Lord Digby Jones (then Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry) said: Kevin Steele is a speaker who drives forward the enterprise and innovation agenda... within a year of creating Enterprise Week, he built it to 2,000 events involving 5,000 organisations... by speaking to audiences all over the country.
June Sarpong, the Channel 4 television presenter, said: I first saw Kevin Steele speak when he was opening speaker for Gordon Brown... he had the right balance of wit, humour and inspiration and managed to crack the difficult audience of powerful men-in-grey-suits and tough teenagers.
