Adrian Webster - Author, Business Speaker and Motivational Speaker.

Riot copper, milkman and salesman were just a few of the entries on Adrian Webster’s CV before he moved into the I.T industry and discovered an ability to motivate and inspire others.

Today, Adrian Webster is probably the most entertaining and effective motivational speaker on the UK circuit. He specialises in delivering key messages on behalf of clients in a humorous and completely unique, down to earth style that audiences can easily relate to.

His addictively inspirational presentations help people at all levels and from diverse backgrounds to make a very real difference in their workplace.

Drawing on his vast amount of practical experience as a motivator and team builder Adrian Webster brings to life a whole new world of fun motivational terminology and characters that everyone can instantly identify with, take away and put to good use - a world not a million miles away where TNTs rule and Neg Ferrets, BLOATERS and Sinkers reside…all of whom you will no doubt instantly recognise!

The son of a Yorkshire coal miner, Adrian Webster started off his colorful career as a Police Officer in St Pauls, Bristol. He left shortly after the St Paul’s riots to go ‘back to school’ and ended up becoming President of Southampton Students Drama.

Fed up with being a poor student, he spent the next four years building up a dairy company by knocking on thousands of doors and persuading households and local shops to buy his milk. Having established the dairy business he worked as, amongst many other things, a radio presenter on local radio in Bristol.

To help ‘fund’ his career, Adrian Webster started selling a wide range of products, ranging from frozen food to houses. He quickly discovered he could make some real money in sales and began to take selling seriously, the part time sales side soon took over as his full time career.  

In 1987, he moved into I.T sales and by 1989 he had established himself as one of the most successful sales professionals in the industry.

After two highly successful years as Corporate Sales Manager of US Robotics, he joined Northamber Plc an I.T Distributor as Group Sales and Training Manager responsible for recruiting, training, motivating and ‘driving’ 150 staff to achieve phenomenal success on shoestring budgets.

It was during this time, out of pure necessity to inspire and retain staff that the world of ‘Polar Bear Pirates’ was born and Adrian discovered an ability to turn teams of everyday people with little or no ability into some of the most productive in the I.T industry.

Fuelled by a desire to try to gain a better understanding of what really makes exceptional people tick he set about researching some of the UK’s most successful people. These six years of research along with his real-life experiences, raw energy and sense of humour combine to create a thrilling roller coaster style that is completely original, hilariously funny and brilliantly effective.

A great laugh, really inspiring and very true to life

Sir Clive Woodward

Adrian Webster was highly recommended to us as a brilliant speaker. We were very unsure of using him because we’d never heard of him. We went ahead and used him…he was an absolute star.

Taylor Woodrow Plc

The brief for a “motivational speaker” was more than fulfilled as Adrian’s energy, humour and superb insight into the real world of sales had everybody mesmerised and entertained from the moment he walked onto the stage. Life hasn't been quite the same since as we all now aspire to permanently residing in Fat City and living as Polar Bear Pirates!

Lever Faberge

Adrian Webster was absolutely fantastic last Friday at our Seminar.  It's not easy to win the hearts and minds of a room full of people in the building industry.  Many come having already decided they would rather be somewhere else, or that this sort of thing is for office staff only, etc., but Adrian won them over hook, line and sinker! He talks in a language that everybody can relate to. Adrian is highly entertaining but much more, he has the ability to make you think.

St James Group

We have worked with many of the country’s leading keynote speakers over the years and they have all been good, but in many ways Adrian surpassed them all.

Bodylife UK Ltd

Adrian Webster was fantastic! A style which I have never seen used so effectively. He had us in hoots but could change within minutes to deliver a very serious message with such feeling and power. Without a doubt the guy had everyone in the room hanging on every word for the full speech. Added to that, he was such enjoyable company.

BT PLC

Adrian Webster was one of the best keynote speakers we have had in our 28- year history.

Car Care Plan

Adrian Webster really is one of the best keynote speakers I have ever heard. 

He manages to captivate every type of audience right from the moment he starts and always leaves them wanting more. Adrian has a unique ability to have his audience rolling around in laughter one minute to suddenly getting them to hang on to his every word where a pin drop could be heard.  The messages Adrian shares will stay with you for life as they are fundamental, full of common sense and yet really make the difference when it comes to bringing out the best in others.

AXA PPP

You had me listening to every word and taking in every word you spoke.

Siemens

Adrian Webster exceeded our expectations. The overall consensus is that Adrian came across as a breath of fresh air and it was totally different to any other speech delivered to an IBM audience. I have never attended a meeting at IBM before where people have laughed so much. He definitely made a big impact at IBM and we would welcome him back tomorrow if we had the chance. The only complaints we have had are from people who were unable to see him in action.
IBM

I was really blown away by Adrian Webster – what a great guy – like a younger Rick Stein but with a passion for people rather than food!
