He is also familiar to millions in the UK through his regular live Wildlife programmes such as Britain Goes Wild and Wild in your Garden.

He is a regular public speaker, drawing on his extensive knowledge of the Natural World to provide lively and informative presentations, which can be illustrated by his still library archive, or his film imagery.

He is very familiar with motivational speaking in the business arena, deploying fun but factual parallels between the world of commerce and the harsh world of survival in the wild. His diverse professional life has taken him from the raging oceans of the South Atlantic, to the deep freeze of Antarctica, from the great plains of East Africa to the deserts of Australia.

He has worked in 6 continents in the most extreme conditions, and has a rich store of tales to tell from each, from the amusing and the inspiring, to the downright frightening!
