What Richard Quest's clients say
"Richard was an absolute delight to work with from soup to nuts. His engagement from the pre-planning calls to the post-conference wrap-up is noticeably different because he is adamant about understanding your point of view and ensuring he delivered against it. His delivery combines entertainment with information—it’s not every day you get a speaker in a suit moving chairs around onstage to mimic the discomforts of airplane cabins and chuckling all the way through it. Truly a pleasure to work with and he made understanding complicated issues like airline connectivity and capacity, digestible and easy to follow. I highly recommend Richard and not only will you be more than pleased with the deliverable, but also the process of getting there"
