| Details of exactly
what Roy Sheppard has done with each
client is also included to demonstrate
his flexibility and breadth of
experience. Many
of these events have been in conjunction
with a range of conference production
companies. Roy is booked repeatedly by
these companies because conference
producers know they can rely on him to
deliver exactly what is needed to satisfy
their clients' brief.
Many of
the facilitation/interviewing jobs

production team attending briefing
sessions and coaching executives. For
some, Roy attended the initial pitch for
the business and on more than one
occasion directly helped the production
company secure that business.
