Build inclusive, cohesive workplaces with Trevor Phillips, speaker, equality and human rights expert. Trevor works with organisations to strengthen diversity strategies and navigate complex social issues, delivering knighted expertise as former Equality Commission Chair and Sky News presenter.
Sir Trevor Phillips is a writer, broadcaster and public figure recognised for his longstanding work on equality, human rights and social cohesion. Drawing on decades of experience in politics, media and public service, he brings insight into how societies can confront complex issues of race, faith and freedom of expression.
Trevor began his career in broadcasting, working for London Weekend Television before becoming Head of Current Affairs and later producing award-winning documentaries. With his brother, he co-authored Windrush: The Irresistible Rise of Multi-racial Britain, and the television series Windrush went on to win a Royal Television Society award. His later documentaries, including Things We Won’t Say About Race (That Are True) and What British Muslims Really Think, cemented his reputation as a commentator unafraid to explore difficult themes through data and storytelling.
In 2003 he was appointed Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality, later becoming the founding Chair of its successor, the Equality and Human Rights Commission. His leadership made him the longest-serving head of any UK equality commission. Beyond public policy, he has held senior roles across corporate and cultural boards, including as Chair of Green Park Interim and Executive Recruitment, co-founder of data consultancy Webber Phillips, and a non-executive director of Mind Gym. He also chairs the global freedom of expression charity Index on Censorship.
Today Trevor combines his role as presenter of Sky News’ Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips with writing as a columnist for The Times. Knighted in 2022 for services to equality and human rights, he continues to influence public debate at the intersection of politics, society and the media.

To book Trevor Phillips, email trevor.phillips@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 Trevor'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.
