Sir Stuart was a great speaker and a pleasure to work with, he was a wonderful keynote, with enormous enthusiasm and energy. He mixed humour with fact and was incredibly engaging. He took time to answer questions with our Chair after his speech, which was very well received indeed. The only thing I would note is that it would’ve been great if we had some time after the show for photographs, as Sir Stuart had to rush off back to London. Though I understand time is of the essence with these things, especially as the event was outside of London
