Andy Costello, MMA Fighter and British Judo Champion on Ed:
"I first met Ed Akay at my local Toastmasters, when I saw him win their annual humorous speaking competition. Witty, charismatic and engaging, he stood head and shoulders above the rest of the field.
There was no one to rival Ed at club or are level in any of the categories; Table Topics, keynote speaking. He was too good, too much fun to watch, too articulate and thought provoking.
Ed coached me to become club champion, stepping down to give me a clear run at it. It was only then that. I realised the layers and skills he’d developed and made look so natural.
I have seen Ed on stage countless times and he has never been anything other than a delight."
