Speaking in Peterborough
Joe Burns speaks at conferences, panels, corporate events and training days in Peterborough and across Cambridge, on law and business, early-stage investment, and public service.
Enquire About SpeakingPeterborough is a cathedral city and one of the fastest-growing in the country, with large planned expansion to the south and west. Its housing spans Victorian terraces, the planned estates of the 1970s and extensive recent development.
Audiences in Peterborough 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 Peterborough 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.

Panel appearances and chairing

Joe Burns speaks at conferences, panels, corporate events and training days in Peterborough and across Cambridge, 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.
Peterborough has Victorian terraces around the centre, large 20th-century estates, and extensive new development at Hampton and Orton. Rapid growth means estate rentcharges and management companies are common, and parts of the city lie in flood zones. That is the backdrop to Speaking work in Peterborough, 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.
It depends on the shape of the instruction. Single matters are usually quoted as a fixed fee agreed in writing before we start; continuing arrangements are priced monthly against an agreed scope and reviewable as your needs change.
We provide speaking across Peterborough and the surrounding Cambridge 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.
