Experts in putting together great speakers with great audiences, to create special, memorable and often life changing events.

Having developed expertise after many years’ experience in the Speakers industry, we decided to create an agency that provides a special and highly personalised experience for both the speakers and their audiences.  Papillon Speakers is a boutique and ethical Speaker Agency specialising in the best inspirational and motivational speakers whose topics include Leadership, Team Building, Mental Health, Overcoming Adversity, Diversity, Equality and Inclusion.   We only work with the best and are proud of our small (but perfectly formed) roster of speakers.  

We have a talent for putting together great speakers with great audiences and take enormous pride in meticulously researching the Clients’ needs and carefully matching the perfect Speaker to their brief.  It’s important to us and the people we work with to get the best value from the event so that everyone walks away with that “wow!” feeling, so often missing from yet another conference speaker. 

Whether your event is virtual or face to face, with an audience of 10 or 1000, we can transform your Conference, Seminar, Awards Ceremony or Training session into a memorable, thought provoking and often life changing event.

And a bit about the founder, Deborah Thomas… for over 10 years she has worked with some fantastic high calibre speakers in the industry, such as Greg Searle, Jo Malone, Baroness Karren Brady, Sir Clive Woodward, Tim Campbell, Chris Moon, Ranulph Fiennes and Midge Ure… too many speakers to mention.   Deborah prides herself on building great relationships with both her speakers and clients and investing time to really understand how her clients want to feel after any speaking engagement. 

Many of the speakers we work with have had life changing experiences, for example, overcoming incredible adversity or undergoing intensive training.  They overcame these challenges and developed their winning mind-set through sheer grit, determination, mental strength and training.  They now share their experiences in order to inspire others.  Such a transformation is epitomised by the extraordinary change from pupa to a beautiful butterfly.
