"When I invited Maura to be my keynote speaker at my Mayoral Dinner in March 2022, I deliberately chose her because I needed a strong female speaker who I knew could be engaging, motivational and funny. Maura did not disappoint!
She was all of these and more. I was so proud of her!
She cleverly ensured she appealed to every single person there evident as they rocked with laughter. My 150 guests including members of my family loved her humour.
Several guests commented afterwards how brilliant she was – one going as far as to say she was the best speaker he had heard, and I would agree!
I have heard Maura on several occasions speak at functions such as Ladies Lunches and fundraising events, all packed out because Maura was the speaker. She tells stories and has everyone roaring with laughter. Maura is very adept and can transfer these same skills at corporate events in her role as a charity CEO when hosting gala balls, AGMs and other fundraisers.
This brilliantly talented all-round woman is down to earth, honest and a real people person which adds to the overall experience. Maura’s gift of communicating hilariously will grace any event. She has been referred to as Bolton’s female Peter Kay. What an accolade but one with which I agree!"

BEE INSPIRED MARCH 2023
I was the last speaker at this 2 day event. Hosted by the most splendid Dani Wallace #IATQB at Old Trafford Stadium.
The feedback included:-
"You honestly were amazing, you spoke about using your life experiences to be and teach what you know and that strongly resonated with me. Don't change, you were absolute gold. Thanks for making me laugh, cry and learn."
"We witnessed gold, emotional gold. You stole the show, in the most magical way. Proud to have shared the same stage with you."
"You were absolutely bloody brilliant. I have not stopped talking about your talk and your amazing bloody resilience."
The AV guy told me..... "I've been running events like this for 20 years and I've been to loads. You are the best speaker I have ever heard."
"It was wonderful to listen to you. It was endearing, honest and funny. A compelling combination. Congratulations on a triumphant keynote speech."
"You were phenomenal. I never laughed so hard at a Bee Inspired talk and I have heard every single one. But it wasnt just how funny you are. You have done incredible things that have really helped people who most need it. I am a complete fan."
