Speechwriting

Speeches can be one of the most challenging types of professional writing. Not only does the writer need a detailed knowledge of the subject and issues to be explored so the arguments presented are clear and compelling, but they should ideally be aware of the speaker's personality and spoken style. Within our specialist sectors we can give our clients the assurance that all our writers already have a good understanding of the audiences we are writing for, the current issues, language and terminology. We are even familiar with many of the main annual conferences and events, as well the regular faces on the speaker circuit.

We offer full assistance in the preparation, writing and editing of a large range of speeches, including:

• Ministerial speeches and speaking notes
• chairman and chief executive keynote speeches
• employer/stakeholder platform speeches
• business speeches or presentations
• awards ceremony speeches
• corporate video scripts
• re-working, editing and adding material to pre-drafted speeches.

All speeches are formatted in easy-to-read, final script format, so they are ready to simply print out and present.
