Stuart Turner

Stuart Turner is recognised as one of the funniest after-dinner speakers in the country.  One trade federation reported after a speech that “he had people rolling in the aisles”, while the director of a professional institute wrote “I do not think I have heard such a tumultuous applause for any speaker at any of our previous conferences”.

He is uniquely qualified to talk about teamwork because he has practical experience of building world-beating teams, for not one but two companies, and in one of the most fiercely competitive areas there is – motorsport.  After being British Champion rally co-driver for three years, Stuart ran the BMC team when Mini Coopers were winning countless events, including several Monte Carlo Rallies.  He later moved to Ford and again built a successful team, which won not only individual events like the longest rally ever held, the London to Mexico, but also European and World Championships in both racing and rallying.
