Official Testimonials

Chris Huhne is regularly booked to engage audiences at events, read their latest feedback below:

“Chris is an engaging and passionate speaker and I know delegates enjoyed the chance to meet him afterwards”

Reuters

“Unlike many previous incumbents, Mr Huhne combines a genuine concern for the environment with a detailed understanding of finance and economics. That augurs well. There is much work to be done, but yesterday Britain sounded like it finally had a grown-up energy policy.”

The Times

“Chris Huhne was absolutely brilliant and this interview showcases his wonderful political brain, but also an ability to pay credit to people he disagreed with, which is perhaps a rare trait these days. One of the most enjoyable interviews I have ever done”
