Mark Butcher is an English cricket commentator and former Test cricketer. He played county cricket for Surrey from 1992 until his retirement in 2009. As a left-handed batsman and occasional bowler, he made a significant impact on the game. After retiring, Butcher pursued music, becoming a skilled guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter.
His work has garnered praise from fans and critics alike, including Eric Clapton. He blends his love for music with his sports expertise, creating a unique artistic identity. His albums, "Songs From The Sun House," "Now Playing," and "Always Somewhere," showcase his songwriting talent. Butcher is recognised as one of the prominent county cricket players of the 1990s and 2000s.
He debuted in 1992 and quickly established himself with a First-Class batting average of 40.70%. In 2010, he received an Honorary Life Membership from the Marylebone Cricket Club. His Test career began in 1997 at Edgbaston, where he played 71 matches over seven years, averaging over 34 and scoring eight centuries. He made a strong impression during the Ashes Series against Australia and performed well against South Africa. Coached by his father, former cricketer Alan Butcher, he became a respected pundit, primarily for Sky Sports and on the radio programme Test Match Special. His consistent performances at Surrey led to his selection for the national team, where he remained a key player for nearly a decade.

To book Mark Butcher, email mark.butcher@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 Mark'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.
