John Silvester hit the mark perfectly.  The audience of CEOs we assembled were fascinated with his insights into the world of crime – he was highly informative and very witty - a great  mix which created a lot of laughter – perfect for the evening dinner he spoke over.   We very much enjoyed working with him.
