“ I would like to thank you for the excellent contribution you made to the J8 Summit this week. Without your outstanding and truly inspirational talk, the event would not have been the great success that it was.”

"... the more he described the outrageously challenging conditions and situations he has overcome, the more I and the others around me found ourselves wanting to go on a polar expedition ourselves, so engaging is his style ... He's a charismatic personality who can shift people's perception of what is achievable."
Mark Taylor – Commercial Director, Unigate Dairies

“I wanted to thank you particularly for such an interesting talk at the naming of Clyde Fisher. Over the years I have heard many post lunch or dinner speeches but yours was different because it had a real immediacy. I'm sure our guests shared with you the perils of your enthralling trip! One felt the danger – and that's quite an achievement. Thank you for helping make our event memorable.”
Tim Harris – Chairman, James Fisher and Sons PLC

''Property conferences have a reputation for ensuring sleep for all attendees! However it can fairly be said that Pen's approach to his incredible achievements in the polar regions came as a complete breath of fresh air to the 140 delegates. He genuinely captivated the audience with a humbling, matter-of-fact repartee so seldom heard any more. He has made a big impact on our audience and we would thoroughly recommend him as a highly professional speaker full of integrity and obvious grit. Many attendees have said he was truly the highlight of their day."
David Williams – Director, Commercial Agency, Savills International

“Pen's faultless delivery, captivating anecdotes and straightforward honesty about his extraordinary achievements held us all in his thrall. He is the living embodiment of achievement through sheer hard work, determination and fastidious planning. He inspires everyone he touches and reminds us that there is everything to play for."

"The man, quite simply, is an inspiration. He is truly a much-needed modern day romantic hero. There were touching moments, tearful moments and stirring moments, but we all left wishing there could be a little bit of the remarkable Pen Hadow within us."
Bath Chronicle, Bath Literary Festival

"They really were thrilled to bits with you. I am certain we can do this again and will endeavour to put you forward. Thank you so very much for all your hard work on behalf of myself and the Outdoor Activity staff who also had a great time!"
Bovey Castle, Dartmoor

"Had to let you know how everyone was so inspired by your speech and kept your messages top of mind throughout the meetings. Your name came up repeatedly, as did your approach to challenges: attention to details, forseeing simple incidents, judgement calls, self discipline, use of imagery. It was fantastic. It would have been great to have had you there the rest of the days. The synergy and chemistry were evident."
