Brad Burton's biography

At a glance

  • UK's No.1 Motivational Business Speaker
  • Amazon's Highest-Rated Business Author
  • Founder of Largest Business Network in the UK
Brad Burton knows what it takes to turn life around. Raised on a council estate and left without qualifications, he spent years grappling with unemployment, debt, and a series of dead-end jobs. By the age of 31, he was a father, deeply in debt, and delivering pizzas to make ends meet. It was during this low point that Brad realised a shift in mindset could be his way out. This moment marked the start of a journey that would eventually see him build a multi-million-pound business and become one of the UK’s most sought-after motivational speakers. Known as the UK’s No.1 motivational business speaker, Brad speaks from experience, not just theory. He is the founder of the UK’s largest business networking organisation, which he led for 16 years before selling it in 2022. Through his four best-selling books and over 2,500 public speaking engagements, Brad has established himself as a genuine voice in the business and motivational world. His relatable, no-nonsense approach has resonated with audiences across the UK, from young entrepreneurs to established CEOs, helping them tackle challenges with renewed resilience and focus. Brad’s journey is a testament to the power of grit, adaptability, and a positive outlook. His story, peppered with humour and grounded by the ups and downs of real life, brings something different to every stage he steps on. Audiences don’t just leave inspired, they leave ready to act. Brad’s authenticity and candour have earned him a loyal following and consistently high ratings, making him Amazon’s highest-rated motivational business author. Whether he’s discussing resilience, mindset, or team performance, Brad tailors his talks to meet the specific needs of each organisation. His presentations are designed to energise, challenge, and offer practical insights, making an impact long after the event is over.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

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 logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

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.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

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

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

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.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
