Derek Bell – Speaker:
His charm, wit, and charisma have made him a popular after-dinner speaker at conferences around the world.
Derek can also deliver motivational presentations on team-building and the importance of working effectively as a team.
He is always keen to point out that the driver is just the ‘tip of a very large mountain’. It takes a lot of work from a lot of people to get a race car, not only across the finishing line, but just onto the tarmac itself.
Despite the huge success Derek Bell has enjoyed in motorsport, he remains approachable and down to earth, qualities which have endeared him to a global fan base.
