"I write as Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Business and Law at De Montfort University, Leicester. On a number of projects Champions plc have worked with both the wider university and the Faculty and have always been highly professional and extremely enthusiastic in all aspects of their work. They have access to leading entrepreneurs in all spheres of business and commerce as well as leading public sector personnel.

"Probably the best example of their involvement with DMU has been via sponsorship of Fox’s Lair, a business course module with some thirty distinguished entrepreneurs acting as mentors, something which serves to provide direct contact to the world of business for our undergraduate students. It is a tremendous success and Champions plc are at the heart of it. My experience over many years has been that Champions plc provides a bespoke service of the highest standard."

"I would like to say that it was a pleasure working with Peter and Willie on the night of our Celebrity Dinner. Both of them were happy to speak to guests, sign autographs and pose for photos where required. Willie did a fantastic job with the live auction, pulling some good bids in when it seemed unlikely. Nothing was too much trouble and I would recommend them to anyone else looking at potential speakers at events."

"Wow. A true gentleman. Polite and courteous to everyone. Peter’s speech to my boys was delivered to perfection and on a level that the boys understood. He spoke about his beginnings in his career and how hard it was then. He urged my players to try to achieve there goals and if it happens then all well and good but if it doesn’t just make sure you enjoy your football.

"He spoke about the hand of god goal and other key moments in his playing career that kept my boys interest and glued to there seats. Presented each boy with there trophy and smiled all the way through. He then signed autographs and posed for photos with everyone. I cannot thank you enough for arranging this for me as the teams had an excellent night. I would recommend Peter Shilton to any one having a football function. A true gentleman and a legend. I look forward to using your company for next year’s presentation but honestly think it would be hard to beat this year’s event. Thanks again."
