After Dinner Speakers
Andrew Castle, former professional tennis player and television presenter, is the great-grandson of social reformer Annie Besant. He was a national junior champion before moving to the United States on a tennis scholarship at the University of Wichita.
Castle joined the ATP tour in 1986 and made his Davis Cup debut for Great Britain that same year. Over his eight years on the professional circuit, he reached one ATP Tour singles final in 1988 in Seoul and won three doubles titles. His performances in grand slam tournaments were mixed; he reached the mixed doubles final at the 1987 Australian Open with Anne Hobbs and was a semi-finalist in the men’s doubles at the same event in 1988. He was fined most of his prize money for protesting British government tax policy during the 1990 British National Championship final.
After retiring from tennis, Andrew transitioned to a career in broadcasting. He began as a commentator for Sky Sports and later became the main anchor for ITV’s breakfast programme. He also contributes to the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage. Castle's work in television has made him a familiar face in British media. He joined GMTV in 2000, where he remained for a decade. His presenting roles have included coverage of the Aegon Championships, the Davis Cup, and the French Open, earning his team a BAFTA nomination.
In addition to his broadcasting work, Andrew Castle is an engaging and memorable keynote speaker and event host. He has participated in events for various clients, including Barclays, The Sunday Times, and BP. His career has spanned sports and media, establishing him as a prominent figure in both fields.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
