Gary Neville is a prominent businessman and former professional footballer. His business journey began at 21 with property development. While his Manchester United teammates relaxed on flights, Gary focused on property contracts, showcasing his early drive to learn.

Gary made his international debut for England in 1995 and was the first-choice right-back for over 10 years, representing the nation at three European Championships and two FIFA World Cups. He is England's most-capped right-back, with 85 international appearances.

Since his football days, Gary has built a diverse portfolio in hospitality, property, academia, media, and sport. His Stock Exchange Hotel ranks among the best in Manchester, and his university, UA92, is challenging traditional education models. The £400 million St Michael’s project is a significant property development in Manchester City Centre. Recently, he appeared as a guest investor on Dragon’s Den.

Through his experiences at Manchester United and in business, Gary has developed beliefs and values that have guided him through the challenges of a high-performance career. He emphasises the importance of resilience and communication in himself and among his 700 employees and UA92 students. He also believes that consistency, reliability, and persistence are essential for success in both business and sport.

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. 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.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
