Speaking in Brentwood
Joe Burns speaks at conferences, panels, corporate events and training days in Brentwood and across Essex, on law and business, early-stage investment, and public service.
Enquire About SpeakingBrentwood is a prosperous commuter town in south-west Essex, on the Elizabeth line and close to the M25. It combines a historic high street with substantial residential areas of 1930s and post-war homes, and a long-established premium end of the market.
Audiences in Brentwood range from professional bodies and business networks to corporate teams and community groups, and each needs something different from a speaker. We will talk through the room and what it has to decide before the date, so the session lands properly.
An audience in Brentwood gives its attention once. Talks are built around what the room actually has to decide, using real transactions, real risks and real outcomes rather than theory, and are pitched to be useful the following Monday.
Conference keynotes and after-dinner talks
Panel appearances and chairing
Workshops and half-day training sessions
Corporate and professional development events
Public policy and public service events
Bespoke sessions built around your audience
Joe Burns speaks at conferences, panels, corporate events and training days in Brentwood and across Essex, on law and business, early-stage investment, and public service. Talks are built around what the room actually has to decide, using real transactions, real risks and real outcomes rather than theory.
The most common bookings are conference keynotes, after-dinner talks, panel appearances and half-day workshops, and each session is tailored to the audience in front of it: a professional body, a business network, a corporate leadership team, or a community organisation.
Brentwood is characterised by large interwar detached and semi-detached homes, 1930s avenues and executive development on the town's fringes. Generous plots and development potential mean buyers routinely ask us to check restrictive covenants and planning history before committing. That is the backdrop to Speaking work in Brentwood, and it shapes the questions we raise at the outset.
Whether the instruction in {{place}} is a one-off or an ongoing arrangement, the sequence below is how the work runs.
We start with who is in the room, what they are responsible for, and what they need to leave with. A talk that lands with a room of lawyers is not the same as one that lands with a room of founders.
The content is built around that: the argument, the examples and the practical points, with a clear structure rather than a list of observations.
Sessions are delivered in plain language, with the material pitched to be useful the following Monday. Questions are taken properly, and where an audience wants to go further, the discussion is followed up.
Where it is useful, attendees are given the material, the references and a way to take the subject further within their own organisation.
Law and business, particularly property, corporate and commercial subjects; early-stage investment and what founders should understand before raising; and public service, policy and strategy. Bespoke sessions are built where an event needs something specific.
Yes. Talks are given across the UK and arrangements are made around the event, whether that is a conference, a corporate away day, a training programme or a community event.
Send the date, the audience and what you want them to take away, and we will come back with what we can offer and a fee. Where an event is for a charity or a school, say so, as those are often accommodated differently.
Very little to begin with: the documents you already hold, the names of anyone else involved, and a note of what you want to achieve and by when. We take it from there and tell you what else we need.
We provide speaking across Brentwood and the surrounding Essex area, including:
Tell us what you need and we will come back with a clear scope, a named contact and a fixed fee wherever we can.
