Andy hosted a fundraising charity evening for around 100 people.
The tickets sold out extremely fast as everyone seems to love hearing about the Red Arrows. Andy was the consummate professional throughout the entire process. The event was our most successful to date, Andy was very entertaining, informative and illustrated his talk with uplifting action video clips and amusing anecdotes. With something for everyone, the room was enthralled; hanging on his every word and even when we overran the questions kept on coming from the floor. To top a great evening, we raised a record-breaking amount of money and people still talk about the event even now. Andy is a charismatic speaker with an ability to connect with a wide variety of people of all ages. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Andy – thank you so much for your recent talk to the Fairford Aviation Society. Your insight talk on the Red Arrows was fantastic – our members haven't stopped talking about it since! We would very much like you to return to give us another talk in the near future.
Thank you for your absolutely brilliant presentation on The Red Arrows, it was one of the most enjoyable evenings we have had in a long time – and we have had some very good speakers! Your success was demonstrated by the lengthy question session at the end.
