“I can honestly say that Dean Saunders was one of the best speakers we have had over the 20 years of our dinner. I have received more feedback from our guests about this dinner than ever before. Our audience loved the speakers. Dean is an absolute gentleman and couldn’t do enough. He stayed right to the end and was happy to pose for photographs and sign autographs all night. His speech was excellent and I can’t believe he was on his feet for nearly 50 minutes!!! Never had that before, that’s value for money.”
