"Andrew was a very nice chap and I was looking forward to hearing his speech. Some colleagues, who were particularly interested in the topic, found it really interesting and former students did appear attentive."

"Andrew Sykes not only has a fascinating story to tell, but he also possesses the rare ability to captivate and activate his audience. Seldom have I seen my class so genuinely interested in a visitor to our school. Mr Sykes was able to call on his years of experience of classroom management to ensure a well-ordered and varied interaction with the class. Inspirational and thoroughly recommended!"

“When the Tour de France came to Yorkshire (and Ripon), Andrew was high on our list of speakers for our cultural festival at Ripon Cathedral. His humorous and interesting adventures around Europe were extremely well received, inspiring many in the audience to believe that cycling adventures were there for the taking. Andrew has a very open, flowing and engaging style, making the audience feel at ease, relaxed and as if they are listening to a friend, always the sign of a good author and great speaker. Would we book him again? In an instant!”

“Andrew is one of the most entertaining presenters we have had the privilege to invite to an event. He gave a very descriptive and entertaining talk about his travels around Europe as part of his book tour to a varied group of cyclists and non-cyclists. Everyone who attended enjoyed the presentation and I have never experienced so many people eager to ask more questions and engage with the speaker than with Andrew’s presentation.”
