Confirmed Keynote Speaker for InsurED

Alan Chambers MBE - Key Note Speaker

Alan Chambers led the first successful British team to walk unsupported from Canada to the Geographical North Pole. After immense challenges – including the evacuation of two team members – and extreme frostbite and hunger, they managed to raise the Union Flag on top of the world at 23:16 hours 16th May 2000.

The walk on the ice lasted a gruelling seventy days. Even with meticulous planning and preparation, the unpredictable sharply reminded Alan and his team of their humanity. They suffered near starvation and a dwindling fuel supply to cover 500 miles against the worst polar weather in a hundred years. They had done what some said was impossible and it demanded an extraordinary high level of commitment, focus, leadership and teamwork. In addition to their own humble satisfaction with success, Alan was awarded the MBE in the Queens 2000 New Years Honours list for determination and strong leadership in such adverse conditions, and became a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society England.

Alan will be talking to us about delivering inspirational management and motivation in both his Key Note Speech and also a CPD session.
