Kent Police Leadership Conference

"We started the year in last place. We took on board the Polar Bear Pirates concept, used it daily to motivate ourselves/the team and to ensure that we stayed focused. By June we were up to second and come year-end, we finished number one. It had a huge impact on our performance."

Mark Hussein,

Head of Insurance and Investments (Commercial),

HSBC

"We have worked with many of the country's leading keynote speakers over the years and they have all been good, but in many ways Adrian surpassed them all."

"The brief for a motivational speaker was more than fulfilled as Adrians energy, humour and superb insight into the real world of sales had everybody mesmerised and entertained from the moment he walked onto the stage. Life hasn't been quite the same since as we all now aspire to permanently residing in Fat City and living as Polar Bear Pirates!"

Lever Faberge

"Adrian Webster was highly recommended to us as a brilliant speaker. He was an absolute star."

Madeline Pearson,

Communications Manager,

Taylor Woodrow

"Adrian was fantastic! A style, which I have never seen, used so effectively. He had us in hoots but could change within minutes to deliver a very serious message with such feeling and power. Without a doubt the guy had everyone in the room hanging on every word for the full speech. Added to that, he was such enjoyable company."

BT PLC

"Adrian was absolutely fantastic last Friday at our Seminar. It's not easy to win the hearts and minds of a room full of people in the building industry. Many come having already decided they would rather be somewhere else, or that this sort of thing is for office staff only, etc., but Adrian won them over hook, line and sinker! He talks in a language that everybody can relate to. Adrian is highly entertaining but much more, he has the ability to make you think."

St James Group

"A great laugh, really inspiring and very true to life."

Clive Woodward,

England World-Cup winning RU Coach

Adrian Webster's 2024 biography

The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, Adrian began his career as a police officer in Bristol. However, unable to contain an entrepreneurial urge and a burning desire to “do something different”, he soon found himself setting up a highly innovative dairy business, before successfully diversifying into a wide range of other areas ranging from frozen food to recruitment and property.

Armed with a genuine love and proven talent for selling, Adrian entered the IT industry, where he quickly established himself as one of the UK’s top Sales professionals.

From Corporate sales Manager of US Robotics, he moved to leading distributor Northamber plc as Group Sales & Training Manager, where he led a team of 150 to phenomenal success, and discovered his ability to inspire others.

Adrian is a serial Best-Selling Business Author. His first book ‘Polar Bear Pirates and Their Quest to Reach Fat City‘ was first published in 2002 by Capstone. The Polar Bear Pirate series of books is a uniquely entertaining and often hilarious look at business and Personal Development.

In his most recent book ‘TNTs – Tiny Noticeable Things’, Adrian shares his ideas along with the personal experiences of over 100 contributors to help you harness the power of TNTs and take your organisation and personal relationships to the next level.

Discover the tiny tweaks that elevate the most successful teams to astounding heights, find out what makes employees genuinely happy, hear from customers about the subtle ‘human’ touches that have put smiles on their faces, and gain invaluable insights into how just the smallest of things can give such a positive lift to those around us.
