"Pass on my thanks to Marc for his talk yesterday. It's never the easiest slot being up last but he had the audience engaged, if not gripped, and the fact they wanted to ask questions and delay heading to the bar said it all really! I know Marc has to shoot off after so I didn't get the chance to catch him, but just wanted to pass on my thanks and appreciation for a brilliant talk" - Matt, Head of Marketing and Business Development, The Credit Hire Organisation

"A brilliant and fascinating contribution to our conference." - Institute of Risk Management

"Personally, I was very impressed with Marc’s presentation and the strong answers he provided in the Q&A session. The call we had with Marc a few weeks ago to discuss the scope and focus of Marc’s presentation was obviously taken on-board by Marc, meaning his talk really resonated with the people in my division. I would certainly recommend Marc to other people who are looking to explore collaboration as a topic." - Santander

"He touched upon every aspect of what we discussed in our pre-event brief so fully understood what it was we wanted to gain from his talk. He was funny; engaging and drew some great common themes that could be used not only in the F1 industry but that are relevant to many people’s working lives." - GSMA
