Tom Bosworth, OBE, is a two-time Olympic racewalker and triple world record-holding athlete. He was Captain of England Athletics for the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where he secured a silver medal.
In 2015, Tom became the first openly gay track and field athlete representing Team GB and has since campaigned for equality and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community. He is also a champion of mental well-being in sports following his battle with depression.
Away from the track, Tom has appeared on broadcast channels such as Eurosport and the BBC, including as a guest commentator and as a guest on ITV’s The Celebrity Chase. In 2022, the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham marked Tom’s last international race appearance, and he crossed the line to a standing ovation from 27,000 people. Later that year, Sky Sports featured his marriage to his long-term partner Harry.
Tom has vast experience speaking on his experiences and ways sport can improve to make a truly welcoming environment for all, having spoken to the Culture, Media and Sport parliamentary committee, met with the Chairman of the FA to discuss homophobia in football, addressed National Governing Bodies on behalf of Sport England, and spoken at Wembley for Stonewall.
At Paris 2024, Tom worked at the Olympic Games as an athletics co-commentator for Eurosport, hosting TikTok’s official Olympic content, and at the Paralympic Games as a stadium announcer for CTV.

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.
