"What a presence! From that moment Tim arrived he actively engaged with our members and seemed to speak to us personally throughout his talk to a room of 130+. We enjoyed Tim's delivery and gainee insight into the world of TV ads."

"Tim went down a storm with our WI group. Unlike most speakers, he made a point of circulating and chatting to some of the ladies in the tea break prior to his slot, and when he got up to speak he commanded the attention of the room. In a talk littered with brilliant cameos of the characters he was describing, he explained how, after many years as a professional actor, he had to submit to an audition for a crowd of some 80 WI members before he was accepted on to the official list of speakers. His stories of auditioning for and making commercials were at the same time informative and hilarious, and he was brilliant at involving the audience. A mix indeed of Frankie Howerd and Kenneth Williams!
Many of the ladies made a point of saying how much they enjoyed Tim's talk.
Highly recommended and well worth the money!!!"
