I work at a local school/business. Would it be possible for a member of your staff to come in and give a speech/presentation to our students/staff?

We are keen to connect as much as we can with local schools and businesses and when possible we always try to meet requests such as this. However as it involves our staff leaving their normal working activities, we do have to ask for a fee for such requests.

Do you offer training?
