Business speakers: Inspire your team with a talk from a captain of industry at the Guildhall or London Stock Exchange

Business leaders are the new rock stars, and nothing will inspire your team like a personal lecture from Gala’s charismatic captains of industry. From Dragons’ Den and Apprentice stars to top-flight football club owners, we have all the power players at our fingertips and can welcome you to fabled UK business venues including The Guildhall and London Stock Exchange. Are you in?

Celebrity business speakers at iconic venues

Gala can offer exclusive access to business venues across the UK (just ask our team for details) but many of our clients choose the electric atmosphere of The Guildhall or London Stock Exchange as the perfect setting for a team-talk from a titan of industry. 

The Guildhall is a grade I-listed landmark whose 800-year history is underlined by its jaw-dropping architecture and inspiring event rooms. Just as iconic is the London Stock Exchange, whose founding in 1571 makes it one of the oldest exchanges in the world. Whichever setting you choose, you’ll have the option of a behind-the-scenes tour, learning about each building’s colourful history and role in the business world.

Then settle back with your valued clients or key employees, as your chosen business leader takes the stage to spark motivation, share career stories and even take questions from your group. As an optional extra, why not ask the Gala team about creating a motivational session or hands-on workshop following the keynote speech, setting you on the path to your own business goals and sending you home inspired. 

These are just some of the business figures available for our 2024 celebrity experiences (simply ask the Gala team if you don’t see your favourite name below).
