“We were absolutely delighted with Sean Fitzpatrick, former All Black. Sean’s after dinner speech went down really well and he got a spontaneous standing ovation from the audience which is no mean achievement at this annual dinner. While clearly those with an interest in rugby thought he was brilliant I know from talking to other guests he went down equally well as his message was true to sport or business. His popularity was evident by the number who went to talk to him afterwards to sign autographs, take photographs with him etc., something that I have never seen before at any of our dinners. Sean was an absolute gentleman and was totally courteous to everyone and very easy to please” – Aeneas Lane, President of the Cork Institute of Bankers

“Sean draws parallels between sport and business. He mixes well with all levels of the organisation and puts the time in before and after his session to understand the business challenges and relate this to his rugby experiences” – Nestlé UK

“For a big man who ate other men for breakfast on the playing field, he is surprisingly a very good speaker. He speaks from the head and the heart. As with his game, what you see is what you get and for big organisations this is great to listen to” – Heinz

“A fantastic day, delivered by a real professional!! Thanks for all your efforts on Monday, really appreciate it. It must be a great feeling to be still winning new fans even though the boots are hung up! Best of luck this year and I will certainly be recommending you to some of my business contacts.”– John Russell, P& G Professional Care UK and Ireland
