve to anyone who is looking for an inspiration speaker."
