Transform leadership and business performance with Gary Neville, speaker and business strategist. Gary works with organisations to develop resilience, strategic thinking and high-performance culture, delivering insights from his successful career spanning professional football, property development and entrepreneurship.
Gary Neville is a businessman and former Manchester United and England footballer who built a second career in property, hospitality, and education after leaving the pitch. He's become one of the UK's most recognisable voices on leadership and high performance.
Neville made his England debut in 1995 and won 85 caps as the country's most-capped right-back, playing at three European Championships and two World Cups. Since retiring, he's built the Stock Exchange Hotel, co-founded UA92, and led the £400 million St Michael's development in Manchester.
His talks draw directly on what it takes to sustain a high-performance career across two very different industries. Gary shows audiences how the discipline he learned at Manchester United, turning up early, doing the unglamorous work, staying consistent, translates into building and running real businesses rather than managing a locker room.
Audiences leave with a clearer sense of what resilience looks like in practice, how consistent, reliable behaviour compounds over years rather than weeks, and why communication is as much a leadership skill in business as it is in sport. His stories are specific rather than motivational filler.
Book Gary to give your team a leadership story backed by two decades of results, on the pitch and off it.

To book Gary Neville, email gary.neville@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Gary's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
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.
