After Dinner Speakers
Annabel Croft is a former British Number One tennis player who became one of the most recognisable faces in British sport and broadcasting. After an early start to her career on the global tennis stage, she stepped away from professional sport aged just twenty-one. Her transition into television and radio was seamless, quickly becoming a familiar voice and presence across the UK's major broadcasters.
Annabel's insights into elite performance, media, and wellbeing are shaped by a unique life story. She reached the upper ranks of international tennis as a teenager, winning the WTA San Diego title and representing Great Britain in prestigious tournaments including the Fed Cup and Wightman Cup. Known for her engaging playing style and charisma, she later brought these same qualities to mainstream television, fronting shows such as Treasure Hunt and Interceptor, and reporting for broadcasters including the BBC, Sky Sports, Eurosport and Amazon Prime Video.
Her long-standing presence in tennis media includes coverage of Wimbledon, the US Open, and the ATP Masters Series. Away from sport, Annabel has used her platform to highlight issues ranging from child obesity to women's health, and has taken part in impactful documentaries including Famous, Rich and Homeless. She is also known for her commitment to promoting fitness and healthy living, co-founding the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy and launching initiatives encouraging young people to be active. In 2023, she took on a new challenge as a contestant in Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the semi-finals and taking part in the national tour. Annabel brings a grounded perspective on resilience, balance and transformation, drawing from personal experience to speak with authenticity and warmth.

Annabel Croft's sessions cover themes of elite performance and resilience, health and fitness, and career transition and reinvention.

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.
