Andrew Marr
Andrew Marr helps audiences make sense of British politics, the economy, and geopolitics. The LBC presenter, New Statesman political editor, and former BBC Political Editor brings BAFTA-winning broadcasting and four decades of Westminster access to every event.
Andrew Marr is a broadcaster and political journalist who presents Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC and is political editor of the New Statesman. He speaks on British politics, the economy, and how history shapes today's headlines.
For more than two decades Andrew was one of the BBC's best-known faces, first as Political Editor from 2000 to 2005 and then as host of The Andrew Marr Show until 2021. He's also edited The Independent, won a BAFTA Richard Dimbleby Award, and written A History of Modern Britain.
Andrew has spent more than forty years in and around Westminster, from reporting on Parliament for The Scotsman to editing a national newspaper and leading the BBC's political coverage. That access lets him explain how political decisions actually get made and what's likely to follow. He pairs it with the long view from his BBC history series, including A History of the World and The Making of Modern Britain.
Audiences leave with a clear read on the political and economic outlook, from elections and policy shifts to trade and geopolitics. Andrew is known for the anecdotes he's gathered from decades of interviews, which make complex issues easy to follow. He also chairs conferences, moderates panels, and hosts awards evenings.
Andrew Marr is the right choice for an event that needs real authority on the issues shaping Britain, from a host who can keep a room informed and entertained.
Andrew Marr combines a former BBC Political Editor's access with his current roles at LBC and the New Statesman, so his analysis reflects what's happening in Westminster now. For conferences and client events, that means commentary audiences can act on and conversations that carry on well after the session.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
