Speaker – Neil Hanson
Neil is a successful author with 70 published books to his name. As well as his own, much-acclaimed work, he’s also a “ghost writer”. His clients include household names – an American showbiz legend, England’s most celebrated cricketer, a famous actor, one of Britain’s most decorated soldiers, an England football manager and a man who turned his family’s bakery into Britain’s biggest fast-food chain – but also many less famous men and women who have led extraordinary lives or achieved remarkable things. Among many others they include the SAS, fast-jet pilots, explorers and adventurers, a treasure diver, kidnap negotiator, a notorious gangster, the first woman ever to qualify as a gamekeeper and deer-stalker, a leading surgeon and a spy.
A hugely engaging storyteller and award-winning speaker, Neil has entertained audiences at every type of occasion – corporate events, conferences, festivals, luncheon clubs, dinners and banquets – throughout the UK and right across the USA, Australia and New Zealand.
His talk “Inn & Out at the Top” is a laugh-a-minute tour of the quirks and foibles, highs and lows of his time running Britain’s highest inn back in the 1970s and 1980s. Grappling with tight-fisted farmers, eccentric characters, bizarre local customs, naturist weekends, “lates and lock-ins”, police raids, rats in the attic, close encounters with magistrates and planners, and the shooting of a famous double-glazing commercial.
