Discussion of price usually does not include travel or incidentals such as overnight stay, and long standing bookings will be honoured at the price agreed. Only if cancelled at your end is an admin fee payable, depending upon notice given and whether expenditure has been made, e.g. hotel or flight.
RELIABLE
Book and Andy turns up. Without tempting fate there's never been a time that cancelling from his side has occurred. Obviously, any deposit or payment is returned should it be his fault.
ANYTIME ANY WHERE

LESS MONEY THAN A REAL CELEBRITY
Competition amongst "disabled" speakers has grown in the last 30 years, and it is no longer possible to be just disabled, you need a talent or skill to get noticed and booked.
About Me
Andy Wright is a unique personality, having struggled through life's adventures to make sure he benefits from and gives back to the world using his assets and skills.
Thanks for stopping by the web site, which I hope will become your one and only source of information about what I can offer you.
There's loads of background details about me plus links to the other stuff I do such as computer programming, Karate, Tai Chi, Health related exercise and work related Training Sessions.
After reading about me and seeing the videos I have made over the years, quite a number of people have said to me "You're Inspirational" but I never really gave it much thought and certainly never considered the possibility of being so. They then went on to say I should consider giving talks to people and groups because my story was something people would like to hear.
My life as a human being is, in my opinion, pretty straight forward. Where it becomes complicated is when the cerebral palsy influences what I wish to achieve! Things are generally made more challenging for me when people say 'You'll never do that', such as winning my black belt in Karate, or walking.
I'm an Aries, so cannot stand losing or not being able to finish a task. It has been a long struggle - the first eight years of my life I was reliant upon a Wheelchair. I was living in an age when disabled children went off to special school and the Charitable Organisation for my condition was called "The Spastics Society".
At seventeen my DSS advisor (the one for people with disabilities) told my mum I should go home and claim benefits and not bother with working. I spent most of the 1980's unemployed, until getting a job on my own merits in 1989 with Avon Tyres (and touch wood, I've been in employment ever since).
My interest in public speaking was aroused when I was asked to speak at the 2007 South West Region Sport England Conference and then shortly after at a local event organised by the County Sport Partnership. Additionally I have attended several Wiltshire Schools to give talks about my life and experiences. I've also been on BBC Wiltshire Radio (2007, 2009, 2011) and am a regular guest on BBC Wiltshire.
As far as public speaking is concerned, whatever your particular topic I will aim to include some relevance in my talk; for example talking about employment to businesses, my world travel to travel Agents, School life to children etc. I can talk for as long as you need whether that's for an after dinner event, School Assembly or a Conference. The subject matter will always be based around my life and experiences and I will try to tailor the content and length to the age and ability of the participants.
