  • Holder of the Land Speed Record at 763.035 mph
  • Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) recipient
Andy Green is a highly accomplished individual, known for his successful career as a Royal Air Force fighter pilot and world record holder. With expertise in transport engineering, he is a captivating and engaging speaker, sharing his experiences as the first man to drive at supersonic speeds and what motivates him to continually push himself and break records. In 1997, Andy shattered the Land Speed Record that had stood for 50 years, reaching an astonishing speed of 763.035 miles per hour. This made him the first person in the world to achieve supersonic speeds, a record that remains unbeaten to this day. Additionally, in 2006, he set the diesel Land Speed Record, which still stands at 350.091 miles per hour over a decade later. For his remarkable achievements, Andy was honored with the Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998. He also received the prestigious Segrave Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club, recognizing his exceptional skill and bravery in land, water, and air. Furthermore, he has been awarded the John Cobb Trophy by the British Racing Driver's Club and received an honorary degree from Staffordshire University. Andy’s journey began with an RAF scholarship to study at Worcester College, University of Oxford, where he graduated with First Class Honors in 1983. He then progressed within the RAF, becoming a Pilot Officer and qualifying as a fighter pilot on F-4 Phantom and Tornado F3 aircraft. Throughout his career, Andy served in operational tours in the Falklands Islands, the Middle East, and Afghanistan, eventually rising to the rank of Wing Commander and Officer Commanding Operations Wing at RAF Wittering. Currently, Andy is actively involved in the Bloodhound LSR Project, which aims to break the Land Speed Record he originally set. Due to his determination and unparalleled expertise in breaking the sound barrier, he has been selected as the driver for the record attempt. Andy also captains the Royal Air Force Cresta Run team, showcasing his continued involvement in the military. Andy Green’s life experiences as the world’s fastest man, a daredevil, RAF veteran, and fighter pilot make him an enthralling speaker.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
