Mathew was fantastic for our recent 6 Months to Go event at Procter & Gamble. He was a brilliant public speaker, engaging the whole audience with his great stories but also amazing table tennis skills. We had a wonderful day with him and are still revelling in the skill and tactics behind his game as well as his engaging personality. We received a great service from Raise the Bar which helped deliver a fantastic event.
